“…when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him…” We explore the Day of the Lord as a day of judgment in the Cross, where hope is found in our sorrow, and redemption discovered in the mourning.

“It is to your advantage that I go away,” Jesus tells His disciples. What does that mean? We explore the Trinitarian Good News in the Ascension: that though we no longer see the Son, the Father does, and by the Spirit we believe and come to share in the life and love of the Trinity.

How is Pentecost—the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church—also the gift of our true humanity, revealed in Jesus? We unpack the depths of Jesus’s reply to Philip’s request: “Show us the Father.”

At the end of 1 Samuel 12, Israel recognizes her mistake in having chosen for themselves a king like other nations have rather than God, and yet encounters—even in their rejection of Him—God’s unshakeable faithfulness to them.

In this homily, we explore Augustine’s notion that while Christ’s Resurrection is our hope, His Ascension is our glorification.

Plumbing the depths of the “Tree of Life” in Revelation 22:2, we explore the end of Revelation as the harvest of all Scripture—a final word about God’s self-revelation in Christ, and what that means for the Church today.

It’s all too easy to imagine our holiness as merely morality when we imagine God’s holiness in terms of power and aloofness. What if, however, God’s holiness was all about His intimacy with us—His drawing near with us to be with us, His children? What does our holiness look like then? We look at Leviticus 19 to reflect on the shape of that kind of holiness.

The image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd blurs in John 10 with the reality of Jesus as the very glory of God come to the Temple. How is He met with unbelief? How is that a picture of our lives? And where is the Good News for us in all of this?

Explore why Revelation 5 offers us the key to understanding the meaning of all Scripture, all history, and all of our lives—Lamb who was slain as the One worthy to open the scroll.

Serminarian Nathan Taylor (Trinity Anglican Seminary, Ambridge, PA) invites us to consider what transforms Thomas from a skeptic into that apostle who utters the most Christological exclamation of John’s Gospel: “My Lord and my God!”

Alleluia! The Lord is risen! Easter declares a hope beyond all our hoping that empowers us to look into the worst—the graves of our lives—and know that Jesus’s glorious resurrection has the final word over us. Preacher: The Rev. Dr. Leonard Finn, Rector

Easter is the unstoppable Life of God in Christ that breaks forth from that tomb and now from us in and through our baptisms.

John's Gospel account has no birth narrative, even as it talks about the need to be reborn. How is the burial of Jesus a picture of a coming birth, and what does that mean for us?

Why does Luke uniquely situate the disciples' debate about who is the greatest right in the middle of the Last Supper? And how does that compare with what Jesus says about this meal?

Uniquely in Luke’s Gospel, the centurion praises God after Jesus has died, exclaiming, “Certainly this man was innocent!” We reflect on what Luke is theologically showing us in this moment about the meaning of the death of Jesus on the Cross—both for that centurion and for us.

Serminarian Zachary Miguel (Trinity Anglican Seminary, Ambridge, PA) unpacks the Parable of the Wicked Tenants.

Why talk about circumcision? We unpack the what’s figurally at the heart of this ancient practice and trace the theme from Joshua to Jesus, exploring how true tranformation comes through death and resurrection through Christ and celebrated in our baptisms. Preacher: The Rev. Dr. Leonard Finn

What does it mean that Christ was the Rock in the wilderness, and why does Israel’s story matter for us today? Explore how Israel’s wanderings in the wilderness is a type of the Christian life and how their Rock is indeed our Rock.

Doubt is part of faith. Explore this alongside Abraham in Genesis 15, where he discovers a God not of easy answers, but of unwavering faithfulness. Preacher: The Rev. Dr. Leonard Finn

Who are you? Where do you begin to answer that question? What if the answer wasn’t found in the wins or failures of your life, the roles you play, the expectations put upon you, or the deepest thoughts of your heart? What if the answer was in the story God tells about you and your true family in Scripture? Explore that idea through some Moses’s last words to Israel in Deuteronomy 26. Preacher: The...

What does Ash Wednesday really mean for us in the face of death and sin-and how can God’s mercy transform our brokenness into hope?

To have everything and be owned by it, to think you’ve given everything up, or to have nothing and know it-which heart is truly ready to follow Jesus? This sermon explores the surprising answer through the stories of a rich ruler, the disciples, and a blind beggar.

How does Paul not only proclaim Christ and Him crucified, but become himself a figure or type of the Cross? We explore this theme in the context of Paul’s passionate defense of his ministry against the so-called “super-apostles.

Septua-what? Gesimatide is the traditional Pre-Lent season, where we prepares ourselves to make the upcoming Lent a hopeful, joyful season of pressing deeper into our identity in Christ, rejoicing and repenting as we run the race of faith, knowing our victory is already secure in Christ.

Sometimes you just need to be reminded that the Gospel is simply Christ and His death and resurrection for you. Thanks, Paul!
