How does evil oppress your voice? Are you able to give voice to the things closest to your heart to the people who matter most to you? More importantly, are you able to express your heart in worship to God?

How does worship illuminate Jesus while we are going through dark times? This week Fr Ryan continues our series on New Wine Worship by looking at Mtt 9:27-31 and Jesus' healing of two blind men.

This week Fr Ryan shows how the wineskin needed for new wine worship needs to include three pieces sown together; the past (tradition), the present (this cultural moment), and the future (eternity in heaven).

In Jesus' teaching on the New Wine He highlights the importance of a New Wineskin, one which will ensure that the New Wine is not lost or wasted. In this sermon Fr Ryan begins talking about the role Tradition plays in the Church as a wineskin.

Reading: Mtt 8:28-34

The way of Jesus, in the face of Leviathan and Behemoth and the storms that they churn.

' Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead'

“You say, ‘If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.’ You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.” —Charles Spurgeon

Taking some time to really consider, what does it mean to be a true follower of Jesus?

Christ the Son of God, the Author of human salvation, the fount and source of all goodness, furnished heavenly medicine, He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick. Dæmons and diseases He sent away with a word, that by these signs, and mighty works, He might show that He was come for the salvation of the human race.

Jesus' tender power fully displayed through faith, a touch, and a word.

Happy Epiphany Church!
