Grace Anglican Sermons

The Rev. Todd Weedman preaches a sermon on Psalm 50, in which God gathers his people and pronounces judgments. There is Good News, though: even in the midst of judgment, God is faithful to save.

On the occasion of Christ the King Sunday, the Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Daniel 7, a vision of a heavenly king, and John 18, in which Jesus stands before Pilate. Jesus is both a magisterial king and a king who hangs on a cross to redeem the world.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon about Hell, taking Daniel 12 as his starting point. As scary as a real Hell is...we do not need to be afraid: Jesus has accomplished our salvation.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on the book of Ruth. Boaz is kinsman redeemer to Ruth, a poor, widowed foreigner. He saves her out of his own grace and mercy. In the same way, Jesus saves you.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Mark 12, in which Jesus summarizes the law: love God, and love your neighbor. This law is holy. The only thing holier, in fact, is the Gospel: Jesus himself.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Hebrews 7, in which Jesus is said to have ended the sacrificial system. His sacrifice for us was once, for all.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Isaiah 53, in which the prophet describes a suffering servant, and Mark 10, in which Jesus claims that his life will be given as a ransom for many. Nothing comes for free...not even your salvation. But that is paid for, in full, by Christ your savior.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Hebrews 4, which describes God's word as a sharp sword, and Mark 10, in which a rich young man asks how to be saved. God's word kills us and then, on account of Jesus, raises us to new and eternal life.

The Rev. Jacob Davis preaches a sermon on Genesis 2, in which Eve is created, and Mark 10, in which Jesus discusses divorce. How is a sinful people to be reconciled to God? Christ, the faithful bridegroom, will never leave nor forsake his bride.

The Rt. Rev. Dr. Steve Breedlove, Bishop of the Diocese of Christ Our Hope, preaches a sermon on the occasion of his parish visit and the celebration of confirmations and receptions in the parish.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Psalm 54 (in which David laments a betrayal), and Mark 9 (in which the disciples argue about who is the greatest). We are all our own worst enemies, rebelling against God and seeking to be in charge. Thankfully, Christ comes for his enemies: sinners.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on James 3, in which the apostle implores Christians not to use their tongues for evil. But how are we to accomplish this? By throwing ourselves back, again and again, on the saving mercies of Christ.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Mark 7, in which Jesus claims that nothing can, by going into a person, defile them. Instead, he insists, we are defiled by our sinful hearts. But there is Good News for sinful hearts: Jesus offers a new creation.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Joshua 24, in which Israel chooses to serve God, and John 6, in which Peter confesses that Jesus has the words of eternal life. When we are revealed to be promise-breakers, we need a savior who always keeps his promises.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Ephesians 5, in which Christians are called to live as wise people. The beginning of true wisdom, though, is the acknowledgement that we are fools, in desperate need of Christ's saving work.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Deuteronomy 8, in which Moses reflects on Israel's wandering, and John 6, in which Jesus again claims to be the bread of life. God brings his people low in order to show them their need for his saving grace.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on 2 Samuel 11, in which Nathan confronts David, and John 6, in which Jesus calls himself the bread of life. The law cannot save you; only Jesus can save, and he has given himself as a perfect sacrifice to do just that.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Mark 6, in which Jesus walks on water. Jesus is here proclaiming to be Almighty God...but more than that, he's claiming to be the God who saves.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Ephesians 2 (in which Paul says that Jesus brings peace both to those who are far off and those who are near) and Mark 6 (in which Jesus regards a crowd as sheep without a shepherd). Everyone is the same: first as sinners in need of redemption, and then as new creations in Christ. There is no "us" and "them."

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Amos 7, in which the prophet warns about God's impending arrival with a plumb line. Only Jesus can measure up to God's standard. The Good News is that he has given his own righteousness to you.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on 1 Samuel 17 (David and Goliath) and Mark 4 (Jesus stills a storm). The real battle for our lives is the one between God's judgment and our souls. Jesus, our savior, places himself between the two, giving us the victory that he earns.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Genesis 3, in which Adam and Eve feel ashamed at their nakedness. Even as he is judging their sin, God promises them that there will be Good News. Jesus' victory is Good News for every one of us who are revealed as sinners.

On Pentecost Sunday, the Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Acts 2, in which the Holy Spirit is unleashed on the disciples, and into the world. They then proclaim the message that will change everything: that you no longer need make a name for yourself; you are made new in Christ.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on John 17, in which Jesus prays for his disciples, asking God to sanctify them. With a holy God, only 100% purity will do. The Good News is that, by Christ's finished work on the cross, we are given God's own purity as our very own.
