Grace Anglican Sermons

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Mark 10 (in which a young man asks Jesus about eternal life) and Hebrews 4 (in which the word of God is likened to a sharp sword). When the law of God splits us open, the Gospel of Christ raises us to new life.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Genesis 2 (the creation of marriage) and Mark 10 (Jesus teaching on divorce). A marriage is meant to be between one man and one woman for life in order to point to Christ's faithfulness to his church.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on the book of Esther, which prefigures the intercession of Jesus Christ: a member of the royal family standing between the people and a judgmental king. Jesus stands for sinners like us.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Mark 9, in which the disciples, hearing again about Christ's death and resurrection, are afraid to ask Jesus what he means. There is Good News, though: it is to the misunderstanding and the sinful that Jesus comes as savior.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on James 3, in which the apostle reminds Christians that their tongues, though small, can do great damage. We can tame our tongues only through the constant reminder that repentance leads to new life in Christ.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on James 2, in which he tells Christians that faith, if it is not accompanied by works, is dead. There is Good News here: God's gift of saving faith is shot through with his power and Holy Spirit and will assuredly flower into good works.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Mark 7, in which Jesus describes what really makes a person unclean. It is only by the imputed righteousness of Christ that sinners can be truly clean.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Ephesians 5, in which Paul calls on Christians to be wise: to follow the law and to avoid toxic sins. Such obedience is the result of a heart reoriented to Christ.

The Rev. Jacob Davis preaches a sermon on Ephesians 4, in which Paul exalts Christians to live lives characterized by love. How is such a thing possible? By the example and finished work of Jesus Christ.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Exodus 16, which the Israelites grumble about their hunger, and John 6, in which Jesus urges the people not to work for food that won't satisfy. Only Jesus has all we need, and only Jesus gives it to us by grace through faith.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on 2 Kings 2, in which prophetic leadership is passed from Elijah to Elisha. Both prophets point us to Jesus because it is only Jesus who can save.

The Rev. Jacob Davis preaches a sermon on Mark 6, in which Jesus takes the disciples away into a desolate place but then feeds a crowd of 5,000. Jesus is our shepherd, we are his lost sheep. He feeds us with his own body and blood in order to rescue us.

The Rev. Jacob Davis preaches a sermon on Mark 6, in which Jesus sends his disciples out on a preaching mission, charging them to take almost nothing with them. Jesus himself is all we need.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on 1 Samuel 8, in which Israel asks Samuel for a king, and Mark 3, in which Jesus describes a sin that cannot be forgiven. Jesus is the only king, and he is the King who saves.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Mark 2, in which Jesus teaches on the Sabbath. The Sabbath law is a teacher, a gift, and an arrow, pointing to Christ the savior.

On Trinity Sunday, the Rev. Nick Lannon shares two pieces of Good News: the entire Scripture is God's word and trustworthy, and Jesus' sacrificial act is glorious, not monstrous: it's God taking his wrath back onto himself.
