Pentecost Sermon—June 8, 2025 08.06.2025 18:35

Jesus teaches on the Holy Spirit in the Gospel of John, which associates the feast of Pentecost with the giving of the law on Sinai and the feast of Booths, which commemorates the provision God makes for his people Israel in the wilderness. Fr. Jeff traces out these interconnected symbolisms and what they have to do with the founding of the church.

Easter 6 Sermon—May 25, 2025 25.05.2025 17:08

Fr. Jeff discusses what the Bible means by "peace" in contrast to what the world usually thinks of by this concept. Jesus promises peace to his disciples, which he says will come with the Holy Spirit, whom he also promises. We look forward to the giving of the Holy Spirit and the peace of Christ next week at Pentecost.
