Servants of Christ Anglican Church

Hope might not be unique to Christianity, but it's rare to hear other believe systems talk about it. Fr. James Manley talks how Jesus brings us hope: hope that the wrongs will be made right, hope that a just King will one day rule with equity, hope that this corrupted world isn't all there is.

Because our service was an instructed Eucharist, Fr. Michael Mayo brings us a meditation on a portion of Matthew 24. Jesus's return is put off or deterred by the evil and ugliness of this world.

Zacchaeus was a wee little man...and was it really his persistence to see Jesus that paid off? Or was it something - or Someone - else? Fr.

If we're faithful to the apostolic teaching we've been given, the Holy Spirit in us will use us to defend the Gospel from the slippery slope that culture provides to apostacy. Fr. James Manley gives us some practical ways we can stay faithful. If you like what you hea...
