Trinity Talks

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to come alive when they are helping others? Serving isn't just another task on a to-do list or a religious obligation. Instead, it is a key part of our spiritual DNA. We were created in the image of a self-giving God, and we find our true purpose when we live and love like Jesus. We dive into two primary reasons why we serve: first, because God has "hard...

What does love look like when life becomes complicated? This sermon reflects on the final Sunday of Advent and the story of Joseph in Matthew chapter one.

In this sermon from Isaiah 1, we’re reminded that God looks beyond our songs, rituals, and outward devotion to the true condition of our hearts.

Ever lose your keys or wallet? Fr. Eric calls it “the gift of misplacement”. But he reminds us that before something can be found, it must first be recognized as lost.

The Pharisee looked righteous but missed God; the tax collector was broken yet found grace. The m...

Why did Jesus choose to spend time with tax collectors and sinners instead of the religious elite? In Luke 15, we find a powerful answer.
