This week, Hunter Myers reminds us of the joy that is found in the story of the coming of Christ. The story of the birth of Christ is not about us, but it is for us.

This week, we celebrate the second week of Advent. Dean Peet teaches from Isaiah 40:1-11 and encourages us to remember and believe that God is both great and mighty and full of goodness. As we look to the coming of our Emmanuel, we rest in the promise of both Christ coming near and bringing a kingdom.

This week Canon Patrick teaches from Isaiah 64:1-9 and reminds us that we are not those who wait in vain, but those who wait for the certain return of our Lord Jesus Christ. In this season of Advent marked by a difficult year of uncertainty, how can we wait well?

This week Dean Peet shares with us a picture of the Good Shepherd and encourages us that our love and service is inspired and empowered by Jesus' love and care. Follow Him, for He has shown us the way.

This week, Dean Peet teaches from 1 Thessalonians and encourages us that while many things on earth shift, our hope is laid up for us in heaven, where Jesus is seated and reigning.

This week, Dean Peet teaches from Revelation 7:9-17, and shares a vision of the people of God. How does a picture of God's future Kingdom encourage and direct us today?

Do we bring Jesus our questions? This week Patrick teaches from Matthew 22: 15-46. Jesus welcomes and answers our questions, and He challenges us to not only view Him as a brilliant teacher but also to call Him Lord. Jesus desires to answer not only our questions but to fulfill our greatest need.

What stories do we return to again and again? What stories stir our souls? This week Hunter Myers encourages us that the Christian life is a return to the Gospel of grace as we retell our stories to one another.

This week, Canon Patrick teaches from Philippians 4:1-9. Peace is hard to nail down, unless its source is constant. The great hope we have as believers in Christ is that He has brought an everlasting Kingdom of peace with his death and resurrection. How can we live into this peace in such uncertain times? How can we model relational and circumstantial peace in a year that feels like a continual st...

In Philippians 3:4-14, Paul talks about the treasures of Christ's Kingdom. This week Dean Peet talks about the encouragement available to us in our secure citizenship in the Kingdom of God.

This week, Dean Peet preaches from Philippians 2:1-13. Peet challenges us that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand even in our own hearts and minds. Change can always happen in the Kingdom of God, and our Savior has made a way to righteousness that is always available to His children.

In Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus tells the parable of the generous master. This week Canon Patrick paints a picture of the generosity of our Father. As laborers for the Kingdom, we can trust our Master to deal with our failings with generosity as we labor together. All of us who were last are made first in the Gospel because of the work of Jesus Christ. How can we respond generously in return?

This week, Dean Peet preaches out of Acts and calls us to ask together, "What does it mean for us to be the heart of God for the heart of Charleston?" Just as the muscle of the heart pumps blood to every part of the body, our scattering circulates the Good News of the Gospel. 

This week, Dean Peet discusses Matthew 18:15-20. Matthew 18 is often talked about as the prescription for confronting an offense. How do we orient toward this teaching of Jesus in light of once being lost and now being found by the Good Shepherd? How do we orient toward the divisive social and political climate in light of this posture of humility and loving our neighbor?

Canon Patrick unpacks how the identity of Christ is inseparable from the mission of Christ as seen in the cross. In Matthew 16:21-28, Jesus predicts his own suffering and invites us into his mission. Christ and His cross invites us to turn away from conquest and move toward laying down our lives for others.

Dean Peet preaches on Matthew 16:1-20 this week. Jesus goes to great lengths to stand with conviction amongst a people who needed to be encouraged that their hope is built on solid ground.

This week, Canon Patrick Schlabs preaches from Matthew 14:13-21.

Dean Peet gives the third message in the final sermon of the Undivided series on racial reconciliation. The Gospel invites us to examine the fruit that comes from our hearts as we make our way through these divided times and respond to injustice. 

This week, Canon Patrick preaches from Micah 6:1-8 as part of the Undivided series. God sent the prophet Micah to a people who had become unfaithful in the way they treated the poor and oppressed. In response to their broken worship, God's people offer to adjust their worship, but God continually calls for mercy and not sacrifice. Patrick shows us how worship without mercy is incomplete, and mercy...

Do we say “go away” or “come near” to those who are burdened? In Matthew 11:25-30, Jesus calls those who are heavy laden to Himself and invites them to take on His burden. Dean Peet discusses how it is not only American to lift burdens off of those who are downtrodden and oppressed, it is also Christlike. Jesus has a yoke of righteousness in His kingdom that is perfectly fit for our shoulders.

This week, Dean Peet preaches on the sword of Christ. The sword of Christ cuts into the status quo to bring the His Kingdom. The way of the cross disrupts our false "peace and quiet" of sinful status quo to bring about His righteousness. How will we step into the new life He has prepared for us?

This week Cathedral has a guest teacher, the Reverend Matthew Rivers from St. John's Chapel on Charleston's Eastside. Romans 5:12-19 speaks of the redemption of righteousness offered to us in Christ. We hear the story of God's call to Rev. Rivers and his journey of grace in the Gospel. God is a relational God, and Rev. Rivers challenges us to pursue relationship with one another in grace, just as...

Canon Patrick preaches this week out of Matthew 9:35-10:4. This Sunday marks the first Sunday of Ordinary Time in the Anglican calendar. How do the truths of Advent, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost enable us to embody the story of Jesus? Canon Patrick argues that just as a car without fuel is useless, the church without mission is without purpose. How can we cultivate a heart of compassion and convict...

This week, Cathedral hosts the Rev. Rob Sturdy, the chaplain at the Citadel. Rev. Rob teaches from 1 Peter 5:6-14 and invites us to reflect on how God's grace confirms, strengthens and establishes us to stand for the day at hand. Like we see in the life of the Apostle Peter, past failure, doubt, or discouragement will not keep us from the grace offered to us in Christ Jesus. 

This Pentecost Sunday, Dean Peet teaches from 1 Peter 4:12-19. How does the Holy Spirit enable us to endure suffering? Though suffering is certain, the of Spirit of God is with us every step of the way.
