Sermon - March 8

Today's Gospel reading is about the woman at the well. It is the longest 1 on 1 conversation that Jesus has with anyone, Fr. Jordan tells us. God goes looking for this woman. He knows us, cares about us and He pursues us. He loves us even when we're not quite ready to love Him.

Sermon - March 1

"How is Lent going?" Fr. Jordan asks. He says it's not too late to start or to get back on track. Jesus asks us to walk this journey with Him, to see what love for God and love for neighbor will develop within us. The message today is to keep going. Going is an act of trust.

Sermon - Feb. 22

On this 1st Sunday of Lent, Fr. Rogers tells us that today's scriptures give us a collision of geographies: the Garden of Eden and the stark desert where Jesus is tempted. Jesus enters the wilderness which Adam and Eve once occupied to begin the work of bringing us home.

Ash Wednesday

In Fr. Jordan's Ash Wednesday sermon, he tells us that Lent is a season to grow in greater love. In Jesus' sermon on the mount, He lays out a method of us to grow in love: fasting, prayer and almsgiving.

Sermon - Feb. 15

On this Transfiguration Sunday, we read that God said, "Listen to Him." So before we do anything for Jesus, we are to listen to Him. Fr. Jordan tells us that today we are celebrating the Grand Opening of one of our new buildings. We built it because we listened to God's command - the Great Commission.

Sermon - Feb. 8

What our Lord sees and notices is, of course, what we should see and notice. In today's Gospel, Fr. Jordan tells us, Jesus sees the crowds and His response is compassion. They are sheep without a shepherd and are vulnerable. This is not a critique of the people but of the leadership.

Sermon - Feb. 2

Fr. Rogers preaches today on the Beatitudes, today's Gospel reading. In the Beatitudes, Jesus goes after the inner workings of our hearts. They are a key for living in reality with Christ, not just living a happy life.

Sermon - Jan. 18

John the Baptist points to Jesus and says "He is greater than I am," says Fr. Jordan. This type of humility is remarkable and all of us are invited to say the same thing.

Sermon - Jan. 11

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of Christ, when we renew our baptismal vows. Fr. Jordan tells us that the vows of Holy Baptism tell us who we are and what our lives as Christians are supposed to be about. What is the purpose of our life? To love the Lord and our neighbor.

Sermon - Jan. 4

Today is Epiphany Sunday, when we remember the wise men who traveled far to worship the Christ child. Fr. Jordan preaches that the Magi remind us that God has come in the person of Jesus Christ for everyone not just a small group of people. In Jesus, God has invited all people into a relationship with Him.

Sermon - Dec. 28

On the First Sunday of Christmas, Fr. Rogers preaches on the Gospel reading, the opening of the Gospel of John. It is very different from the other Gospels that open with the nativity. John calls our attention not to the setting of Christ's birth, but to its meaning. Through Christ's birth, God speaks to us.

Sermon - Christmas Eve

So many of us want to go big at Christmas, Fr. Jordan tells us, but this is the opposite of what God did. Instead, God went small. A poor man, a teenage mother and a baby laid in a manger. God is showing us that humility is what makes Christian lives possible.
