"We wish to see Jesus," said some Greeks to St. Philip. Fr. Jordan tells us today that the sermons and the Eucharist are all about showing you Jesus Christ. It's the goal of the entire Christian life - to see Jesus. We are just like those Greeks, hungry to know Jesus ad to hear from him.

Fr. Rogers relates God's gift of manna for the Israelites to Jesus' feeding of the 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fish. We have on display here our Lord's supreme capacity for anticipating our wants and needs.

Sermon - March 3

Today's Gospel reading about Jesus and the moneychangers in the temple, shows Jesus in a different light than we are used to. It shows He was a very passionate man. Fr.

Sermon - Feb. 25

"Get behind me Satan," our Lord says to Peter in today's Gospel. Peter doesn't want any talk of suffering so he rebukes Jesus. Fr.

Fr. Province gives his last sermon as clergy at St. Laurence and gives thanks for his experience and for the people here. Baptism is a new beginning and we are given a new identity as an adopted child of God. Instead of meeting our end as ashes, we are united with Christ and made heirs with Him.

The Transfiguration is a "shut up and watch" moment, Fr. Jordan tells us today. There are no words to respond to this incredible event. So many of us want to fill moments with talk when sometimes silent prayer is the better response.

Today is World Missions Sunday, a day when we focus on the mission of the Church: that every one of us is called to be proclaimers of the good news. Fr. Province tells us that we are all missionaries. The Gospel today is the Great Commission which will forever stand as the mission of the Church.

St. Mark's Gospel, Fr. Jordan tells us, is very compact and action oriented. Mark is telling us how Jesus taught and lived and died. He wants us to know that Jesus is a man on a mission. Jesus teaches, heals and confronts evil during His very first sermon.

Sermon - Jan. 21

In the Gospel story of Christ calling his first 4 disciples, Fr. Rogers tells us that Christ is claiming his disciples for something else. He finds them and their response is immediate. Their lives are completely redirected.
