Trinity 14 – 2025

St. Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist Have you ever thought about the politics that were present among the disciples of Jesus? I’m not referring just to the way in which they related to each other. I mean the disciples’ involvement in the secular politics of the day, in that corner of the Roman Empire in which…

Trinity 12 – 2025

Mark 7:31-37 During his earthly ministry, Jesus performed many miracles of physical healing. A common feature in these miracles was that Jesus spoke healing into the person who was sick or disabled. Usually this speaking was accompanied by his laying his hands on the person, but not always. In the case of the servant of…

Ephesians 2:1-10 Today’s lesson from St. Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians is filled with contrasts.

So, for example, he tells…

Trinity 10
Feast Day of
St. Bartholomew
– 2025

St. Bartholomew – John 1:43-51 “Seeing is believing.” “What you see is what you get.” These commonly-expressed sentiments illustrate how much value we tend to put on the ability to see things, with our eyes, in our determination of what is true and what is real.

Trinity 7 – 2025

Genesis 2:7-17 It is difficult for us to imagine what it would have been like to live in the Garden of Eden.

Trinity 6 – 2025

Exodus 20:1-17 The text of the Ten Commandments that we heard read a few minutes ago, from the Book of Exodus, included the original and full wording of the Third Commandment as follows: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day…

Trinity 5 – 2025

1 Corinthians 1:18-25 “For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom.” There is a natural human inclination toward being religious or spiritual. But this natural kind of religiosity or spirituality – among those whose faith and piety have not been shaped by the divinely-revealed Christian gospel – takes more than one form. In…

Trinity 4 – 2025

Genesis 50:15-21 In the movie “The Godfather, Part 2,” the mafia boss Michael Corleone and his brother Fredo had a serious falling out, due to Fredo having taken sides with a competitor crime family, against his brother.
