    Demystifying the Trinity - Part 2

    Do you ever feel like our affirmation of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is hard to grasp? Confusing? Maybe not even necessary? St. George's former Senior Associate Rector and author Tim Jones has explored such questions for decades. He has made some exciting discoveries about how much difference this ancient Christian belief can make, bringing to our praying a new vitality. And how it answers our deepest questions about our being loved. Guest teacher the Rev. Timothy Jones joined us for this 3-part teaching in January 2025.

    The thing is, prayer doesn't have to be perfect to be effective. In fact, a prayer muttered with all our fears and short-sighted demands — and even selfish requests — affects life powerfully. Sermon from the 8:45am service on 10/16/22.

    Martin Odidi: Persistent Prayer of Faith

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 17, 2022 17:59


    Luke 18:1-8 Prayer is like a walking exercise. It is a spiritual exercise. The more you pray daily, the stronger you become. Persistent praying in faith on a particular subject produces an eventual expected result — just like the persistent widow in the gospel reading. Prayer is simply talking to God like a child would with his parents. Pray in a simple, innocent, and honest way. Not doubtful, but persistent, until the expected result is achieved, or until you are appeased appropriately. This is how our prayer relationship with God is supposed to be. Sermon from The Table on 10/16/22.

    Sequence Hymn • 671 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound Psalm 137 1 By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept, * when we remembered you, O Zion. 2 As for our harps, we hung them up * on the trees in the midst of that land. 3 For those who led us away captive asked us for a song, and our oppressors called for mirth: * "Sing us one of the songs of Zion." 4 How shall we sing the Lord's song * upon an alien soil. 5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, * let my right hand forget its skill. 6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, * if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy. 7 Remember the day of Jerusalem, O Lord, against the people of Edom, * who said, "Down with it! down with it! even to the ground!" 8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, * happy the one who pays you back for what you have done to us! 9 Happy shall he be who takes your little ones, * and dashes them against the rock!

    The question each one of us most longs to ask is “Can you see the real me?” We want to be known as we are. Simultaneously, that same question frightens us more than almost any other. Vulnerability is a risk, but depth of relationship demands it. Sermon from 8/28/22.

    Sarah Puryear: Three Myths About God's Call

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 22, 2022 19:06


    The passage about Jeremiah's call to ministry is one of many narratives in the Bible known as “call stories.” If you read a sampling of them – say the call of Abraham, or Moses, Joshua, Samuel, Jonah, Isaiah, Mary, Paul (and the list goes on), you'll notice that each of these stories is incredibly unique. God tailors his call to each person. We may not get quite as dramatic a call story as those recorded in the Bible; we might not come across a burning bush in the desert or have the angel Gabriel appear to us. But each of us in our own way has a unique part to play in God's story, whether we are laypeople or clergy, long time Christians or new ones, old or young. In talking with people about their sense of call, I've come across three common myths about God's call on our lives – three ways in which we misunderstand the way God's call works. In contrast to these myths, Jeremiah's call story reveals a truer, fuller picture of how and why God extends a call to us. Sermon from 8/21/22.

    Jesus tells a parable of a rich man whom God calls a fool. The man is a fool because he has missed the meaning of life. He is clueless as to what life is really about, wrongly thinking that life consists in the abundance of possessions. As Christians we believe that our “life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). Is this true for you? We must all ask the question, “What does my life truly consist of?” Sermon from 7/31/22.

    Based on the text from Colossians 1:15-28. The 'thrones, dominions, rulers, and powers' mentioned in Colossians 1:16, may be read as Satan's fallen angels camouflaging as light in the invisible realm to deceive those seeking God's light outside of Christ and the Church. Paul emphasized that Jesus is the only true God, who has saved us from these dark forces and brought us into the true light of his kingdom. Sermon from 7/17/22 at The Table.
