The Feast of Pentecost.Bishop Jeff Mello delivers a sermon that speaks directly to our fear, our doubt, and our deepest longings for purpose. He reminds us that the Spirit comes not as a reward, but as an intervention—to break us free from fear and send us into the world with boldness and love. Whether you're seeking hope, courage, or just trying to find your place in the Church, this message is for you.
The Seventh Sunday of Easter (Youth Sunday). Eddie Harrison takes the pulpit to reflect on a lifetime at St. Mark's—and what it truly means to belong.

The Seventh Sunday of Easter (Youth Sunday). Henry Hladick reflects on 14 years at St. Mark's—and how the church became his anchor during the most painful moment of his life. It's a message about friendship, faith, and what it truly means to show up for one another.
The Sixth Sunday of Easter. The Rev. John Kennedy takes us deep into a curious Easter gospel that feels more like Lent than Resurrection Sunday. Why does Jesus ask a man if he wants to be healed—and why doesn't the man seem to answer? What happens when healing comes, but gratitude and transformation don't follow? With wit, wisdom, and a touch of holy disruption, Fr. John explores what it means to truly desire the new life Christ offers.
The Fifth Sunday of Easter. How do we find our place in a world that feels both chaotic and beautiful? In this stirring reflection, Rev. Elizabeth invites us to consider the practice of praise—not as a shallow response to life's highs, but as a radical, grounding act in the midst of mystery, loss, and renewal. Drawing wisdom from Psalm 148, she explores how creation itself models a way of living in harmony with God's vision for the world.
In this deeply moving and delightfully humorous Mother's Day sermon, explore the profound interconnectedness of humanity through the lens of maternal love, shared memory, and sacred community.

This is a message about who we are, how we're knit together, and why community—especially one rooted in love—is more vital than ever.The Fourth Sunday of Easter
The Third Sunday of Easter. In this powerful and heartfelt sermon, The Rev. John Kennedy reflects on the gospel that shaped his own priesthood and was chosen for Pope Francis' funeral. Drawing moving parallels between the lives of Simon Peter and Pope Francis, he explores the true heart of discipleship: a deep love for Jesus, compassion for the marginalized, and the courage to give all for the sake of the gospel.
The Second Sunday of Easter. The Rev. Elizabeth Garnsey explores the story of Thomas not as a tale of doubt, but of longing, honesty, and transformation. See how Jesus meets each of us in our rawest places — not with judgment, but with peace, forgiveness, and love. Watch to discover how the resurrection isn't just a past event, but an ongoing invitation to new life.
Easter Day. Explore how the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ shattered every human expectation — and how Jesus continues to pull us out of the boxes that confine us today. Full of energy, hope, and real-life connection, this sermon invites you to experience the risen Christ in a radically new way.
The Great Vigil of Easter. If you've ever wrestled with doubt, darkness, or the limits of human possibility, this sermon will speak to you. Because sometimes, only the impossible will do. The Rev. John Kennedy takes us from the darkness of the cosmos to the impossible hope of the Resurrection with a cosmic, cultural, and deeply personal exploration of despair, death—and the miracle that changes everything.
On Good Friday, we're confronted with a question that echoes through time: Which kingdom do we serve—the kingdom of domination or the kingdom of self-giving love?In this powerful and moving sermon, The Rev. Elizabeth Garnsey draws us into the cosmic clash between Caesar and Christ, between force and truth, between the love of power and the power of love. As we stand at the foot of the cross, we are invited to wrestle with our own allegiances and see the world—and ourselves—through Jesus' eyes.
Maundy Thursday. What could Saint Peter and Friedrich Nietzsche possibly have in common? In this powerful and thought-provoking Maundy Thursday sermon, The Rev. John Kennedy explores the deep scandal and radical love at the heart of Jesus' shocking act of foot washing—and why it offended both Peter and Nietzsche in their own ways. With insight, wit, and piercing clarity, this message invites us to grapple with the meaning of humility, power, and the way of Christ in a world driven by dominance.
The Fifth Sunday in Lent. What happens when love goes beyond boundaries—beyond reason—and becomes scandalously beautiful? In this powerful and provocative reflection, we explore a moment of biblical PDA—a public display of devotion so intimate, so sensory, and so wild in love that it leaves the room breathless. Join Fr. Peter Walsh in unpacking Mary's radical act of love, the sensuality of spiritual intimacy, and what it means to love like God: prodigal, embodied, and unafraid. You may never look at divine love the same way again.
The Fourth Sunday in Lent. Discover the heart of God's extravagant love. Through Jesus' greatest parable, we explore a love that is reckless, lavish, and transformative—a love that welcomes us home, no matter where we've been. Are we the wayward younger son or the resentful elder brother? Or is this story really about the boundless grace of God?
The Third Sunday in Lent. In the midst of disasters, how many times have we heard people say, "It's all part of God's plan" or ask, "Where was God?" What if God has nothing to do with the tragedies that occur? Learn how we can face the grief and death of this world and discover what God's plan for our lives really is.
The Second Sunday in Lent. Explore the depth of Jesus' emotional resilience—his boldness and tenderness, his strength and sorrow.
