Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost August 30, 2026 Cross Comes Before Crown Sermon based on Romans 8:18-25 https://stpeterchurchmodesto.org/
The prophet Jeremiah speaks of the incurable wound of his suffering yet finds in God's words the delight of his heart. When Peter doesn't grasp Jesus' words about suffering, Jesus tells the disciples they will find their lives in losing them. Such sacrificial love is described by Paul when he urges us to associate with the lowly and not repay evil with evil. In worship we gather as a community that we might offer ourselves for the sake of our suffering world.Scripture Readings: Jeremiah 15:15-21; Romans 12:9-21; Matthew 16:21-28
On this Sunday with baptisms, we remember that we are cross-bearers in this world. Fr. David Trautman brings us the word. If you like what you hear, we hope you'll join us in person if you're in the area. Learn more about us at https://www.servantsanglican.org/

Readings for this SundayExodus 3:1-15Psalm 105:1-6, 23-26, 45cRomans 12:9-21Matthew 16:21-28
In Isaiah the people are advised to look to their spiritual ancestors as the rock from which they were hewn. Jesus declares that the church will be built on the rock of Peter's bold confession of faith. God's word of reconciliation and mercy are keys to the church's mission. Paul urges us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, using our individual gifts to build up the body of Christ. From the table we go forth to offer our spiritual worship through word and deed.Scripture Readings: Isaiah 51:1-6; Romans 12:1-8; Matthew 16:13-20

Introduction In Isaiah we hear that God's house shall be a house of prayer for all people and that God will gather the outcasts of Israel. The Canaanite woman in today's gospel is a Gentile, an outsider, who is unflinching in her request that Jesus heal her daughter. As Jesus commends her bold faith, how might our church extend its mission to those on the margins of society? In our gathering around word and meal we receive strength to be signs of comfort, healing, and justice for those in need. Isaiah 56:1, 6-8, Psalm 67, and Matthew 15:21-28
Who is Jesus? Fr. David Trautman walks us through the many things we understand Jesus to be, but points us to Jesus as Messiah, King & Lord - and invites us all to place our trust in Him.If you like what you hear, we hope you'll join us in person if you're in the area.

A sermon by the Rev. Canon George Maxwell on the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (August 9, 2026) at the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta
In today's gospel Jesus offers everyday images that reveal to us the reign of God: a tree that becomes a sheltering home, yeast that penetrates and expands, a treasured pearl, a net that gains a great catch. Even as we seek the riches of God's reign, the great surprise is that God's grace finds us first!Scripture Readings: Romans 8:26-39 ;Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52
Faith requires action. It's not until you can get out of the boat and meet Jesus on the water that you can truly say you have faith. Our new pastoral resident Dcn. Ralph Roberts invites us to take the risk in trusting Jesus with him. If you like what you hear, we hope you'll join us in person if you're in the area.

In today's first reading God invites all who are hungry or thirsty to receive food and drink without cost. Jesus feeds the hungry multitude and reveals the abundance of God. At the eucharistic table we remember all who are hungry or poor in our world today. As we share the bread of life, we are sent forth to give ourselves away as bread for the hungry.Scripture Readings: Isaiah 55:1-5; Psalm 145:8-21; Matthew 14:13-21

Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Cody Sanders unpack Peter's confession and explore what testimony means for the pulpit. The hosts debate the ambiguous "rock" in Jesus's response and connect it to public confession. They turn to Exodus 1 and celebrate the disobedient women who save Moses' life. Shiphrah and Puah's story sparks a conversation about how theologians across history have judged their lie to Pharaoh. The team also discusses Psalm 138 as a formational prayer and Romans 12's call to live sacrificially.
Cody Sanders, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner dig into Jesus and the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:21-28. They explore her bold persistence and how she challenges Jesus to expand his mission. The hosts unpack what her story teaches about faith, humility, and changing your mind. They also cover Isaiah 56's promise of salvation for all nations, Joseph's reconciliation with his brothers in Genesis 45, Psalm 67's blessing, and Paul's declaration of God's irrevocable mercy in Romans 11. This episode offers preachers fresh angles for the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost, Year A.
Matt Skinner, Cody Sanders, and Karoline Lewis dig into the texts for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (August 9, 2026). The team explores Peter's attempt to walk on water in Matthew 14:22-33 and discusses Jesus's compassionate rebuke, "you of little faith." They turn to Elijah's encounter with God in the sound of sheer silence in 1 Kings 19:9-18, and consider Genesis 37's story of Joseph's ornamented robe through a genderqueer lens. The hosts also unpack Psalm 85's vision of a world transformed by forgiveness and wrestle with Romans 10's most-quoted (and most misused) verses.
Jesus feeds a massive crowd in Matthew 14, and the hosts show how this act challenges imperial power. They unpack splagchnizomai, the Greek word for gut-level compassion.They trace Isaiah 55's invitation to abundant life and link it to food insecurity today. Jacob wrestles God at the Jabbok in Genesis 32 and walks away blessed and limping. Romans 9 launches a three-week reckoning with Paul's anguish over Israel. The hosts warn against supersessionist theology and anti-Semitism in the pulpit. This episode delivers sharp insight on compassion, provision, and the character of God.
