“You do not need to be afraid of yourself. You are free to question and explore. You deserve a healthy relationship with your body and you are worthy of the time, space and resources it takes to create that relationship. Pleasure is not a sin. Delight and pleasure are a beautiful part of being alive…. Our bodies are for honoring, not policing. We are queer followers of a queer Christ. And thank God for that.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 25, 2024 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: Proverbs 28:20-25, Psalm 50:1-5 and Mark 7:1-15.

Msgr. McCarron's Homily for the 33rd Sunday In Ordinary Time 2023, Readings: Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31, Psalm 128, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6, Matthew 25:14-30 Intro/Outro music from "Together We Can" from www.epidemicsound.com

Readings: Proverbs 31:10–13, 19–20, 30–31 Psalm 128:1–5 1 Thessalonians 5:1–6 Matthew 25:14–30 The day of the Lord is coming, Paul warns in today's Epistle. What matters isn't the time or the season, but what the Lord finds us doing with the new life, the graces He has given to us. This is at the heart of Jesus' parable in today's Gospel. Jesus is the Master. Having died, risen, and ascended into heaven, He appears to have gone away for a long time. By our Baptism, He has entrusted to each of us a portion of His “possessions,” a share in His divine life (see 2 Peter 1:4). He has given us talents and responsibilities, according to the measure of our faith (see Romans 12:3, 8). We are to be like the worthy wife in today's First Reading and the faithful man we sing of in today's Psalm. Like them, we should walk in the “fear of the Lord”—in reverence, awe, and thanksgiving for His marvelous gifts. This is the beginning of wisdom (see Acts 9:31; Proverbs 1:7). This is not the “fear” of the useless servant in today's parable. His is the fear of a slave cowering before a cruel master, the fear of one who refuses the relationship that God calls us to. God has called us to be trusted servants, fellow workers (see 1 Corinthians 3:9), using our talents to serve one another and His kingdom as good stewards of His grace (see 1 Peter 4:10). In this, we each have a different part to play. Though the good servants in today's parable were given different numbers of talents, each “doubled” what he was given. And each earned the same reward for his faithfulness—greater responsibilities and a share of the Master's joy. So let us resolve again in this Eucharist to make much of what we've been given, to do all for the glory of God (see 1 Corinthians 10:31). That we, too, may approach our Master with confidence and love when He comes to settle accounts.

19 June 2022 | Revd Ian Pallent | Father's Day: Trust is a Must - Don't let it Rust! Readings: Proverbs 3 :5-12 and Matthew 7:7-11

12 June 2022 - Trinty Sunday - In today's world, truth has become personalized and relative. It is no longer acceptable to speak of “the truth” but can say only “my truth” and “your truth.” In John's Gospel, Jesus often speaks of “the truth" – which is a correct understanding of who He is, along with right living (doing the truth). Both are necessary to maintain that gift of divine life that we share with the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit.

Each week, we provide questions based on the sermon. These questions are to encourage you to connect the scriptures to your own life and to invite you to grow deeper in your relationships with others at Faith by discussing the questions together. Readings: Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31, John 16:12-15. Sermon: God exists as relationships, and so do we. Questions: 1) What relationships most shape who you are? 2) In what ways do those relationships make you vulnerable? In what ways do those relationships give you life? 3) In what ways has your life been enriched by being part of a national and international community of Christians? 4) Pastor Ben distinguishes between harm and pain. Harm is that which destroysus, pain is the warning signal that we are being harmed. When have you ignored pain in a relationship, but let the harm continue? When have you faced pain in a relationship to heal the harm that was being done?

The Holy Trinity   Text: John 8:48-59   Theme: "How Do You Know God?"   Readings: Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31, Acts 2:14a, 22-36, John 8:48-59   Rev. Daniel Redhage   Trinity Lutheran Church   The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod   Lowden, Iowa

Readings: Proverbs 8:22–31 Psalms 8:4–9 Romans 5:1–5 John 16:12–15 In today's Liturgy we're swept through time in glorious procession—from before earth and sky were set in place to the coming of the Spirit upon the new creation, the Church. We begin in the heart of the Trinity, as we listen to the testimony of Wisdom in today's First Reading. Eternally begotten, the firstborn of God, He is poured forth from of old in the loving delight of the Father. Through Him, the heavens were established, the foundations of the earth fixed. From before the beginning, He was with the Father as His “Craftsman,” the artisan by Whom all things were made. And He took special delight, He tells us, in the crowning glory of God's handiwork—the human race, the “sons of men.” In today's Psalm, He comes down from heaven, is made a little lower than the angels, comes among us as “the Son of Man” (see Hebrews 2:6–10). All things are put under His feet so that He can restore to humanity the glory for which we were made from the beginning, the glory lost by sin. He tasted death that we might be raised to life in the Trinity, that His name might be made glorious over all the earth. Through the Son, we have gained grace and access in the Spirit to the Father, as Paul boasts in today's Epistle (see Ephesians 2:18). The Spirit, the Love of God, has been poured out into our hearts—a Spirit of adoption, making us children of the Father once more (see Romans 8:14–16). This is the Spirit that Jesus promises in today's Gospel. His Spirit comes as divine gift and anointing (see 1 John 2:27), to guide us to all truth, to show us “the things that are coming,” the things that were meant to be from before all ages—that we will find peace and union in God, share the life of the Trinity, and dwell in God as He dwells in us (see John 14:23; 17:21).

5 Sept 2021 - 16th Sunday after Pentecost - As the Day of Atonement approaches, religious Jews around the world will exchange the greeting “Gmar Chatima Tova", “…may your name be inscribed”, that is may your name be written and sealed in the Book of Life. In the Hebrew calendar, we are currently in the Days of Awe, a time of reflection, repentance, and making amends before the great fast day of Yom Kippur. The purpose of this period is not unlike that of Christian Lent, but the intensity and the outcome are very different. Jewish people hope for a year of blessing if their repentance has been adequate and accepted. Disciples of Jesus understand repentance, coupled with spiritual maturity, to be the way of life that leads to eternal life in the presence of the Lord. Canon Daryl Fenton discusses the great difficulty people today have with spiritual judgement and accountability and explores the practical ways the apostle James offers to ensure one's name is inscribed.

15 Aug 2021 - 12th Sunday After Pentecost - Rev. David Pileggi continues to lead us in contemplating the beautiful, confusing, controversial words of John 6. After the feeding of the 5,000, Jesus invites us to be fed by him. God desires to provide for us in abundance as we encounter his life-giving presence. The best, most Christ-centered place to meet God and have him meet our needs is at the table he sets for us with bread and wine.

16 June 2019 - On Trinity Sunday, Matthew Dalling ask us "Are we joyful or are we grumpy?" The Bible calls us to a life of joy. The paradox is that this life is full of suffering. We all long for deep joy, but when suffering come, we instead close ourselves off. We rather need to confront suffering and understanding the suffering of Jesus. When we consider the suffering he endured for the joy set before him, we can then learn from him and so merge our joy with his. Readings: Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31; Romans 5:1-5; John 16:12-15

19 August 2018 - Rev. David Pileggi reminds us that Jesus promises us -- even in the sinful, broken world we live in -- we can share in the eternal, divine life that the Father gives the Son. This is not just some legal standing. This is about relationship. How are relationships in the Bible cemented? With the sharing of food. Why does Jesus go beyond the language of abiding and clinging on to eating in John 6? Jesus is referencing the rich biblical connection of food and intimate relationship. Readings: Proverbs 9:1-6; Psalm 34:9-14; John 6:51-58

Sermon from Sunday 28/08/16 from St Michael and All Angels Harrow Weald. Readings: Proverbs 25:6-7 and Luke 14:1,7-14

Hide and seek with God is a natural process of creation and mutuality. – Reverend Beverly Gibson Hide and seek is familiar to all of us, a fond memory developed from peek-a-boo. While a childhood game, it also is a process through which we come to know God. In this week's episode, Dean Gibson and Johnny discuss how we metaphorically play hide and seek with God, who also plays hide and seek with us. God’s plan and promise is creative; it is an ever-changing cycle of ebb and flow. Hiding doesn't have to be seen a negative. It's a cyclic process that provides an opportunity to properly plan, grow and reinvent, as individuals and communities. Lastly, the concept of patiently waiting is discussed as the key to the process of gestation and the emergence of ideas and identity. Readings: Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31 Romans 5:1-5 John 16:12-15 In this episode: > David Whyte, poet, and consultant, how hiding can be a positive and create a sense of self-protection > Beverly describes a positive example of “hiding” with a Star Wars reference, Padawan period of training > Trinity – three in one; Holy Spirit as advocate > Johnny’s idea of “Trinity for Dummies.” > Cyclic process of renewal; Opportunities to reinvent > Why Johnny loves Jujitsu and what he learned from flailing on the floor > Rilke – Letters to a Poet – everything is gestation; patience is everything. > In teaching and learning, participation is key. > Hide and seek should be playful, joyful. Play is the best way to learn. > Relationship with God is joyful, be patient. Allow it to gestate, grow and then emerge. Thanks for listening to Pulpit To Pew.

"If Jesus is God, on the night before He died, when Jesus was praying in the garden of Gethsemane, 'Remove this cup from me, yet not what I want but what you want,' who is Jesus praying to? And if Jesus is God, how can he pray, 'Not what I want, but what You want?'" Brendan O'Sullivan-Hale preaches on Trinity Sunday (May 22, 2016).
