Sermon 29 Dec 2019  (1st Sunday after Christmas)

A place for Jesus by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  God prepared places for Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son: a place for His birth in Bethlehem, a place for His early infancy in Egypt, and a place for His formative years as son and apprentice to Joseph in Nazareth.  King David understood the importance of “place” and desired to build a house for the Presence of the Lord, but God had a bigger and better plan.

Referenced Scriptures:  Luke 2:1-5; Matthew 2:11-12; John 1:45-46; 2 Samuel 7:1-16; 2 Corinthians 5:1

Sermon 22 Dec 2019  (4th Sunday of Advent)

Do you have room? by Fr. Dana

Lectionary:  Isaiah 7:10-17; Psalm 80; Romans 1:1-7; Matthew 1:18-25

Referenced Scriptures:  Luke 2:1-7; Luke 1:26-38; John 8:44

Sermon 15 Dec 2019  (3rd Sunday of Advent)

Have I wasted my time serving You, Jesus? by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  While he was still a preborn baby in the womb John the Baptist had identified Jesus by the sound of Mary’s voice.  He visibly saw the Holy Spirit, and confirmed Jesus was the Son of God.  Yet near the end of his life he asks, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”

Sermon 08 Dec 2019  (2nd Sunday of Advent)

The fruit of hope is peace by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  Why do we read Scripture?  Among other reasons, “so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.”  Hope brings patience, and patience brings us peace.

Referenced Scriptures:  1 Corinthians 2:16b

Are you ready to meet Jesus?

Sermon 01 Dec 2019  (1st Sunday of Advent)

Are you ready to meet Jesus? by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  What is the motivation behind everything Jesus does?  It is love.  He is love.  When mankind fell, God did not remain passive – He acted out of love.  Jesus makes salvation available to all, but for us to receive it we cannot remain passive – we must act out of love.  The Gospel describes what happens to those who act, and to those who don’t: “one will be taken and the other left”.

Lectionary:  Isaiah 2:1-5; Psalm 122; Romans 13:10-14; Matthew 24:37-44

Referenced Scriptures:  Psalm 145:14-15; Psalm 18:48; John 3:16; Daniel 2:27-45; Matthew 21:42-44; Isaiah 61:1-4; 1 Corinthians 3:9-15
