Sermon 26 Feb 2020  (Ash Wednesday)

Only what’s done for Christ will last by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  Nothing in this life is permanent.  Only our work for Christ, rebuilding His Church and expanding His Kingdom, will last.  Your free will is the greatest gift you have to offer, and it is given to that which you love most.

Sermon 23 Feb 2020  (Last Sunday after Epiphany)

God works His way by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  God called Moses and 73 other leaders apart, then Moses and Joshua up higher, and finally Moses alone to the mountain top.  God was delivering a vision, but His actions were not what the people expected … so they went their own way.

Sermon 16 Feb 2020  (6^th Sunday after Epiphany)

Choices have consequences by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  Every day we make choices.  All choices have consequences.  Being a disciple of Jesus is all about choices and their consequences.  What is the difference between adults and infants, between “people who live by the Spirit” and “people who are still worldly”, in terms of the choices they make?

Sermon 09 Feb 2020  (5^th Sunday after Epiphany)

Let the Light out of the box! by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  “My people seem eager” even to the point of fasting … but the purpose of fasting is to achieve His desires, not ours.  We are the salt of the earth; but if we look and taste and act just like the world we are no longer salt, only dust.  We are the light of the world because we carry the Light of Christ; but light is worthless if it is sealed inside a box.  Carry His Light outside the Sunday Mass box!

Sermon 02 Feb 2020  (4^th Sunday after Epiphany)

Here’s what God has done; what will you do? by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  The Lord has a case against His people.  He has done great and marvelous things for us, yet we consider His requirements burdensome to us.  But what does He require?  Are His rewards not enough for us?
