Sermon 26 Apr 2020  (Easter 3)

Fire in your heart by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  These two disciples had doubted Jesus was the Christ because they had seen Him dead.  But on that road to Emmaus, Jesus Himself taught them that He could not have been the Christ if He had not died.  Jesus’ death – the very thing that caused their doubt – was the one thing that, in the end, ignited their faith with Holy Spirit fire!

Sermon 19 Apr 2020  (Easter 2)

Hope, faith, and action by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  Hope is the feeling of expectant desire for something to come to pass.  Christian hope is more, because it is intimately related to faith.  Christian hope is alive and active; Christian faith is the substance of things hoped for; and together they lead us to action that reflects Christ’s sacrifice for us and His presence in us.
