Sermon 09 October 2022 (Proper 23)

No Questions Asked by Dcn. Joshua Bautista, Paris, France

Simple Summary:  There are times when God points rain in our direction, and other times when God points us in the direction of the bath. We need to be sensitive to our Guide, the Holy Spirit: He knows when it’s time to “Be still” and when it’s time to “Go”.

Lectionary: 2 Kings 5:8-15; Psalm 111; 2 Timothy 2:8-15; Luke 17:11-19

It’s not about you … or me

Sermon 02 October 2022 (Proper 22)

It’s not about you … or me by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.” We love to quote these verses, and rightly so. God’s prophetic Word, God’s vision, will come true. Write it down so you don’t forget it; write it down so it may be communicated accurately to all His people. The question is: whose revelation did you write down? Whose revelation are you running with? Is it His … or is it yours?

Lectionary: Habakkuk 1:12-2:4; Psalm 37:1-18; 2 Timothy 1:1-10; Luke 17:5-10

Referenced Scriptures: Psalm 75:6-7; Matthew 5:5; Luke 17:3-4; Hebrews 11:6; Romans 8:28

A babe, or a royal priesthood?

Sermon 25 September 2022 (Anniversary of Bp. Elmer Belmonte’s consecration)

A babe, or a royal priesthood? by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  Do you yearn to be in the presence of the Lord? Not for Him to be in you, but for you to be in His presence, in the place where He “dwells”? We too often want Him to come and live with us, but He desires for us to live with Him, to come into His kingdom. Have we matured enough to give ourselves to Him … or are we still hanging on to who we’ve been?

Lectionary: Genesis 28:10-17; Psalm 84; 1 Peter 2:1-5, 9-10; Matthew 21:12-16

Referenced Scriptures: Matthew 6:25-26; John 15:5-7; Joshua 5:13-15; John 15:18-20; 1 Peter 1:23; John 3:3; 1 Corinthians 3:1-3; Galatians 5:22-24; Ephesians 2:19-22; Hebrews 5:12-14

Intercession, repentance, restoration, and service

11 Sunday Sep 2022

Sermon 11 September 2022 (Proper 19)

Intercession, repentance, restoration, and service by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  Moses intercedes for God’s people after God reveals the need; David confesses his grievous sins and obtains mercy; Paul reminds himself and others of his sinful past to show the depth of God’s mercy; then Jesus makes sense of it all in His parable of the lost sheep. What sort of God would do this? “There is nothing that unbelievers and all people are so amazed at as when we [Christians] are merciful.” – John Chrysostom (344-407).

Lectionary: Exodus 32:7-14; Psalm 51:1-19; 1 Timothy 1:12-17; Luke 15:1-10

Referenced Scriptures: Exodus 32:1; Matthew 11:29-30; Luke 13:6-9; Job 16:21; Exodus 32:32; 2 Samuel 12:1-15; Matthew 5:7; John 13:10; John 14:2

What in the world is going on?

Sermon 04 September 2022 (Proper 18)

What in the world is going on? by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  Yesterday was the March for Life UK. It was all about choice – but not the choice blared out by the pro-abortion protestors. God has always given man a choice, and man has most often chosen poorly.

The Bible is God’s story. The early Church understood Jesus as the primary subject of the story, and the Church as the object that Jesus works in and through. Somewhere over the centuries this story was lost, and now the individual believer is the subject of the story: Jesus is on the outside awaiting an invitation to come into the heart. This has led to many errors in the Church, but God is doing a mighty work behind the scenes to bring correction. He is offering a new choice to His people, doing a work in our day that you won’t believe!

(I am indebted to the book “Jesus cropped from the picture” by Don Allsman, published by The Urban Ministry Institute, 2009, for many of the themes in this sermon.)

Lectionary: Deuteronomy 30:15-20; Psalm 139:1-16; Philemon 1:4-16; Luke 14:26-33

Are you weary?

Sermon 28 August 2022 (Proper 17)

Are you weary? by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  Are you tired? What is wearing you out? Perhaps you’re spending your energy on the wrong things. The Christian life is not about getting what you want, or getting what you think you deserve. So what is it about?

Lectionary: Proverbs 25:6-12; Psalm 112; Hebrews 13:1-8; Luke 14:1,7-14

Referenced Scriptures: Matthew 18:15-17; Acts 17:28; John 1:5; Job 7:1; 2 Corinthians 5:14; Luke 6:38; Matthew 11:29

Whoever confesses Christ before men

Sermon 21 August 2022 (Proper 16)

Whoever confesses Christ before men by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.” But this does not mean simply admitting you go to church, or saying that you are a Christian. It means so much more, and especially in these evil and divisive times.

Lectionary: Jeremiah 23:23-29; Psalm 82; Hebrews 12:1-6; Luke 12:49-56

Referenced Scriptures: Luke 12:49-56; Matthew 10:16-39; Acts 7:51-53

Wheat or chaff? His fire is burning

Sermon 14 August 2022 (Proper 15)

Wheat or chaff? His fire is burning by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  ‘Let the prophet who has a dream recount the dream, but let the one who has My word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?’ declares the Lord. That’s a somewhat different take on the concept of the wheat and the tares. Then He says, ‘Is not My word like fire‘. And then Jesus declares, “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!” This is worth taking a deeper look!

Lectionary: Jeremiah 23:23-29; Psalm 82; Hebrews 12:1-6; Luke 12:49-56

Referenced Scriptures: Jeremiah 23:16-22; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Titus 3:10-11; Matthew 3:11-12; Zechariah 13:7-9; Luke 24:32; 2 Peter 1:16

How’s your tent?

07 Sunday Aug 2022

Posted by Fr Columcille in Homily, Scripture

≈ Leave a comment

Sermon 07 August 2022 (Feast of Transfiguration)

How’s your tent? by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  Peter responded to the Transfiguration of Jesus with, “Let us put up three tents….” It was a very human response to a very beyond-human experience. We can discern some deeper meaning if we look at Jesus’ remarks which were the precursors to this moment. And what’s with the tents?

Lectionary: Exodus 34:29-35; Psalm 99:1-9; 2 Peter 1:13-21; Luke 9:28-36

Referenced Scriptures: Luke 9:23-27; Matthew 22:32; Hebrews 12:1-2; Matthew 17:9; Mark 9:9; Acts 1:8; Luke 2:19; 1 Corinthians 6:19; John 14:2
