Teddy Stoddard and his teacher Mrs. Tompson

April 24, 2024

by Elizabeth Silance Ballard There is a story many years ago of an elementary teacher. Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at

John 15:9-17, That Your Joy May Be Full

April 24, 2024

by Brent Kercheville I want us to turn our attention to John 15:11 because this is the thesis statement for this paragraph. “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” This is a huge statement. What Jesus

Bearing Fruit in the True Vine (John 15:1-8)

April 16, 2024

By Saul Ciresi One of many areas in which I possess near-total incompetence is gardening. I am not a gardener. But I can mow the lawn, pick berries, and maybe even keep a cactus alive for a bit. After I bought my first house in Windsor, it was time to

A Very Pleasant Surprise – Luke 24:36-49

April 2, 2024

by Rev. Bruce Goettsche Many years ago now there was a program on television called, “Gomer Pyle USMC”. Gomer was a good old country boy who was in the Marines. The story line of the show revolved around the way Gomer drove his Sergeant, Vince Carter crazy. Gomer was a good man but . . . he was

“The True Temple” (John 2:13-25)

February 20, 2024

by Jacob Gerber If we imagined that Jesus would gently ramp into his public ministry with something non-confrontational to please the crowds and (hopefully) to start to win the favor of the authorities, we will be disappointed by the course of action Jesus takes. With the zeal of a Son

A Final ‘Eureka!’ – Mark 9:2-9

February 14, 2024

by  Jo Anne Taylor It was no big deal for the guys to go on a hike. Mountain climbing was something they did together quite often. Sometimes their Teacher would take the whole class, sometimes just a few would go. They wouldn’t be gone long – an afternoon, maybe they’d

6th Sunday in Ordinary Time

January 30, 2024

Jesus Compassionately Curses the Leper ( Mark 1:40-45) The healing is effortless. The healing is perfect. It is instantly effective. And his desire to touch this defiled outcast shows, again, his yearning for a close relationship with sinners. At the end of this sermon, I’m going to seek to show

Biblical Commentary on Mark 1:29-39

January 23, 2024

by Richard Niell Donovan EXEGESIS: MARK 1:29-39. THE CONTEXT It is only the first chapter of the Gospel of Mark, but already Jesus is performing miracles—and dealing with crowds who are clamoring for more miracles—and dealing with disciples who do not understand his ministry. Already he is withdrawing to a

A LESSON ABOUT AUTHORITY (MARK 1:21-28)

January 15, 2024

The teachers of the law didn’t speak with their own authority. They necessarily prefaced their comments with something like “There is a saying that…” or “Rabbi Such-and-Such said…” Even the prophets rightly attributed their pronouncements to “Thus says the Lord…” But Jesus said simply, “I say to you…” Here was

January 8, 2024

Greetings on a sunny afternoon. Fr. Brian was indisposed this week so we were unable to video our weekly chat of ‘The Thought.’ The buck got passed back to me and here I am taking my pulse on how I am feeling in our world at the moment… Continue on

The Fourth Sunday of Easter

This coming week’s Gospel antiphon is “I know my sheep, and mine know me.” Jesus’ voice calls us to follow him as a shepherd not only because of his voice but because of his dedication and willingness to die for us. Some sheep are near to the shepherd. Others roam
