All Angels' Church

Dr. Jonathan Tran preached in honor of Absalom Jones.

All Angels Church celebrated the blessed Absalom Jones, who the Episcopal Church commemorates each year during the first week of February. Absalom Jones was ordained as the first black priest in 1802, and spent most of his life and ministry as an abolitionist.

John tells us that God does not condemn us, but sent Jesus to save.

Jono speaks on Jesus clearing the Temple in an announcement of judgment and, as the new Temple, suffering the weight of judgment our sin deserves.

Nate begins our series on the gospel of John focusing on Jesus as the Lamb of God who stands with the oppressed and calls us all to imitate him in this costly way of love.

Joanna speaks on the story of Joseph, the husband of Mary and asks what kind of story does the Gospel tell and what does it have to say about our stories.

Jono reminds us of the words and ministry of John the Baptist showing us things as they really are. We are in need of a savior and, in Christ, we have a savior.

Nate begins the Advent season speaking on Mary, the mother of Jesus, and her example of what it means to believe in God in her statement of faith "Let it be."

On the final Sunday in the church year when we celebrate the "Feast of Christ the King," we stand "at the end of time" - marking the reality that Christ's kingdom is both here and still coming, as we stand with a foot in both this world and the world to come. Nate speaks on why we can therefore think of Christ like the great jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, and his kingship under the watchword: "improvisation."
