When Jesus prays to God the Father for all who believe in him to “be one even as we are one,” what does this look like in a world where there are thousands of Christian denominations? Rev. Melissa explores what Jesus means by this kind of unity. It is not merely organizational, nor does it rest on our own efforts, but stems from being in Christ and reflecting the perfect communion of the Trinity. As we draw closer to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we begin to reflect that love to one another. This unity, though often messy and imperfect, is a powerful witness to the world of God's love and transformative power.

Whether you were raised in a Christian environment or not, you probably have at least some familiarity with Psalm 23, which is often titled “The Lord is My Shepherd.” What does that mean for the Lord to be our shepherd? On this Good Shepherd Sunday, Bishop Alan share about what exactly it means for the Lord to be the True Good Shepherd.

"Jesus the True Shepherd," Eastertide 2025, John 10:1-21, The Rt. Rev. Alan Hawkins.

How does an enemy become a brother? In this week’s sermon, we hear about Saul’s conversion from the chief interrogator and prosecutor of followers of Christ, to Jesus calling him by name as a chosen instrument to bring the gospel to the nations. We also learn about Jesus’s calling on Ananias to go and minister to Saul—a man who had a direct order to arrest anyone following Jesus. Two men called by God, whose obedience and faith in this moment brought the good news of salvation to the ends of the earth for generations to come.

"Called By Name," Eastertide 2025, Acts 9:1-19, The Rev. Zach Croonquist.

In this week’s sermon, we hear about the story of the apostle Thomas as he moves from grief and doubt in the aftermath of the crucifixion of Jesus, to restored belief. Thomas’ story shows us that experiencing doubt doesn’t have to be the end of belief—sometimes it’s just the beginning of a stronger faith.

"From Doubt to Belief," Eastertide 2025; John 20:24-29; Rev. Sergio Sapunar.
