What is the purpose of physical intimacy? Is it an end in and of itself or is it a means to another end? When God created Adam and Eve, His first commandment was for them to be fruitful and multiply. Physical intimacy within the boundaries of marriage is not only a means to bring two persons together as one flesh, but to produce the blessing of children. This week, Fr. Ben Williams shares the fourth installment of our sermon series on creation, marriage, and chastity with a message on the blessing of children.

If half of marriages end in divorce, why get married? What is marriage, anyway, and why do Christians make such a big deal about it? There is much confusion today about the purpose and meaning of marriage. Often reduced to a legal contract between two parties, marriage seems old fashioned and superfluous. Yet, Holy Scripture provides a much greater picture of marriage and human sexuality. This week, Fr. Ben Williams delivers the third installment of our series titled Very Good, on creation, marriage, and chastity with a message about the meaning of marriage.

What is the purpose of gender? Is there an essential difference between male and female? These questions are a stumbling block to many folks today, including Christians. It seems that the world grows more skeptical and cynical when it comes to God’s design for gender. This week, Fr. Ben Williams delivers the second installment of the sermon series, Very Good, which examines creation, marriage, and chastity from a theological perspective. Join us as we discover the goodness of gender.

Is the material world good? Does our existence have any meaning? How we view God’s creation determines how we live life in His creation. This week, Fr. Ben Williams begins a six-part sermon series on creation, marriage, and chastity. We begin by setting the foundation of the goodness of God’s creation. All that God has made is good and has a purpose. Join us as we delve into the most important topics of our moment in history.

How are we to conform to the image of Christ? What characterizes a child of God? We know our efforts do not earn God’s love, but Scripture still calls us to live a life pleasing to God. This week, Mr. Matt Wright explores our lectionary readings and shares with us what he calls a mouthful of be’s. Join us this week as we seek to follow Jesus Christ in every aspect of our lives.

As Jesus moves closer to His crucifixion, His teaching becomes more urgent and even chilling. When asked if only a few will be saved, He teaches about entering by the narrow door. The implication is that only a few make it through. This week, Fr. Ben Williams’ message is an encouragement to remain faithful to Christ through adversity and complacency. Otherwise, we may find ourselves on the outside once the Master shuts the narrow door.

Did Jesus come to bring peace on earth? The angels announced that he did bring peace at his birth. So why does Jesus tell us that he didn’t bring peace, but division in Luke 12:49-56? As we continue to journey with Jesus toward the cross, Fr. Ben Williams shares a message about the great divide the gospel brings between Christians and their closest relations.

Are our possessions good or do they weigh us down? Are they an idol? Do they encumber our discipleship? This week, Fr. Ben Williams shares Jesus’ admonition to sell our possessions and invest in the kingdom of God. Only by downsizing our lives can we make room for Christ and his kingdom.

Do you have what you need? Do you have more than you need? How will you steward your abundance? Our relationship with worldly goods can quickly tell us where our true treasures lie. This week, Fr. Ben Williams walks us through Jesus’ parable of the rich fool, who coveted more wealth to enjoy. As it turns out, there are eternal consequences for how we steward our abundance.

Who are you and what do you do? We are used to such a question because it tells us something about one another in our culture. But our work is not our identity. This week, Fr. Michael Schwandt visits us from Faith Anglican Church in Cordova, Tennessee. In his sermon on Mary and Martha, Fr. Michael challenges us to not let our labor become an idol. Although we are invited into good work, it is never at the expense of sitting at Jesus’ feet.
