A new podcast for those at Ascension and beyond, featuring happening at our church and some reflection.

There are times we work with the wind, and times we work against it....what a difference it makes; so too, our experience may be with God.  This sermon may help explore this idea more fully.

Some areas of interest and points of relation..."Free lunch, compassion, and being down by the world" will help us understand the scriptures as they relate to the life we live.

The parable of the sower is likened to the beginning of the Tale of Two Cities, can we hear a call to examine how to sow seeds well?

This familiar phrase from the Gospel, “Come to me, all you that are weary" may be particularly poignant to our current experience of the Kingdom of God.

The repetition of the word welcome in the last part of Matthew 10 is notable; Fr. Paul explores our calling in welcoming others and how we may use the collective imagination to find new ways to extend welcome during the pandemic.

The third Sunday after Pentecost includes a reading from the Gospel of Matthew wherein Jesus says he comes not to bring peace, but a sword.  What does this mean for us as followers of Jesus today?
