Saint Paul’s Sermons episodes

  • Christian Love - Very Rev Andrew S Faust
    As Christians we are called to live our neighbor as ourselves. In humility we recognize we too sin and need to repent. Thanks be to God we have Jesus, which had no need to repent, as our advocate with the Father. To love our neighbor is not to affirm everything our neighbor says or does.

  • The Ascension of the Lord, and Mother's Day Prayers - Very Rev Andrew S. Faust

    The Ascension of the Lord Jesus is important as his Resurrection because his Ascension completes the work begun with the Incarnation. Jesus returns to the Father, and in a sense, the Father brings him home restoring the unity of the trinity. We are also praying for our mothers on this day in appreciation for their loving service. "Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ, give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous, and all for your love's sake. Amen"

  • Cranmer's Vision for the Book of Common Prayer: Unified, Understandable, and Reformed - Rev Dcn Bryan Dench

    Archbishop Thomas Cranmer was a visionary walking a difficult path to bring Reformed Christianity to England. Henry VIII if anything remained Roman Catholic while making himself head of the English church, but his appointed Archbishop of Canterbury was solidly and biblically reformed. In developing the prayer book, Cranmer skillfully achieved several goals:

    1. Unify all worship and practice into one "common" prayer book for clergy and laity.

    2. Put it in English (not Latin).

    3. Incorporate solidly reformed doctrine in place of the theology of Rome.

    4. Reinforce belief regularly.

    The work of this brave man, martyred for his faith, gives us a treasured legacy to this day.

  • Joy In Christ Jesus - Rev Dcn Bryan Dench
    During the upper room discourse Jesus tells his followers in a little while they won’t see him, then he says in a little while they will see him. He’s predicting his death followed by his rising again. Understandably they’re baffled. Jesus goes on to assure them of their future joy, the joy in him we who believe can share.

  • Just the Facts - The Resurrection of Jesus: Rev Dcn Bryan Dench

    The Resurrection of Jesus is the key, pivotal fact upon which our faith and assurance rest. As Paul said, if Jesus isn't raised, our faith is false and foolish, and we have no hope. How reasonable is it to believe in Jesus's resurrection from the dead? It's the only reasonable conclusion to draw from the eyewitness evidenced other undisputed facts. an

  • The Grace of God, Easter Message - Very Rev Andrew Faust

    The Easter message of God's grace challenges us to internalize our faith, to respond to it, and to work on our faith growing closer to the risen Savior. God's grace, God's undeserved favor, is most fully revealed by Jesus's on the cross. The Risen Lord calls on us to live in faith.
