How do we place a value on an individual life? How does the way we value the lives of others affect the way our own souls are weighed? In this sermon on the story of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16 and St. Paul's charge to Timothy in 1Timothy 6, Father Paul Wheatley discusses how our hearts are directed toward what St. Paul calls "Life that really is life," the life lived in the one who rose from the dead, Jesus Christ.

We all know how morality tales go: The good one gets rewarded, and the dishonest person get's their just desserts. The problem is Jesus doesn't seem to play by these conventions. In this sermon on the parable of the Dishonest Manager, Mother Emily Hylden looks at the unexpected tale Jesus spins of a crafty manager being rewarded for shrewdness, and its call to us to think differently about what it means to be blessed.

In this service, rather than a traditional sermon, Father Paul Wheatley leads an "Instructed Eucharist," pausing at points within the Eucharistic liturgy to explain the ceremonies and the meaning of what is coming next. The breaks between sections come in the recording without much announcement, other than the shuffling sound of papers as Fr. Paul reached to pause his recorder. The section breaks are as follows:

Before the Beginning of the Service: Theme and Vesting Prayers

Before the Ministry of the Word: Called to be the People of God

Before the Gospel: Mtr. Emily explains the symbolism of the Gospel Procession

Sermon: Fr. Paul explains the Eucharistic offering in light of St. Paul's letter to Philemon

Before the Offertory: Our Eucharistic offering

Before the Eucharistic Prayers: Jesus' Last Supper, Liturgical Time, and the Cross - One Whole Offering

Before the Dismissal: The church service is over; our true service has just begun.
