Listen now to this sermon preached by The Rev. Dixon Kinser at St. Paul's Winston-Salem at the 10 AM service on June 7, 2026.

Drawing on the story of the bleeding woman and Jesus’ healing touch, this sermon explores how our culture resists public grief—and why God meets us precisely in those vulnerable, “leaky” places. Our tears can be a doorway to deeper trust and wholeness together.

Listen to The Rev. Nick VanHorn preach on May 31, 2026.

On Trinity Sunday, we reflected on how God’s story shapes our own—through resurrection and doubt, memory and hope—and how ordinary people are sent to carry an extraordinary story into an “ordinary” world hungry for good news.

Listen to The Rev. Lucy Strandlund preach on May 24, 2026, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church.

Drawing on scripture and the feast of Pentecost, this sermon reflects on the miracle of breath in our bodies and the breath of God in our lives, sending us out from the safety of the church into a fearful world with gifts of peace, hope, and new life.

Preached on May 17, 2026, for St. Paul’s 150th Anniversary, this sermon by Presiding Bishop Michael B. Curry weaves Scripture, storytelling, and joyful exhortation around a simple truth: we are God’s family. Bishop Curry invites the church to live God’s dream by treating every person as kin and working to transform the world into a place of love, justice, and hope.

A sermon preached by The Rev. Erika Takacs at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on Sunday, May 10, 2026, reflecting on 1 Peter’s seemingly reassuring question, “Who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good?” Rev. Takacs explores how this “failed” rhetorical question exposes the real suffering of early Christians and of our own fear-saturated world, and proclaims the call, drawn from Isaiah and 1 Peter, to “not fear what they fear” but to orient our lives toward Christ, who blesses us even when we suffer for doing good.

Recorded on Sunday, May 3, 2026 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Winston-Salem, NC, this sermon by The Rev. Lucy Strandlund reflects on Jesus’ words, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life,” and what they mean for us today.

The Rev. Jane Patterson, PhD preaches on April 26, 2027.

This Sunday, April 19, 2026, St. Paul's welcomes The Rt. Rev. Jennifer Brooke-Davidson. The Bishop joined us for confirmations.

On Easter Day 2026, The Rev. Dixon Kinser proclaims that God has already acted in the resurrection of Jesus and that changes everything. Moving from Mary’s grief at the empty tomb to the hope of a world being made new, this sermon invites us to trust that renewal doesn’t rest solely on our efforts and to look for where the risen Christ is already at work in our lives and communities.

Palm Sunday is not just about palms: it’s about cloaks, clothing, and the God who claims everything we are. In this sermon, The Very Rev. Andrew McGowan, PhD traces the journey from cloaks thrown before Jesus in triumph, to his stripping in humiliation, to the white robes of baptism that signify being “clothed with Christ.” He invites us to consider what it means to throw our whole lives—our possessions, roles, and identities—at Jesus’ feet and be re-clothed in his freedom and new life.
