Traditional Anglican Sermons

The question of who the Holy Ghost is is far more important than many people realize. To know God as He truly is is not only a matter of truth but of life itself, for our relationship with Him shapes both our present existence and our eternal destiny. The Holy Ghost is the third Person of the Holy Trinity, the Lord and Giver of Life, who brings us into communion with God and pours His love into our hearts. Through Him we receive forgiveness, renewal, spiritual gifts, and the grace to grow in holiness.

In an age dominated by misinformation, fear, and division, one question echoes more urgently than ever: What is truth?Beginning with Pilate’s question to Jesus, this message explores how modern society has lost confidence in truth itself—and why only Christ can restore it. Through reflections on repentance, humility, courage, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Christians are called to reject falsehood and live boldly in the light of eternal truth.

On the Feast of the Ascension, this sermon asks a profound question: Where is God? Drawing from Solomon’s prayer and the words of Christ, it proclaims that God is not distant or absent, but near to His people in every moment of life. Through Jesus’ incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension, the way to heaven has been opened, and believers are invited to live in the presence of God both now and forever.

What does it take for civilized people to forget compassion, humility, and conscience? This sermon confronts the uncomfortable truth that even those who consider themselves “good” are far closer to spiritual collapse than they imagine. Set in the joy of Easter yet grounded in the reality of human weakness, it explores why repentance is not only for notorious sinners, but for every soul that falls short of divine love. Through Scripture, personal reflection, and a striking real-life story of people unraveling under pressure, the message points to the only true hope for humanity: the mercy of God revealed in the crucified and risen Jesus Christ.

A powerful Fourth Sunday after Easter sermon on fixing our hearts on God amid life’s uncertainty. Bishop Robert Hammond explores unruly wills, the promise of the Holy Spirit, Christian discipleship, and where we turn in times of struggle.

Christ did not die and rise for Himself, but for us—so that our sins might be forgiven and we might share in eternal life. Through faith and baptism, we are united with Him: we die to sin and begin a new life in righteousness.

For now, we live in the “little while” between Christ’s ascension and His return. This life includes struggle, sorrow, and opposition, yet it is marked by hope. Jesus promises that our sorrow will be turned into joy, and that the glory ahead is greater than anything we can imagine.

This hope calls us to live faithfully. Our choices matter—not only for ourselves, but for others who may come to know God through us. Though we do not yet see Christ, He has not left us. He will return, and when He does, our joy will be complete and everlasting.

Are we living as if we don’t need God? This sermon explores the illusion of human control, and why only Christ the Good Shepherd can lead us to true life and salvation.

This thought-provoking sermon explains why believers need the Church as the Body of Christ and the guardian of God’s saving truth.
