  • The Ordinary Work of Sainthood (All Saints’ Sunday)

    30 October 2022

    The Ordinary Work of Sainthood (All Saints’ Sunday)

    Speaker: The Rev. Nathan Stomberg

    Topic: All Saints', Eric Liddell, Holiness, Pentecost, Saints

    Book: Ecclesiasticus, Matthew, Psalms, Revelation

    For every Saint whose name we remember, there are a thousand more who silently served and suffered for the sake of the Gospel, and they are as much responsible for the advance of the Gospel as the great heroes of the faith whom we celebrate. We forget this so easily, and this is precisely why we need the heroes of the faith - to encourage us in the ordinary work of Sainthood. The ordinary life is a beautiful thing, because God ordains the ordinary to accomplish His divine and perfect Will.

  • Christian Perspectives on Death and Dying

    23 October 2022

    Series: Lessons 2022-2023

    Christian Perspectives on Death and Dying

    Speaker: The Rev. Mark Galloway, The Rev. Nathan Stomberg

    Topic: Assisted Suicide, Death, Funerals, Lessons, Pro-Life

    The Rev. Stomberg and the Rev. Galloway discuss the dignity and value of human life, and how our end-of-life arrangements can serve as a Gospel witness. The discussion also covers assisted suicide, burials, funerals, living wills, caring for sick and dying relatives, and more.

  • The Right Way to Pray

    23 October 2022

    The Right Way to Pray

    Speaker: The Rev. Mark Galloway

    Topic: Declaration of Independence, Freedom, Liberty, Pentecost, Prayer

    Book: 2 Timothy, Jeremiah, Luke, Psalms

    Can you really be a Christian when you don’t pray every day? A recent Pew survey indicates that roughly half of all professing Christians do not pray every day. Without daily prayer, we cannot be truly happy. And when we pray, we should pray like the tax collector, begging for God’s mercy. We need to be people of real prayer.

  • Be Persistent in Prayer

    16 October 2022

    Be Persistent in Prayer

    Speaker: The Rev. Nathan Stomberg

    Topic: C.S. Lewis, Desire, Holiness, Pentecost, Prayer

    Book: 2 Timothy, Genesis, Luke, Psalms

    It is said that our issue as Christians is not that we ask God for too much, but that we ask God for far too little. The same is true of our frequency in asking. Our problem is not that we come to God too much, but that we hardly come to him in prayer at all. Listen as the Rector encourages us to be persistent in prayer.

  • Grafted in by Faith

    9 October 2022

    Grafted in by Faith

    Speaker: The Rev. Mark Galloway

    Topic: Faith, Good Samaritan, Pentecost, Ruth

    Book: 2 Timothy, Luke, Psalms, Ruth

    Here’s the great preoccupation of Americans: We do everything in our lives to avoid mortality. Are we not all going to die, however? We can’t avoid mortality, but we can enjoy eternal life in the presence of God, like the Samaritan and like Ruth, if we simply put our trust in Jesus Christ to save us.

  • Do Not Be Ashamed of Your Faith

    2 October 2022

    Do Not Be Ashamed of Your Faith

    Speaker: The Rev. Nathan Stomberg

    Topic: Confidence, Courage, Holiness, Pentecost, Shame

    Book: 2 Timothy, Habakkuk, Luke, Psalms

    How many of us have gone through a season of chaos and hardship in our lives - be it illness, financial hardship, or broken relationships - and lost sight of what the LORD is doing? We cry like the prophet, “How long will I cry for help, God, and you will not listen to me?” But hindsight is twenty-twenty, is it not? How differently would we approach our present sufferings if we only considered how God was using them to increase our future holiness!

  • Is the Love of Money the Root of All Evil?

    25 September 2022

    Series: Lessons 2022-2023

    Is the Love of Money the Root of All Evil?

    Speaker: The Rev. Mark Galloway, The Rev. Nathan Stomberg

    Topic: Capitalism, Generosity, Immigration, Lessons, Wealth

    The Rev. Stomberg and the Rev. Galloway discuss the love of money and how Christians should handle their wealth. The conversation also covers wealth, generosity, capitalism vs. socialism, immigration, the principle of subsidiarity, circles of influence vs. concern, and more.

  • A Warning Against Arrogance

    25 September 2022

    A Warning Against Arrogance

    Speaker: The Rev. Mark Galloway

    Topic: Arrogance, Money, Pentecost, Pride, Wealth

    Book: 1 Timothy, Amos, Luke, Psalms

    The rich man in Jesus’ parable about Lazarus isolated himself in his wealth, never inviting the poor and the lowly to join him. The rich man’s greed separated him from Abraham across a great chasm in the afterlife, which could never be crossed. Christians living in 21st century America should be careful to consider how we, like the rich man, might be allowing our own arrogance to prevent us from loving God and our neighbor.

  • God Will Not Be Fooled

    18 September 2022

    God Will Not Be Fooled

    Speaker: The Rev. Mark Galloway

    Topic: Elizabeth, Hypocrisy, Pentecost, Pride, Queen Elizabeth

    Book: 1 Timothy, Amos, Luke, Psalms

    In our sinful nature, we naturally seek personal gain and prosperity over the Word of the Lord. We are tempted to fool God into thinking we are perfectly good (when we are not), just as we fool other people into thinking we are more righteous than they. But God will not be fooled by our human deceptions, and we cannot escape our own hypocrisy except through the Grace of Jesus Christ. Prosperity will always disappear, but the Word of the Lord stands forever.
