Sermon for the 14th Sunday after Pentecost

By Rev. Tom Margrave | Published: August 30, 2010
Ecclesiasticus 10:12-18; Hebrews 13:1-8,15-16; Luke 12:1, 7-14. Our first reading comes from the book of Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) which is found in the Apocrypha. I am always pleased when we have a reading from the Apocrypha because these books are part of the true King James Bible. The Bible we find in most other Protestant [...]

Sermon for the 13th Sunday after Pentecost

By Jonathan B. Hall | Published: August 26, 2010
Jeremiah 1:4-10; Hebrews 12:18-29; Luke 13:10-17 Today’s Gospel brings Jesus face to face with one of his classic adversaries: a Pharisee. The lessons we’ve just heard are consistent with what we’ve heard all summer. We continue to hear about an old law and a new: the value and necessity of the old but also, critically, its incompleteness [...]

Sermon for the 12th Sunday after Pentecost

By Rev. Tom Margrave | Published: August 16, 2010
Luke 12:49-56 Yesterday as part of the Vestry meeting we did a Bible study of today’s gospel. Anytime that we as a community engage scripture the insights can be pretty profound, and I thought our resulting discussions were fruitful. The Vestry has been reading and discussing a book on making church boards more spiritual and this [...]

Sermon for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost

By Rev. Tom Margrave | Published: August 7, 2010
Ecclesiastes 1.2, 12-14;2.18-23; Colossians 3.1-11; Luke 12.13-21 It’s good to be back. As I prepared this sermon, I was thrilled to discover that there are certain themes found in the Gospel which not only are found in the Epistle reading but in the reading from Ecclesiastes. The first is that after our deaths someone else will [...]

Sermon for the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost

By Mary Ellen Pembleton | Published: July 27, 2010
In today’s gospel, Jesus tells us how to pray. He gives us a common bond, something that is personal, something that was close to Him. Christian prayer goes back to the example and precept of Jesus himself. His own prayer was the occasion for the disciples to ask Him how to pray. [...]

Sermon for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost

By Rev. Tom Margrave | Published: July 5, 2010
Today is the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence—the 4th of July—and it seemed appropriate to preach today on independence. It may be a bit surprising but Christianity is big on independence at least in the beginning. Paul writes to the Galatians about the freedom they have in Christ—that God focuses on us whether we [...]
