Happy Twentieth Sunday after Trinity!
The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE!
We have really great sermons today from Bishop Jerry and Revs Jack and Bryan. Each one of them is considerably different and each one is really good. Rev Jack brings the Propers together today, his sermon can be viewed on video here -> https://youtu.be/STLJ3NI7128. The Collect, Epistle and Gospel tie together, laying out, detailing and reinforcing the same message ultimately. We have to be ready and willing to listen to God, and walk with God, and act with the Holy Spirit in us, in order to have the right “clothes” to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Heaven is at the end of an uphill trail. The easy downhill trail does not lead to the summit. The time is now, not tomorrow. The time has come, indeed. How will you ACT? The time to act is NOW. Will you act? For whom will you act? Will you count the cost before you act? Action, not diction, is what counts. It is by your actions you are known. Be of God - Live of God - Act of God.
There are always a lot of people who need your prayer, today is no exception. Actually, there never will be an exception. Please start with Jim, Laurie, Shamu and Tricia and work out from there.
There is an epic week ahead, if you're having trouble seeing it, perhaps you need your vision focused by the Holy Ghost. It is there.
Godspeed,
