We have excellent sermon this Sunday from Bishops Jerry and Roy, as well as from Revs Jack and Bryan. The sermons are very very good. I think you will enjoy each of them. Rev Jack brings the propers together today. His sermon is below the propers and can be viewed on video HERE -> https://youtu.be/6sf1JXGK3JE. When the Collect talks about the church, just like last week, it is not talking about buildings; it is talking about us. Each of us; all of us and together. We need God’s help (pity) to keep the group of us together following His Will, for without His Help (Holy Ghost) we are doomed to utter failure. Saint Paul points out if we will open our hearts to God, He will send the Holy Ghost to fill our hearts with Love, Courage, Inspiration, Tenacity and Confidence, all of the good traits that will help our character development. When Saint Luke relates the story of the Widow of Nain, it is more than just a simple miracle. In those days, a widow with only one son had little, a widow with no son was in deep trouble. Jesus took compassion on her and also took the opportunity to make His power evident. It all comes together, read or listen and find out how. I hope you find it useful.
We have a number of people who desire your prayer, I beg you to take a little time to pray for them. Please start with Shamu, Mr. Kim, Tricia, Laurie and work out from there.
There seems to be a pretty good week ahead, I know things are trying to weasel spit in the world, all we can do is do our best to follow our Lord. If you're having trouble with this, please consider opening your heart further to that Third God Guy, the Holy Ghost.
Have an epic week,
Godspeed,
