Happy Twenty-Third Sunday after Trinity!
The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE!
Today we have actually sermons from Bishops Jerry, Roy, Jack and Dennis, as well as Rev Bryan. We have a particular treat today: a sermon from Bishop Elect Yves Méra of France! I know I say every time that each is different and each is extremely good. I say that every time because it is true and I don't believe there is been a better example than this Sunday. Bishop Jerry recorded a slightly different version of his sermon which can be viewed on video RIGHT HERE: https://youtu.be/SslnZe2AoYc.
Bishop Jack brings the propers together today. His sermon can be viewed on video HERE -> https://youtu.be/BdcXa0UGczo
The Collect, Epistle and Gospel tie together, laying out, detailing and reinforcing the same message, ultimately. We have to respect the authorities that govern us, no matter how we disagree or dislike them, and conduct ourselves like Christians. However, that does not mean that we replace the rule of God with the rule of Man. Man’s laws should merely be a restatement of God’s laws, not to replace God’s laws. I hope you find it useful.
There are always a lot of people who need your prayer. I particularly ask you start with Ditte, Shamu, Tricia, Laurie and work out from there.
Godspeed,
