To whom is your life lived? To the gods of this present age or the God who has made you alive in Christ Jesus? 2 Chronicles 36:14-23 speaks of the unfaithfulness of God’s officers and priests which led to the Babylonian captivity. In this week’s message, Fr. Michael Novotny engages this difficult text and how relevant it is in the church today.
Does zeal for God’s house consume you as it did Jesus? As Jesus clears the temple of merchants and money-changers, his disciples remember Psalm 69:9. In this week’s message, Fr. Michael Novotny helps us understand the significance of this episode in Jesus’ ministry and how it applies to how we understand the importance of God’s presence, the Temple, and the Church in our lives today.
What is your response to suffering and self-denial? Most of us prevent it at all costs. After confessing that Jesus is the Christ St. Peter wanted to deter him from walking toward his own suffering (Mark 8:31-33). St. Peter learned a difficult lesson about self-denial. This week’s message from Fr. Daniel Logan helps us understand how to learn this lesson in our own lives today.
Do you trust the Lord? This is difficult for every Christian. The Fall of mankind was the result of Adam’s failure to trust God. In his baptism and temptation in the desert, Jesus did what Adam could not: withstand the deception of Satan. As we begin our Lenten journey, listen to this important message by Fr. Michael Novonty.
Will you observe a holy Lent or not? This is a compelling question that we must all ask on Ash Wednesday. As we begin our season of preparation for the celebration of the Resurrection, Fr. Michael challenges us with this question, admonishing us to fast, pray, and give alms over the course of the next 40 days.
Who exactly was Jesus? Where can we go to answer this question? This week marks the final Sunday in the season of Epiphany and focuses on the Transfiguration of Jesus. Fr. David Tew explains the significance of this event as the testimony of all the Old Testament prophets as well as the Father in heaven. Jesus is the Son of the Father, to whom we are to listen.
The Fifth Sunday of Epiphany marks World Missions Sunday for the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). It is appropriate to emphasize the Church’s perennial mission during this season as we are Christ’s witnesses throughout the world. In this week’s message Fr. Michael Novotny gives us a biblical theology of missions and helps us understand that the gospel of Jesus Christ is for all nations.
