This third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday, Father Michael blesses us with his sermon titled “The Joy of Decreasing.”

The message of last week’s sermon was “Stay awake.” Father Zack says the message of this one is “Prepare ye the way of the Lord.”

On this first Sunday of Advent, Father Michael’s message to us is “stay awake”.

Today Father Zack preaches about Ezekiel’s prophecy regarding false, wicked shepherds, and God’s coming as the Good Shepherd.

This week Father Michael looks at the Christian virtue of contentment, and tells us how Saint Paul explained his contentment to the church in Philippi.

Continuing on in our sermon series from the book of Philippians, Father Michael looks at some of the causes of the anxiety and depression facing so many people today, and its cure.

Continuing our sermon series, this week Father Michael looks at the athletic metaphors that Saint Paul includes in his writings, especially ones related to running races, but encourages us to keep our eyes on the true prize at the end of that race - participation in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
