My sermon from this past Sunday. Because we haven’t picked up on the deeper parts of the parable of the Prodigal Son, we miss the truly shocking nature of this parable. Listen now to discover more about this beloved parable.

Blessings and Woes for the Deceitful Heart, Jeremiah 17:5-10, Luke 6:17-26, 1 Corinthians 15:12-20, Psalm 1
In our lessons today, we have heard much about blessings and curses based on the one you trust. We often think that the only thing that matters is having trust, but the reality is that your trust is only as good as the one in whom you trust is placed. On top of that, we have to contend with a deceitful heart! What is one to do? Father Jeremiah takes us through these passages from Jeremiah 17.5-10, Psalm 1, Luke 6.17-26, and 1 Corinthians 15. 12-20 to help us understand where we are going in this world.

I will be with You, Judges 6:11-24, Luke 5:1-11
When Israel had turned to idolatry and come under the discipline of the Lord, he went to Gideon and called him to be a judge and redeemer for the people. His promise to Gideon was that the Lord would be with him and that this would be Gideon’s strength. The same is true for us who have been baptized and trust in Jesus. He is with us and his being with us means that we will be transformed by this promise because he calls us to go out and be Christians in this world through his being with us.

Jesus' Baptism and Us, Luke 3.15-22
Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. Why was this? How does it connect to John’s ministry of baptism? What does it reveal about God’s actions in Jesus towards us who are sinners? Father Jeremiah reflects on these things in his sermon from Baptism of Our Lord Sunday.

Harmonizing the Infancy of Jesus, Luke 2, Matthew 2
As we read each of the Gospel narratives about the birth of Jesus, we usually ask, “How does this all fit together?” Father Jeremiah walks us through how St. Luke and St. Matthew’s Infancy narratives can fit together so that we can better appreciate the full work of the Father in sending his Son into this world.

Leo the Great's Homily on the Incarnation
Father Jeremiah steps back in time and reads a sermon from St. Leo the Great. Throughout the sermon Fr. Jeremiah offers additional thoughts to hopefully build your faith and draw you nearer to the God who would send his Son to become a true man.

To Be Your God, Luke 2:1-20, Titus 2:11-14
Why would God become man? Father Jeremiah explores this reality in this sermon from Christmas Eve. God is fulfilling his promises through the birth of his Son, Jesus, into this world and the greatest promise is that he will be our God and he will make us his people.
