Teaching Sermon Series
It might seem as though our faith is linear, journeying from one point to another. In reality, our faith is on a circular path, ebbing and flowing at different times and seasons. Sarah Bessey describes it this way in her book Miracles and Other Reasonable Things: “Just when I feel that I know who God is, God unbecomes that vision and remakes. Just when I am certain that I will always experience God in the same ways, a new path opens.”
This is one reason we use a Sunday lectionary, a collection of scripture readings, which repeats every three years. The scripture readings remain the same, but we are different. During those three years we grow, shift, and adapt as persons and as a community of faith. We see, hear, and understand things differently. In light of this, each month one of our rectors will preach a teaching sermon offering instruction on the core tenants of our faith. Here are the dates and topics. Once the date has passed, we will post a link to the completed sermon for future reference.
December 5 The Church Calendar and the Liturgical Year
January 9 What is Anglicanism and how does it relate to the rest of Christendom
February 20 Baptismal Belief and Practices
March 13 Eucharistic Belief and Practice
April 24 Confirmation and Marriage
May 8 Ordination
June 26 Confession and Healing
July 31 End of Life & Burial
August 14 The Daily Office and Daily Prayer
September 18 The Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament)
October 16 The Christian Scriptures (New Testament)
November 27 The Creeds
December 4. TBD
