Guest Preacher, the Venerable Paul Charbonneau, preaches on John 15: 9-16 “Abide in My Love” at the Institution and Induction Service for our new Rector, Rev. Mathew Seeram.

Imagine a mother who holds her newborn child for the first time and is filled with wonder, awe, joy and immense love.  Now I want you to imagine when a person is born again, what a joy that will be in the Kingdom of God!    

There’s a new term going around called “internet influencer.”  It’s used  liberally to describe popular internet bloggers and commentators who are said to have an impact on pubic thought and discourse.

Mathew walks us through one of these encounters: Luke 24.36-49, relating to us these same assurances that … Read more2021-04-11 Sunday Worship – Jesus Resurrected

In the Apostle John’s first letter, he asks an interesting hypothetic question: “Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”  Really?  Is that so?  The fact of the matter is, you may read this passage and feel like you haven’t overcome the world at … Read more2021-04-11 Sunday Worship “Victory”
