AOC Sunday Report - First Sunday after Trinity

  

Happy First Sunday after Trinity!

The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE!

We have great sermons today from Bishops Jerry and Roy, as well as Revs Jack and Bryan.  Rev Jack brings the propers together. The Collect talks about our need for help, the Epistle our need for Love and the Gospel is the story of Lazarus the sick man left to die by the rich man. The lessons might not be what you think, listen and learn.  His sermon can be viewed on video RIGHT HERE.

There are a lot of people who need your prayer every week; this is no exception.  Please start with Roy, Tricia, Shamu, Laurie, Lourie and work out from there.

There is a great week ahead, if you are having trouble seeing it, you might consider opening your heart and soul to that Third God Guy, the Holy Ghost.  The world is not all good, but there is a lot of good in it and more good you need to do.  He can and will help.

Have an EPIC week.

Godspeed,

A Tale of the Magi, 18 December 2019 Anno Domini

Image
N OW  when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men [1]   (Greek  μάγοι , mágoi)  from the east to Jerusalem,  2   Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.  3   When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.  4   And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.  5   And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,  6   And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.  7   Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time...

  A ND  when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.  24  And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.  25  And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.  26  And he saith unto them , Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith ? Then he arose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.  27  But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!  (M atthew 8:23-27 )   Please view this presentation of the below hymn by Gracias Choir:    https://youtu.be/WlVqAPT9YR4?si=ZDZ5bRJOXApwSVs5               This powerful and moving hymn is the composition of Mary E.

The Costly Robe – 30 March 2023, Anno Domini

Image
  U NTO  Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them .   (Genesis 3:21)               In his introduction to my devotion yesterday, Rev Hap Arnold alluded in reference to the skins covering Adam and Eve after their Fall in Eden, as to the import thereof. He did so to evoke a deeper thought in the meaning it clearly represents symbolically. In the above text, God has just provided a first glimpse of his plan of salvation to Eve:   And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel .  (Genesis 3:15)  The Seed to which God makes reference is His only Begotten Son thousands of years hence. So the covering of the nakedness of Adam and Eve was supplied by the first death on earth – that of an innocent animal (whom God loved) such as a lamb.       ...
