AOC Sunday Report - Eleventh Sunday after Trinity
The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE.
We have excellent sermons from Bishops Jerry and Roy, as well as Revs Jack and Bryan. Each is different and great. Rev Jack's can be seen on video RIGHT HERE when brings the Propers together again. For a change, the Collect acknowledges God’s demonstration of His Power by His Grace and Mercy to us and asks that we might be fit to follow His Will so as to be admitted to His Kingdom. In his Epistle Paul tells us he is delivering the message he received, the Good News of the Saving Grace of God through Jesus. He points out that if he, who had been Saul the Persecutor of Christ’s Church here on earth could be saved by the Grace of God, then salvation was open to all who would act on their wishes. Thus all who believe on the Name of the Lord Jesus will be saved, if they do not depart from that course. The Gospel is the parable of a Pharisee and a publican both of whom pray in the temple. While the Pharisee might well have been a “better” man than the publican, he clearly was not the man he thought he was, for he prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men.
There are always a lot of people who need your prayer. Today is no exception, please pray for Amy, Marc, Tricia, Laurie, Jim and Mary Lou and work out from there.
Today is the first day of the week. A new week, a week in which to start anew. Open your heart to the Holy Ghost to find that week.
Godspeed,
Church of the Faithful Centurion
