AOC Sunday Report - Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity


Happy 14th Sunday after Trinity! 

The AOC Sunday report is available RIGHT HERE!

We have excellent sermons this morning from Bishops Jerry and Roy, as well as Rev Bryan.  You also get a sermon from me as Rev Jack is on travel.  My sermon is available on video RIGHT HERE and brings the Propers together.  The Collect asks God’s help to increase in us hope, faith and charity, and more importantly that we might want to things for ourselves that he wants for us, so as to gain increased hope, faith and charity.  And his Epistle to the people of Galatia, Paul tells us Heaven and Earth are in conflict in our lives. If we want to gain eternal life, we have to give up the influence of this world, and accept guidance and In the Gospel, Luke relates Jesus’ story of the 10 lepers who are healed, and only one turned back to give thanks. This is an important concept, giving thanks, being grateful for what we are given. Also, it is important to know just that when the one turned back, Jesus told him thy faith have made thee whole. He had already been healed of leprosy, but the faith in Jesus made his life whole.

There are always a lot of people who need your prayer, today is no exception.  Please start with Tricia, Whitney, Shamu, Jim, Laurie and work out from there.

There is a really epic week ahead, if you're having difficulty or even think you're having difficulty finding it, you might consider opening your heart further to the Holy Ghost and see if that might just help.

Have an epic week,

A Tale of the Magi, 18 December 2019 Anno Domini

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

  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.       ...
