AOC Sunday Report – Third Sunday after Easter
Happy Third Sunday after Easter! The Day of the Resurrection! Not bunnies, eggs, flowers and chocolates.
The AOC Sunday report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE.
We have excellent sermons today from Bishops Jerry, Roy, Yves and Jack, as well as Rev Bryan and a Second Sunday after Easter sermon from Rev Stephen Cooper. Each of them is really good, interesting and different. They are all very easy reads, each is well worth your time.
Bishop Jack’s sermon can be viewed on video HERE -> https://youtu.be/VT11O0NmgQA
Bishop Jack’s sermon looks at the unifying message of the Collect, Epistle and Gospel and examine how they share a common message of action as we continue to celebrate Jesus’ delivery of the promise of life eternal with Him in our life to come. God is a Triune God; Father, Son, Holy Ghost. One of the Holy Ghost’s jobs is to open our souls, hearts and minds to God’s Will. One of His main functions to help us see where we are in error and how to fix those errors. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad. Act in a manner consistent with the fact you will live forever and be responsible for your actions forever. Action, not diction is what counts. It all comes together.
As always, we have a lot of people who desire your prayers. I know that seems to never change, that is because the need is always there. Once again today we ask you start with the Richards family; Rachel Richards is still in very serious condition after a very bad car accident. They are the wife and daughter of Rev Joshua Richards. Rachel’s injuries are severe. More details in the report.
As we witness the miracle of our Lord’s return, are we following up with action on our part. We all need to see if we are really opening our heart to God’s guidance in the form of the Holy Ghost. If we’re not, and I doubt any of us really are as much as we could, we need to try harder and harder to do that. It is very difficult to follow God’s instructions if you don’t listen to them.
May you set your course on the constant North Star of our Lord.
Godspeed,
Bishop Coadjutor
