  • Jesus’ prayer and ours (Fr. David Houk)
    Easter 7: May 12, 2013 (St. John 17:20-26) On the night before he faced the cross, Jesus put everything into the Father’s hands, inlcuding us. Our lukewarm attitude to prayer might be overcome if we put everything in God's hands as well. Sermon_2013-05-12.mp3 | Right-click and select "Save link as..." to download
  • The Paraclete (Fr. David Houk)
    Easter 6: May 5, 2013 (St. John 14:23-29) How was it that the Church’s stock went up after their charismatic leader, Jesus, exited the scene at his ascension? It was only through the power, wisdom, direction, and words given by the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, that the Church had a chance. And it is the same Holy Spirit who makes the impossible possible today. Sermon_2013-05-05.mp3 | Right-click and select "Save link as..." to download
  • The Trustworthy Shepherd (Michael Mills)
    Easter 4: April 21, 2013 (Isaiah 57:14-21) It may still be Easter Season, but when tragedy strikes it seems nearly impossible to remember the significance of this triumphal season. Our readings on Good Shepherd Sunday remind us that no matter what difficulties may lie in our path, our risen Lord is indeed a Shepherd in which we can place all our trust.

  • A new word: Resurrection (Fr. David Houk)
    Easter Sunday: March 31, 2013 (St. Luke 24:1-12) The Gospel accounts of the resurrection are true to life: people don’t know what they know until they really know it. The disciples never understood what Jesus was telling them about his impending death and resurrection until they experienced the empty tomb. And then, they discovered the real, risen Jesus all around them. Sermon_2013-03-31.mp3 | Right-click and select "Save link as..." to download
  • The rejected Stone (Fr. David Houk)
    Lent 5: March 17, 2013 (St. Luke 20:9-19) The question is not what happens if we reject the Messiah. The question is what happens when we reject the Messiah. And then, do we see how the rejected Jesus fits the story of our lives? Sermon_2013-03-17.mp3 | Right-click and select "Save link as..." to download
