Love Deeds, Love Needs

Love Deeds, Love Needs
"Do all deeds in love."
1 Corinthians 16:14

A sermon on the upright, the holy, the disciples, apostles, deacons and converts. The sermon uses the readings from the Malankara lectionary, including Psalm 15, Luke 10, end of 1st Corinthians and Acts 6. In all of this there is a clear teaching about our need to carry the message with love and example. "All you need is love" is more than a popular song title it is the essence of Christianity...

Freely in Fire

Freely in Fire
"Do this and live; for I worship God"
Genesis 42:18

A sermon on the Holy Trinity. This expands on some of the points from previous sermons, but combines Genesis 42:18, Daniel 3:25 with the Gospel reading from John (6:35-46), the reading from Acts (13:26-39) and the end of the Epistle to the Galatians.

This homiletic speaks to the fullness of the Holy Trinity, how we are protected when we worship according to the Orthodox faith, even if we have diminished in our practice... and more.
