Like Gene Autrey I’m glad to be “back in the saddle again!”  Careful listeners will be able to tell that I haven’t completely recovered from my head cold.

New Videos in 2016 A.D.

Anglican Internet ChurchLeave a comment

In this Advent Season, when Christians prepare themselves for both the first and second/final coming of our Lord and Saviour, we should understand what the Christian Faith is about.   No matter what a certain unnamed politician says, Christianity is not a religion which includes “bedrock” teachings of all other religions.  It is the source of the Christian Truth found in the Gospel accounts of the divine origin, Incarnation, life, teachings, Crucifixion, Death on the Cross, Resurrection and promise of Life Everlasting in the divine Kingdom of the Father of the only-begotten Son of God.

I’ve been working on the preliminary plans for a new series of Seasonal Videos and a separate series of Teaching Videos which will be produced in A.D. 2016.   The first in the Seasonal Videos series is a two episode series on Epiphany.   Continue reading “New Videos in 2016 A.D.” →

Twenty-third Sunday After Trinity

Anglican Internet ChurchLeave a comment

My Podcast Homily for the Twenty-third Sunday After Trinity was uploaded to the AIC’s Podbean channel this morning.   The readings are Philippians 3:17-21 and Matthew 22:15-22.  I augmented the commentary on the Gospel reading with references to Isaiah 64:8 and Psalm 138:4, 5.   The first closing prayer was a catena of my own based on Psalm 145:2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 13 and 1 (in that order).  There are only two more Sundays in the Church Calendar (Trinity 24 and Sunday Next Before Advent).  I’ve already recorded both but not uploaded them to the AIC web site.  Listen to the Trinity 23 Podcast Continue reading “Twenty-third Sunday After Trinity” →
