Through the Dark Forest
What does it mean to follow Jesus? We often get discouraged when we fail in our discipleship or undergo trials and temptations. It can be tempting to resort to easy answers and solutions when Christ is calling us to the cross. He often leads us where we do not want to go. This Sunday is the Feast of Peter and Paul. Join Fr. Ben Williams as we look at the resurrected Jesus’ call to St. Peter and what it meant for him to follow Him.
It’s Personal
What is the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and why is it important to Christians? Trinitarian theology is often pushed aside because it is either too hard to think about or seemingly irrelevant. This Sunday is known as Trinity Sunday and it marks the first Sunday of Ordinary Time within the church calendar. In this sermon, Fr. Ben Williams focuses on the necessity of this doctrine for our salvation.
The Greater Works of God
What does it mean for us to do the “greater works” Jesus promised, and how can our ordinary labor be part of God’s work? In this Pentecost sermon Fr. Ben Williams explores how our everyday labor can either be self-serving or be transformed into “the works of God” through faith in Christ.
Who is Jesus?
Who is Jesus? This age-old question has been asked for nearly 2,000 years. This week, in Mission Saint James’ first episcopal visit, Archbishop Foley Beach shares God’s Word from Jesus’ high priestly prayer to answer the question: Who is Jesus to you.
Made to Be Known
Have you ever felt like a nobody? Have you ever been in a situation where no one knew who you were? In John 10:27 Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” This week, on Good Shepherd Sunday, Fr. Ben Williams focuses on this verse with the encouragement that we are all made to be known, not only by others, but especially by God.
