Trinity 15 Sermon: Trusting God Over Anxiety and Worry
Jesus says we cannot serve two masters — and anxiety itself can become one. This Trinity 15 sermon explores Matthew 6:24-34 and the call to trust God over worry.
Thankfulness and Saving Faith: A Trinity 14 Reflection
Why did only one leper return to Jesus? In Luke 17:11-19, all ten lepers received physical healing, but only one returned to thank Christ. Fr. Dan explains that gratitude is more than good manners. It is the response of a heart that recognizes God’s mercy and seeks relationship with the Giver rather than simply enjoying the gift. Through thanksgiving, the Samaritan received not only cleansing but true spiritual wholeness.
Love That Crosses the Road: The Good Samaritan and Grace
The Good Samaritan teaches us that Christian love is more than feeling sympathy or performing respectable religious duties. Because Christ has first shown mercy to us, we are called to cross the road, draw near to those in need, and make His love visible through acts of compassion.
