Recessional Hymn
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.
Ephphatha: Hearing God’s Voice Above Life’s Noise
In this Trinity 12 sermon on Mark 7:31-37, Fr. Dan reflects on Jesus healing the deaf man and connects the miracle to modern spiritual deafness caused by constant noise, distraction, and technology. Christ’s command, “Ephphatha” (“Be opened”), becomes a call for Christians to seek silence, hear God’s voice, and be transformed by His grace.
Trinity 11 Sermon: The Pharisee, the Publican, and True Prayer
In the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, Jesus exposes the danger of measuring ourselves against others. This sermon explores how self-justification traps the soul, while humility and repentance open the door to God’s mercy and peace.
