The Epiphany of Christ – Romans 15:8-21

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 7:08 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Romans 15:8-21 The vast majority of you who are reading this are Gentiles and if so, God has a special message of hope for you this morning.  For this is the Day of Epiphany when the whole Church celebrates the revelation of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles.  More than just an asterisk in world or sacred history, the coming of Christ to the Gentiles is nothing less than the destruction of the Old Covenant and the birth of the much... Read more

January 5, Epiphany Eve – Luke 3:15-22

Last updated on: January 4, 2016 at 6:27 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Luke 3:15-22 “What shall we do then?” Imagine that you are in 1st century Israel, minding your own business, groaning under the Roman Empire and looking with weariness and almost complacency for the Messiah. Suddenly, someone dressed in camel skins and a leather belt and eating bugs and bug by-products arrives in the region around Jordan.  He attracts a lot of people, not so much by his weird threads and snacks but by his voice.  Before you can even see... Read more

Last updated on: December 30, 2015 at 6:30 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Hebrews 3 Good day, partakers of Jesus Christ!  Partakers, that is, if you hold the beginning of your confidence steadfast to the end and if you do not depart from the living God.  But I am persuaded of better things for you. God has called you to be a partaker of Jesus Christ.  If you partook of the Holy Communion recently, then you were a partaker of Jesus Christ at that time.  But that’s not the only way we are... Read more

Hebrews 1 Get your hymnals out now, because at the end of this meditation, you ought to feel like singing songs of praise to Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ is God’s Final Word to us (the “last days” actually occurred in the 1st century, according to the writer of Hebrews), who are to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.  In the past, God spoke through the prophets, and God’s people were to listen to and obey... Read more
