Wednesday Before Easter, Holy Week – John 16:1-22

Last updated on: March 31, 2015 at 5:19 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

John 16:1-22 I’ve chosen to meditate not just through verse 16 of John 16 (as the lectionary prescribes) but also through verse 22, which fleshes out Jesus’ teaching on His leaving His disciples. If today’s meditation were summarized in a single thought to help guide you on your life in Christ, it would be this: that Jesus Christ is joy, and where Jesus is, there is joy. For the Christian, therefore, this life is supposed to be a life of... Read more

Tuesday Before Easter, Holy Week – John 15:1-16

Last updated on: March 30, 2015 at 11:37 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

John 15:1-16 In John 15, Jesus teaches us that we are to abide in Him as the branches abide in the vine. This is an image of the continuous life of feasting on Christ that we are to have, and there are 3 main truths about abiding in Christ for us to eat this morning. First, abiding in Christ means feeding off Him. As the branch only has life as it comes from the vine, we only have our spiritual... Read more

Monday Before Easter, Holy Week – John 14:1-14

Last updated on: March 29, 2015 at 8:43 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

John 14:1-14 Many definitions have been given for postmodernism. To some, it is the end of the Enlightenment project with its belief in never-ending progress based on man’s reason, or the end of a single, overarching “metanarrative” that encompasses all of reality, or the belief that there is no inherent meaning in the universe because meaning is only constructed by people. Perhaps the one characteristic of postmodernism is that there is no agreement over what it means. David Harvey has... Read more

Priscilla and Aquila

Last updated on: December 22, 2017 at 10:25 am By Fr. Charles Erlandson

1 Corinthians 16:15-24 Every Christian household should be transformed into a house of God. Christian households are the backbone, the foundation, of the Christian church, and if they are not consecrated to the Lord, then the Church herself will be weak and sickly. Sadly, in the 21st century American church, both Church and family are weak and sickly. It’s one thing to spend five weeks on 1 Corinthians, examining in detail the problems of the Corinthian church and admiring the... Read more
