AOC Sunday Report – Fourth Sunday in Lent

 

 

Happy Fourth Sunday in Lent!

The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE!

We have superb sermons today from Bishops Jerry and Roy and Revs Jack and Bryan.  Each is quite bit different, but you will enjoy each of them.  Rev Jack brings the Propers together today.    His sermon can be viewed on video HERE -> https://youtu.be/UJZyeqx-v9I 

Today’s Collect acknowledges to God we have fallen way short of our goals He set for us and we deserve to be punished for our failures; by His Grace we are relieved of that punishment. Jesus accomplished that relieving by laying down His Life so we might be free of eternal damnation.   In the Epistle, Paul discusses the two covenants, the two parts of this world.  The Gospel is another example of Jesus’ action, not diction.  Action will always benefit our spiritual state compared to inaction. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we are compelled to act upon our faith. Perhaps not what we want right at the time, but certainly what we need then and in the eternal future. Great stuff and it all comes together, listen or read to understand how. 

There are a lot of people who need your prayer each week, this is not the exception.  Please take a bit of time, start with Shamu, Tricia, Laurie and work out from there.

There is always a week of wonder ahead, we just need help to see it. Open your heart to that Third God Guy, The Holy Ghost!

Godspeed,
