AOC Sunday Report - Twenty-Second Sunday after Trinity

  

Happy 22nd Sunday after Trinity. The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE! Today we have outstanding sermons from Bishops Jerry and Roy, as well as from Revs Jack and Bryan.  Rev Jack brings the Propers together today.    His sermon can be viewed on video here -> https://youtu.be/bZ-slxitSpQ

The Collect, Epistle and Gospel tie together, laying out, detailing and reinforcing the same message ultimately. The Collect asks God’s help to keep the church on track, following Him, and not deviating, that we might serve Him. The Epistle is Saint Paul writing to the church in Philippia, Paul sends his greetings letting them know he has been praying for them constantly. He tells them that the good work God has begun in them will surely continue until Christ returns to them. Paul tells them he prays that they will find more and more joy in following the will of God. Continually reminding people of the joy of being born a new person, Paul prays that their “love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.”  The Gospel is the story of the forgiven servant, the one who will not himself forgive.  See how all this ties together.

Every week we have a long list of people who desire your prayer, this is no different than any other week except maybe there are more people.  Please start with Shamu, Tricia, Laurie and Jim, work out from there.

There is a really amazing and inspiring week ahead.  If you are having difficulty visualizing it, perhaps you should open your heart further to that Third God Guy, the Holy Ghost. 

Have an epic week!

Godspeed,
