AOC Sunday Report – First Sunday after Easter

 

 

Happy First Sunday after Easter!

The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE!

We are back to our full compliment of sermons. There are excellent sermons from Bishops Jerry and Roy, as well as Revs Jack and Bryan.  Each is quite different, and each is very enjoyable.   Rev Jack brings the Propers together today.    His sermon is below the propers and can be viewed on video HERE -> https://youtu.be/Zxv3HAzTsck

 

In the Collect, we acknowledge God sent His Son to be both our Savior and Sacrifice.  The Collect goes on to acknowledge it takes only a small ‘leaven’ of malice and wickedness to contaminate out entire being.  In his General Epistle, John tells us that if we truly follow Jesus, we will by our very nature overcome the world.  He goes on to describe the composition of the Triune God.  John’s Gospel portion this morning describes Jesus sending the Holy Ghost to the disciples and more.  It all comes together, listen or read to understand how. 

There are always a lot of people who need your prayer.  It is safe to say today is not the exception.  Please start with the family of George Gunn, in particular his wife Becky, then Tricia, Laurie, Shamu and work out from there.

There is a lot going on this coming week, some good, some not so good.  If you see only the not so good or worse, ask for a little help from that Third God Guy, the Holy Ghost.  He will bring you comfort and strength, as well as clarity and a whole bunch more.

Have an EPIC week.

Godspeed,
