Happy Trinity Sunday!
The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE!
We have excellent sermons today from Bishop Roy, as well as Revs Jack and Brysn. Not surprisingly there is a fair amount of talk in the sermons about the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Rev Jack brings the Propers together today. His sermon is below the propers and can be viewed on video HERE -> https://youtu.be/dynuzaWhIz0
In the Collect, we acknowledge there is a Triune God, that is to say there are three aspects of God; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. A Triune God means literally Three in One, not three separate Gods or godlets, but a single being with three aspects. How does this work? The honest answer is – WE DON’T KNOW, but there is more. The text serving as this morning’s Epistle came from the Book of Revelation and describes Heaven. Heaven is the real world, so how do we get to the real world from these Shadowlands? There is but one way, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the Propitiation for our sins. In the Gospel, Jesus tells us what we need to do to get into heaven. It all comes together. Having trouble visualizing that? Read or listen to Rev Jack’s sermon.
There are as usual a lot people who need your prayer, please start with Shamu, Tricia, Laurie and work out from there. While you are there, please give a prayer of thanksgiving for our Presiding Bishop Jerry Ogles who celebrated his birthday yesterday!
It looks to be an epic week or so ahead, are you having difficulty visualizing that? If so, you might want to consider looking to God for guidance. He will help you see the wonder that is going to come into your world in the next week or so.
Godspeed,
