Pentecost 16 - The Way of Forgiveness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In today's sermon, Father Casey explains how Jesus transforms Lamech’s seventy-sevenfold vengeance in Genesis into seventy-sevenfold forgiveness in Matthew's Gospel. The Christian faith centers not only on receiving God’s forgiveness through Christ, but extending forgiveness to others. Rather than perpetuating cycles of retaliation, grudges, and violence, Christians are called to embody overwhelming mercy, love their enemies, and live what they pray. Today's Readings: Genesis 50:15-21 | Romans 1
Pentecost 15 - When the Ground Shakes, Love Boldly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Father Leo, emphasizes that when life feels unstable and faith seems to recede, Christians are not called to retreat.

Today's Readings: Ezekiel 33:7-11 | Romans 13:8-14 | Matthew 18:15-20 Sermon preached by The Rev. Leo Loyola on the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost 2026.

Read excerpt

Church activity alone cannot satisfy our deepest longing. The journey begins when give our heart the freedom to experience the question Jesus asks of us, confess him as Lord, and courageously take the leap into a life shaped by our answer. Today's Readings: Isaiah 51:1-6 | Romans 12:1-8 | Matthew 16:
