God's Love Doesn't Need a Permit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some people spent this week being told they do not belong. Here is the good news we could not keep to ourselves: God's love does not need a permit. In this sermon on Matthew 21:23-32, we step into the temple the morning after Jesus turned over the tables and threw the gate wide open. The people in charge show up demanding to know by what authority he welcomes the ones they would keep out. Jesus answers with a story about one family, two sons, and a Father whose love is not rationed to some and d
The End of Counting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We all carry an unwritten mental ledger, constantly tracking who hurt us, who owes us, or who forgot to say thank you. But what happens when we bring that scorekeeping mindset into our faith?

Is Your Life Revealing the True Face of Christ? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" He was not looking for a textbook answer. He was asking what our lives reveal about Him to the world. In this sermon, the Rev. Mark Odieny reflects on how our actions, choices, and treatment of others proclaim who Jesus is far more loudly than our words ever could. Drawing from personal stories of his father in Africa, biblical reflections from Isaiah and Romans, and modern cultural observations, Father Mark invites us to examine the pi
