Worms, Laborers, and Death
In this sermon Fr. Sam Behar preaches on the lectionary passages for the 16th Sunday after Trinity Sunday. The gospel has a way of undermining our assumptions about who deserves the mercy of God. Through Jonah, the laborers in the vineyard, and...
It is Better that You Should Live
The world teaches us to pursue greatness through achievement, independence, and power, but Jesus turns our understanding of greatness right side up. In his kingdom, greatness is found in humble dependence upon the Good Shepherd who seeks the lo...
The Messiah We Don't Want
We naturally want a Messiah who leads us from glory to glory, but Jesus leads his disciples toward the cross. In calling us to take up our own crosses and follow him, Jesus shows us that our suffering is neither forgotten nor wasted—and that in...
Blessed are you, for God has revealed this to you
Peter’s confession that Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the living God” marks a turning point in Matthew’s Gospel—but Jesus reminds him that this recognition is itself a gift from God. Our hope rests not in our ability to understand or save ou...
Jesus Treads Upon The Water
When Jesus walks across the stormy Sea of Galilee, he is doing more than displaying his power over nature—he is giving his disciples a glimpse of his victory over death. Like Peter sinking beneath the waves, we cannot rescue ourselves; our hope...
The God Whose Character is Always to Have Mercy
The Bible is honest about the human condition—we are sinners who repeatedly fall short of God's holiness. Yet the greater story of Scripture is not our unfaithfulness but God's unrelenting compassion. From Israel's wilderness wanderings to the ...
The Nature of the Kingdom of God
The kingdom of God rarely arrives the way we expect. Through a series of memorable parables, Jesus reveals a kingdom that begins small, transforms everything it touches, is worth surrendering everything to gain, and will one day be revealed in ...
The Sword, the Cross, and True Peace
Jesus is called the Prince of Peace—so why does He say, "I have not come to bring peace, but a sword"?In this sermon on Matthew 10:34–42, we wrestle with one of Christ's most difficult sayings. Jesus prepares His disciples for t...
The Battle Waged and Won
Jesus warns his disciples that following him will bring opposition, yet he also gives them a reason not to fear. In this sermon from Matthew 10:16–33, we explore why the Church often finds itself at odds with the world, how Christ has already w...
A Kingdom of Priests
God did not save his people simply for their own sake. In this sermon, we consider how the Lord calls his Church to be a royal priesthood, proclaiming the good news of Christ to a world in need of hope, while relying not on our own strength but...
Terms and Conditions Do Not Apply
What happens when we treat God’s law like a set of terms and conditions—something we can ignore until it is enforced? Drawing from Hosea 6, Romans 4, and Matthew 9, this sermon explores the danger of trying to earn God’s favor through religious...
The Best Possible World
The doctrine of the Trinity is often treated as a difficult theological puzzle, but it is far more than an abstract idea. In this Trinity Sunday sermon, we explore how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit reveal the deepest meaning of creation, red...
Pentecost and the End of Babel
At Babel, humanity sought security and glory by making a name for itself. At Pentecost, God began undoing that rebellion through the gift of the Holy Spirit, gathering people from every nation around the name of Jesus Christ. This sermon explor...
