Parable of the Sower- Sermon- Isaiah 55- Deacon Steven
In this week’s sermon, Deacon Steven looks at Jesus’ Parable of the Sower and asks us to consider what kind of soil our hearts have become. The seed of God’s Word is generously scattered, but how we receive it makes all the difference. Jesus describes hearts that are hard, shallow, distracted, and those that are ready to receive his Word and bear fruit. Drawing from his own experiences of seasons
The Easy Yoke: Finding Rest for the Weary Soul- Sermon- Matthew 11- Deacon Steven
In this homily, Deacon Steven addresses the universal experience of soul weariness by exploring Jesus's invitation to the burdened in Matthew 11. He begins by identifying the heavy yokes of modern life—such as burnout, loneliness, and professional stress—arguing that worldly escapes like entertainment or substances are merely temporary fixes that leave the spirit empty. The speaker then highlights
Do Not Fear: You Are Seen, Known, and Valued - Sermon- Matthew 10
In this message, we dive into Matthew 10 to explore the deeply human experience of fear and Jesus's repeated command to "do not fear." While we often think of fear in terms of physical harm or existential threats, it frequently manifests in subtle ways—such as the fear of rejection, loss, or being misunderstood—quietly shaping our lives and decisions.Rather than calling us to muster
The Order of Our Loves | Matthew 10:34–39 -Sermon- The Sword That Brings Life
Passage:Matthew 10:34–39YouTube Blurb:Some words of Jesus stop us in our tracks:"I did not come to bring peace, but a sword..."What does Jesus mean? Isn’t He the Prince of Peace?In this message from Matthew 10, we explore one of Jesus’ more difficult teachings through the lens of Ordo Amoris — “the order of our loves.” Jesus isn’t calling us to love family less; He’s inviting us to love
Living on Mission Without Burning Out - Sermon- Matthew 9:35–10:4
What does it actually mean to live on mission?Many Christians find themselves in one of two ditches. On one side is a constant pressure to evangelize every person, every moment, every opportunity. On the other side is a quiet faith that rarely moves outward at all.In Matthew 9, Jesus offers a different way.As He looks upon the crowds, He is moved with compassion because they are "harassed and
I Desire Mercy, Not Sacrifice- Sermon- Matthew 9:9–13
We live in a world that knows how to punish but struggles to forgive.In Matthew 9, Jesus does something scandalous: He calls a tax collector, dines with sinners, and confronts the religious leaders with a surprising truth:"I desire mercy, and not sacrifice."This message explores God's relentless mercy, the story behind Jesus' words in Hosea, and what it means to stop keeping scor
Drawn Into the Divine Life | Trinity Sunday- Sermon- Matthew 28:18–20
On Trinity Sunday, we explore one of the deepest mysteries and greatest gifts of the Christian faith: God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Far from being an abstract theological puzzle, the Trinity reveals the very nature of God as a life of perfect love, self-giving, and communion. In the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20), Jesus invites us not merely to learn about God, but to be drawn into His
The Holy Spirit: Comforter of Our Souls - Sermon- John 14:15–17
Happy Pentecost!In John 14, Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure — and underneath all their questions is a deeper cry:“Can you comfort us?”Jesus answers by promising the gift of the Holy Spirit — the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, the abiding presence of God with His people.In this Pentecost message we explore:• The Holy Spirit as Comforter• The Spirit who grounds us in truth• How God i
Finding Peace and Purpose in Jesus- Sermon- John 14:1, 8-14- Deacon Steven
In this week’s message from John 14:1 and 8-14, Steven encouraged us to let our hearts be untroubled by embracing the calling Jesus offers His followers. Amid the disciples’ anxiety over Jesus’ coming departure, He gave them, and us, three anchors: a command to obey, a calling to embrace, and a conversation to maintain through prayer. Jesus promises that whoever believes in Him will do the works H
The Way, The Truth, and The Life - Sermon- John 14:6
“Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”Thomas asks one of the most honest questions in all of Scripture — and one that still lives in every human heart. In a world overflowing with information, directions, opinions, AI, and endless “paths,” why do so many still feel lost?In John 14, Jesus does not hand His disciples a map, a checklist, or a five-step plan. He gives the
A Home Beyond the Trouble- Sermon- John 14:1–3
“Let not your hearts be troubled.”In a moment filled with uncertainty, fear, and the threat of loss, Jesus speaks words that still meet us right where we are. In this message from John 14, we explore how His promise of a true and lasting Home speaks directly into our anxiety, our longing, and the instability of the world around us.What if that ache you feel—the sense that things aren’t quite as th
What did Jesus mean by “abundant life”?- Sermon- John 10:1-10
In John 10:10, He says:“I have come that they may have life… to the full.”We often think that means comfort, success, or more of what we want.But Jesus offers something deeper.This message explores a better vision of the abundant life:• Oriented toward God• Becoming who you were made to be• Belonging to something bigger than yourselfNot a life that comes and goes…but one grounded in the Good Sheph
Luke 24:13-35- Sermon- Hearts on Fire: The Road to Emmaus- Steven Sifers
Last Sunday evening, Steven Sifers walked us through Luke 24:13–35, the powerful story of the Road to Emmaus. In a moment filled with disappointment and confusion, we see how Jesus meets His followers right where they are—drawing near, opening the Scriptures, and revealing Himself in the breaking of the bread.This “Emmaus Pattern” still shapes our lives today. When our hopes feel shattered, Jesus
Good Friday Meditation | “I Will Remember Their Sins No More”
Today is Good Friday—a sacred time to slow down, reflect, and enter into the depth of Christ’s work on the cross.In this short meditation from Hebrews 10, we explore a powerful and often misunderstood phrase:“I will remember their sins no more.”Does God actually forget our sins?Or is something deeper happening?This message unpacks the biblical meaning of “remembering” as covenant action—not mere m
John 20:1-10- Sermon- The Lord is risen. Alleluia
Jesse is reflecting on the message of Easter- the announcement that Christ is risen. He emphasizes that this isn’t just a historical claim, but a story that changes everything- what he calls not just “history,” but “His-story.”He points out that the resurrection account itself is surprisingly strange and imperfectly told- it feels clumsy, unpolished, and even a bit confusing. But instead of weaken
John 9- Sermon- God's Love in Action
In this sermon, Deacon Steven explores the healing of the man born blind to illustrate that God’s love is active, near, and inviting. By juxtaposing the man’s physical, emotional, and spiritual isolation with the intrusive, tactile mercy of Jesus, the speaker argues that Christ does not merely fix biological defects but shatters the darkness of the human condition. The narrative structure highligh
John 4:1-26- Sermon- God's Pursuit
In this sermon, Pastor Jesse explores Jesus’s encounter with the Samaritan woman to illustrate the active nature of divine love. The text highlights how Jesus deliberately crosses social, ethnic, and religious boundaries to pursue an individual who was considered an extreme outsider. Through their dialogue about "living water," the source emphasizes that God’s love is not a stagnant conc
John 3:1-16- Sermon- Nicodemus
This message by Jared Mackey reintroduces the famous passage of John 3:16 by framing it as an intimate, theatrical dialogue between a curious, aging religious leader named Nicodemus and Jesus. Jared moves beyond the verse's common status as a modern cliché to explore three foundational pillars: birth, wind, and love. By examining the concept of being born from above, the text suggests that spi
Matthew 4:1-11 - What Temptation Reveals: Jesus in the Wilderness
In Matthew 4, Jesus is led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted. On the surface, this passage teaches us how to resist temptation. But beneath that, it reveals something much deeper.Temptation is never just about the “skittle.” It’s never just about bread, power, success, comfort, or control. Temptation exposes what’s happening in our souls. Do we trust the Father? Do we try to secure o
Psalm 103:8-14 Sermon - What Ashes Really Mean | Ash Wednesday Reflection
In this Ash Wednesday sermon from Christ the King Anglican Church, we reflect on the spiritual meaning of ashes — not as emptiness, but as what remains when something beautiful has been broken down.Ashes remind us of our story: formed from dust, fractured by sin, often feeling disordered or burnt out. Yet Psalm 103 proclaims astonishing good news — God remembers our frailty and meets us not with d
Matthew 17:1-9- Sermon- Behold His Face
As we prepare for Lent, guest priest Jordan invites us to examine a deeper question: What are you giving yourself to—and what fruit is it producing? This sermon challenges us to reflect on the habits, desires, and allegiances shaping our lives and to consider whether they are forming us more into the likeness of Christ. A thoughtful and searching message to help prepare your heart for the Lenten s
Matthew 5:2-12 - Sermon - The Map to True Happiness
What does it actually mean to be "blessed"? We often equate it with luck or material success, but Jesus paints a very different picture in the Beatitudes.Join us as we look at Matthew 5:2-12 and explore how to exchange the "cultural water" we swim in—self-sufficiency, fragmentation, and contention—for the life-giving nature of the Kingdom of God.Highlights:Why "poor in spi
John 1:35-42- Sermon- What Are You Seeking? | The Secret Engine of Your Life
What is it that you most deeply desire?Most of us spend our lives chasing "the next thing"—career goals, security, or simple survival. But underneath the surface, there is a deeper set of desires that quietly guides every decision we make.In this message, Jesse looks at the first interaction between Jesus and His disciples in John 1. Interestingly, Jesus doesn't start with a list of rules or a se
Matthew 3:13-17- Sermon- Why You Feel Spiritually "Off-Balance" (And How to Find Center)
Do you ever feel like you’re just "reacting" to the news, your circumstances, or your own emotions? In this sermon, we explore the baptism of Jesus—not just as a religious ritual, but as a "spiritual re-calibration." Using the metaphor of physical therapy and proprioception, we look at how sin acts like a traumatic nerve injury to our souls, severing our connection to our Crea
Isaiah 7:10-17- Sermon- What Is Christian Hope? | Immanuel, God With Us
Hope can feel fragile—or even unrealistic—in a world shaped by disappointment and fear. Is Christian hope just positive thinking, or something more?In this Advent sermon from Isaiah 7, we explore how God meets us with hope not as an idea, but as a gift—and not as a general feeling, but as a person. When King Ahaz wanted an army, God gave him a child.Christian hope is not manufactured. It is receiv
Isaiah 2:2-5 - Sermon - When Hope Feels Impossible: Walking in the Light of the Lord - Justin Langley
In Isaiah 2:2–5 we’re given a vision that sounds almost too good to be true—nations streaming uphill to the mountain of the Lord, the end of war, and the world finally learning the ways of peace. When Jesus speaks in Matthew 24, the imagery darkens: shaking heavens, an unexpected return, and a call to stay awake. Yet these passages belong together.This sermon explores how God invites us out of des
Colossians 1 - Sermon - CHRIST THE KING IS HERE
It’s Christ the King Sunday — the final Sunday of the church year — and we end where everything ultimately begins and ends: with Jesus Christ, the King of Kings.In this sermon we look at Colossians 1 and explore how the presence of the King changes everything.Just like Hugh Latimer once said to himself before preaching in front of King Henry VIII:“Be careful what you say… the King of kings is here
Luke 21:5–19 - Sermon - Temples, Fear, and the Unshakeable Kingdom”
In Luke 21:5–19, Jesus looks at the most unshakeable thing His disciples knew — the Temple — and says, “It’s coming down.”This sermon wrestles with why Jesus names the collapse of what we trust, why our culture is primed for fear, and how the command “Do not be afraid” becomes possible when everything feels unstable.If you’ve ever built your life on something that later crumbled — a job, a relatio
Luke 20:27-38 - Sermon - FOMO and the Resurrection
We all live with a low-grade FOMO—fear of missing out on success, experiences, the life we could be living. But the deepest FOMO isn’t about weekends or opportunities… it’s about death itself.In Luke 20:27–38, the Sadducees challenge Jesus with skepticism, logic, and doubt—but Jesus answers with resurrection hope.And that changes everything.Because if death isn’t the end, FOMO loses its power.We’r
Matthew 5:1-12 Sermon - Beatitudes and All Saints
All Saints' Day isn't just about famous people from history—it's about you. If you know Jesus, you're a saint, an heir to a glorious inheritance! But what does that mean for your life today?We dive into the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount, showing that they aren't a list of achievements to strive for, but a divine promise given to God's people. We explore the life o
Luke 17:11-19 Sermon - Living Into Thanksgiving
Gratitude is what you feel.Thanksgiving is what you do.In The Gospel According to Luke 17:11–19, ten lepers are healed — but only one turns back to give thanks.This story isn’t just about feeling grateful. It’s about returning to Jesus in worship.Let’s be a people marked by thanksgiving — turning gratitude into praise.
Luke 17:5-10 Sermon - Mustard Seed Faith, Glorifying God, and Suffering - Steven Sifers
Big idea: Use the small faith you have.Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, or a stubborn problem that won’t budge? In this message Deacon Steven walks Luke 17:5–6 and invites us to stop chasing “more faith” and instead use the mustard-seed faith we already have — trusting Jesus to make small trust do mighty things. Through the mustard-seed and mulberry-tree images, personal testimony, and pract
Abide in Christ: The True Vine | John 15 Sermon
What does it really mean to “bear fruit” as the church? In John 15, Jesus says, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.” Fruit doesn’t come from striving harder—it comes from abiding in Christ.In this message, we explore three anchors of abiding:Clinging to Christ through faith and His WordBeing nourished by prayer and the SacramentsLiving out loving, costly obedience togetherLike o
The Paradox of the Cross: Judgment, Victory, and Hope
On Holy Cross Day, we look at John 12 and hear Jesus’ words:“Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”The cross is not just a symbol of suffering—it is God’s victory over darkness, His perfect justice, and His invitation to unity and hope.✝️ In this message, we explore:Why God’s judgm
Luke 14:7-14 - Sermon - Divine Hospitality
Hospitality is more than good manners—it’s a glimpse into the very heart of God. In Luke 14, Jesus shows us that true hospitality is rooted in humility and generosity, not in pretense or reciprocity. This sermon explores how every act of welcome, from the smallest kindness to sacrificial generosity, participates in God’s eternal story of making room for us at His table.Join us as we learn how to l
Proverbs 9 - Two Invitations: Wisdom or Folly
Life is full of choices—35,000 of them every day, according to one study. Some are small and forgettable, but others shape our souls and set the course of our lives.In Proverbs 9, Scripture paints a vivid picture: Wisdom sets a feast on one side of the street, Folly sets hers on the other. Both call for our attention. Both invite us in. The question is—which table will we sit at?In this final serm
Proverbs Recognizing the Steadfast Fool
In this sermon, the "Nabal" is presented as the committed fool from the book of Proverbs. This isn't about being silly, but about a hardened heart that rejects God. Using the Colorado rivers as an analogy, the sermon challenges us to recognize this dangerous folly in others and, more importantly, in ourselves.You'll learn how to identify a Nabal and avoid their destructive influe
The Folly of the Scoffer | Proverbs & Luke 7
The Folly of the Scoffer | Proverbs & Luke 7In Proverbs, the “scoffer” is the fool who resists correction, dismisses others, and hides spiritual poverty behind a façade of superiority. In Luke 7, we meet Simon the Pharisee—educated, religious, respected—yet blind to the grace of God right at his table. Meanwhile, a woman of ill repute shows the opposite posture: humility, repentance, and deep
The Sensual Fool: When Pleasure Pulls Us Off Course | Proverbs Series
This week at Christ the King Anglican Church, we continue our summer series exploring God’s wisdom in Proverbs—not just as ancient advice, but as a living path toward what is good, true, beautiful, and whole.This message focuses on the Sensual Fool—someone who drifts from wisdom by following appetite, impulse, and escape.

The Fools We All Carry: Proverbs and the Way Back to Wisdom - Part 1
What does Proverbs mean by “fool”? It’s more nuanced than we think.In this message, Pastor Jesse unpacks two portraits of folly from Proverbs—the simple fool and the reckless fool. Drawing from Scripture, real-life insight, and a little humor (IKEA furniture, anyone?), he shows how recognizing these patterns can actually help us grow in wisdom.Folly isn’t just “out there”—it creeps into our own he
Proverbs 8 - The Tensions of Wisdom
Life doesn't always feel fair, does it? The book of Proverbs promises that the righteous will flourish and the wicked will stumble, but our lived experience often tells a different story. In this sermon, we dive into the wisdom of Proverbs and explore how to read this ancient text faithfully, even when it seems to clash with the brokenness of our world. Discover how "Lady Wisdom" was
Luke 9:51-62 - Sermon - Following Jesus in the Tension. Radical or Ordinary?
Is Jesus really telling us to never go home, skip our dad’s funeral, and give up all comfort? Or is there something deeper going on?This sermon explores Luke 9:57–62, where Jesus gives a series of hard, even confusing, responses to would-be disciples. At first glance, His words sound extreme—maybe even contradictory to other parts of the Bible. But when viewed in context, they reveal a powerful tr

John 17:20-26 - One-ness and Unity - Sermon
In John 17:20–26, Jesus prays what may be His final public prayer before the cross—and what He prays for is stunning. Not strategy. Not safety. Not even success. But unity. A unity so deep it mirrors the communion between the Father and the Son.This message explores what that kind of oneness means for the Church today—not uniformity, but a Spirit-empowered love that assumes the best in one another
John 14:21-29 Sermon - The Peace of Jesus - Steven Sifers
What kind of peace does Jesus give—and why is it so different from what the world offers?

Luke 13:1-9 - Sermon - Why do Bad Things Happen?
In this challenging passage from Luke 13:1-9, Jesus responds to tragedy in an unexpected way—not by explaining suffering, but by inviting us to turn to Him. When we see the brokenness in the world, our instinct is to ask "Why?" But Jesus shifts the question: "What about you?"Through two tragic events and a parable about a barren fig tree, Jesus reminds us that we live in a frag
Luke 13:31-35 - Sermon - Jesus’ Lament: The Vision of Jerusalem and Our Own Hearts
In this sermon, we explore Jesus’ deep lament over Jerusalem in Luke 13:31-35. Why does He grieve for the city, and what does that have to do with us today? Jerusalem wasn’t just a place—it was a vision of flourishing, of a life centered on God’s presence.

Luke 9:28-36 - Do We See Jesus for Who He Really Is?

For the disciples, it was a moment that changed everything—showing them that Jesus was far more than they had imagined.Like them, we can become spiritually drowsy, seeing Jesus as just a helper for our plans rather than the radiant, holy Son of God. But th
Luke 6:27-36 Sermon - Being Transformed By Loving Your Enemies
In this sermon from Luke 6, we dive into one of Jesus' most challenging teachings: "Love your enemies." While many of us would get this answer right on a Bible quiz, living it out is far more difficult. Jesus calls us not just to tolerate our enemies but to actively do good, bless, and pray for them. This teaching is not about passive submission but about breaking the cycle of wrongd
