Emotional Eating – Ordinary Time, October 8, 2023

October 10, 2023 / Sunday service /

Isaiah 5:1-7
Psalm 80:7-19
Philippians 3:14-21
Matthew 21:33-44

St. Timothy Anglican Church - October 8, 2023

Emotional Eating All of us do it. We balance out the hard things with something nice. In Philippians, Paul talks about "enemies of the cross of Christ" whose god is their stomachs. They've taken emotional eating to its extreme, living a life of consumption in an effort to avoid the reality of death and the cross. Setting our minds on the life of Christ, we can avoid this error, and realiz that the end is not as dreadful as it might appear.

It’s Not Fair – Ordinary Time, September 24, 2023

September 25, 2023 / Sunday service /

Jonah 3:10-4:11
Psalm 145:14-21
Philippians 1:21-27
Matthew 20:1-16

St. Timothy Anglican Church - Sept 24, 2023

Is God fair? Today, we look at one of Jesus' parables, in which a vineyard owner hires day laborers to work. He promises to pay them whatever is "fair". As the laborers worked different amounts, the parable insists that we consider what "fair" looks like, and we learn something important about God, and something important about ourselves. Texts: Jonah 3:10-4:11, Philippians 1:21-27, Matthew 20:1-16

Ten Thousand Talents – Ordinary Time, September 17, 2023

September 18, 2023 / Sunday service /

Sirach 27:30-28:7
Psalm 103:1-14
Romans 14:5-12
Matthew 18:21-35

St. Timothy Anglican Church - Sept 17, 2023

How do we forgive? After Jesus teaches about forgiveness in Mt. 18, Peter asks a very understandable question - how far does this really go? Jesus' response is a parable about forgiveness, and it teaches us what to do with some of the pain we carry when we've been sinned against.

My Brother’s Keeper – Ordinary Time, September 10, 2023

September 11, 2023 / Sunday service /

Ezekiel 33:1-11
Psalm 119:33-48
Romans 12:9-21
Matthew 18:15-20

St. Timothy Anglican Church - Sept 10, 2023

My brother's keeper - How responsible am I for those around me? It's a common concern, if we're honest. In Matthew 18, Jesus picks up some threads of Old Testament thought and changes his disciples viewpoint. They were concerned about who was the greatest. He is concerned about protecting one another, even from ourselves.

How He Builds This – Ordinary Time, September 3, 2023

September 5, 2023 / Sunday service /

Jeremiah 15:15-21
Psalm 26
Romans 12:1-8
Matthew 16:21-27

St. Timothy Anglican Church, September 3, 2023

How does Jesus build his church? Romans 12 is an amazingly memorable passage. In it, we learn how we grow as indivduals in Jesus, and how God uses us to help one another grow. Our faith response to God's grace is a beautiful back and forth that builds us up in Jesus.

Jesus Says Some Confusing Things – Ordinary Time, August 27, 2023

August 28, 2023 / Sunday service /

Isaiah 51:1-6
Psalm 138
Romans 11:25-36
Matthew 16:13-20

Jesus Says Some Confusing Things - St. Timothy Anglican Church - Aug 27, 2023

Matthew 16:13-20 In today's gospel passage, Jesus asks his disciples some hard questions. They answer with divine insight, and Jesus makes some promises that have given rise to a lot of confusing belief and practices in the modern church. We look at some context, some grammar, and some theology to find the solid ground in a passage that many of us just skip over.

St. Timothy - Aug. 13, 2023

Thanks for joining us today! We are concluding our Proverbs summer series today, though there are many topics we couldn't get to. It is really a wonderful book! Proverbs 3:5-6 is a wonderful summary verse. Our creation and salvation rightly claim every part of our lives - heart, soul, mind, and strength. The grace of Christ, likewise, is available for every part of our lives.

Our Summer of Mission continues with a great testimony from Ben Courtemanche - the Northeast Regional Director for the Navigators. We then continue our discussion from Proverbs, looking at the common theme of strife and peace. We all find ourselves in conflict, but how can we avoid unecessary and unproductive conflict?

Welcome to Worship - July 30, 2023

Today, in our Summer of Mission series, we hear from Doug Smith, who leads our weekly prayer meeting. In our Proverbs Study, we look at two proverbs, right next to each other, about responding to foolish people saying foolish things. To answer, or not to answer? That is the question.
