Preparing for the Feast
What does it mean to be a casual Christian? How can we follow Jesus wisely and avoid folly? This week’s gospel passage is Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins. As we near the end of the Christian year, Jesus has some sobering words for all who are invited to the wedding feast: bring extra oil for your lamps. Join us as Fr. Ben Williams encourages us to get ready for the feast.
The Treasury: Generous Stewardship
Are you rich? As Christians, we are all more wealthy than we think. Even if we do not have financial means, we have been entrusted with the greatest treasure of all: the gospel of Jesus Christ. This week concludes our sermon series on our core values at Mission Saint James. Fr. Ben Williams challenges us to take inventory of our treasury as we look at Jesus’ parable of the Talents. How we steward our finances indicates who we wish to please: the master or ourselves.
