A sermon for the Third Sunday after Epiphany
January 22, 2023 The Rev. Mark Nabors, Vicar Readings: Isaiah 9:1-4; Matthew 4:12-23 “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness--on them light has shined.” We hear those words from the prophet Isaiah spoken to a people in deep darkness–in exile, suffering, hopelessness, despair. Isaiah is telling them it won’t always be this way. Light is coming.

A sermon for the Second Sunday after the Epiphany
January 15, 2023 The Rev. Mark Nabors, Vicar Readings: John 1:29-42 Today Jesus shows up, and John the Baptist points to him, saying, “Here is the Lamb of God.” Jesus shows up by the riverside, and John the Baptist sees him for who he is. I wonder how often Jesus has shown up on the riverside of our lives, and we have missed him? A sermon for Epiphany 1: The Baptism of our Lord
January 8, 2023 The Rev. Mark Nabors, Vicar Readings: Matthew 3:13-17 I’ve only been snorkeling a couple of times. The first time, I went snorkeling in a muddy creek in Missouri. It wasn’t my idea. A friend of mine went all the time and loved it, so I went with him and his dad. We pulled the car off the state highway by a bridge and hopped into the very muddy water. You couldn’t see a thing. The water was brown and dirty, and full of who knows what. Before we got in, my friend’s dad warned us to watch out for cottonmouths. He then told us three or four stories of coming snout to snout with cottonmouths that were at least seven feet long. I learned later that he liked to exaggerate. But it didn’t matter: from the moment I stepped foot in the water, I was concerned about what I would meet. A sermon preached for the Feast of the Holy Name
January 1, 2023 The Rev. Mark Nabors, Vicar Readings: Philippians 2:5-11 “On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…” How about a name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. That’s not as easy to sing as maids-a-milkin’, but it’s what we are given on this eighth day of Christmas, the feast of the Holy Name. |
