Our Mission

We believe that the door to salvation is always open and so are the doors to our church. Our mission is to be fully devoted to Jesus by opening our arms to those in search of the truth. We show God’s love and concern for our fellow man at every opportunity. Through works of charity and opening our doors to listen and love, we feel that we are walking in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.

Prayers for Our Troops

Our church offers prayers for servicemen and women at every Morning Prayer or Evening Prayer service.

Amen

The Collect

O GOD, whose never-failing providence ordereth all things both in heaven and earth; We humbly beseech thee to put away from us all hurtful things, and to give us those things which are profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

THIS WEEK'S TEXT

The Epistle. Rom. viii. 12.

BRETHREN, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Trinity VIII

A sign in an accountant's office read -

Blessed are the poor

For they pay no inheritance tax.

Many people look up their family history in hopes that they will find out that they are heirs to some great family fortune.

As Christians, Saint Paul tells us in today's Epistle that we are heirs to something much better!

Rom. 8:14 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

In this epistle of Saint Paul he doesn't just say that those that are led by the Spirit of God are subject, servants, soldiers, or friends of God, (all of which are excellent titles), but he tells us that they are “sons”.

This is a much higher and comforting title for the Christian.

How is it possible for sinful men to enter into such a wonderful relationship with God?

While in one sense God is the universal Father of all mankind, and all mankind therefore are his children, we are “lost children” in that though sin we have been separated from God.

Saint John tells us that (I John 3:10) “Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God”.

How then if we are all sinners, can we hope to become again sons and daughters of God, when we know that no matter how hard we try that we cannot attain the righteousness that God demands of us?

Saint Paul's epistle to the Galatians gives us the answer. “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”.

In St. John's Gospel we are told, “But as many as receive him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name”.

Faith in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for us, gives us fellowship with the Father and the Son.

Faith grafts into the Father's family and opens to us the Father's house.

Faith in Jesus Christ makes us sons and daughters rather than merely servants.

The true Christian then becomes an “heir of God”.

They are then “joint heirs with Christ” and will share in his glory and the unspeakable joys of heaven.

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence, that the good work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.
