Harrowing Of Hell

Blind Bartimeaus on the Side of the Road

October 25, 2015, The Rev. Doyt L. Conn, Jr., preaching

Wherever you are on the road, wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we are on the road with you. It is the road Jesus made. He is the road, and he is on the road with us as well—all of us. The road is our home. And you know what is so beautiful about this? All of our roads intersect here at Epiphany.

James and the God-Acts

September 6, 2015, Wellesley Chapman preaching

God sent his son into the world also a beggar for shelter and a refugee from a ruler intent on killing him. And we did not have the ability, in his time on earth, to love him enough. Captives of our own fear, we sentenced him to die. We were there when we nailed him to the cross. And if this is what we are willing to do to God, then I ask you, what will we not do to one another?

Go and Feed the People

June 28, 2015, The Rev. Joseph Constant preaching

My brothers and sisters, as Christians, Jesus will ask us to do what appears to be impossible. In the kingdom of God, we are called to deny our self-importance and live for the sake of the other. Here, we ask God, how can we be a blessing to someone today? How can we offer support to the mournful and those in distress? How can we improve the quality of somebody’s life?

And So Shall It Be

May 17, 2015, The Rev. Darrell Goodwin-Moultry

The church is where change should start first, economic change, racial change, equality and inclusion. That means we will have to take off our white robes, take off the make-up, dishevel our hair and be willing to be honest about our own wounds and brokenness.

The Times, They Are A-Changin’

January 18, 2015, The Rev. Doyt L. Conn preaching

“I believe a time is opening in front of us where barriers are coming down, veils are being lifted, and the gates of heaven are swinging open, beckoning us to come through. For some of us this will feel like an invasion. For some of us this will feel like a visitation. For some of us this will sound crazy. And for others of us it will sound like an invitation, and I hope that is the case for you.”

Epiphany: Carrying the Gospel into the Future

January 6, 2015, The Rev. Doyt L. Conn preaching

The vitality that normally and naturally accrues to a church when it does what a church is designed to do, has positioned us to do what churches have done for 2000 years. It has positioned us to prepare ourselves to pass the Gospel on to future generations and to prepare ourselves to greet those who have yet to know the beauty and vitality of the Christian way of life.
