Hear the messages that Father Jeremiah delivers each week
to the congregation of Grace Anglican.
When Jesus tells us to strive, do we think of us exerting our own strength? Or do we think of how weak we are and the impossible task before us of entering the narrow door? Father Jeremiah considers how we strive not our strength, but instead Jesus’ enabling strength revealed in our weakness.

Jesus says, ‘Strive to enter through the narrow gate,’ in the Gospel passage. What are we to make of this command to us today? It is a reminder that we must continually come back to confession and repentance through which we can thrive in the Kingdom and be a part of banquet to come. Here more about this from Father Jeremiah in today’s sermon.
