Hear the messages that Father Jeremiah delivers each week
to the congregation of Grace Anglican.
Jesus’ teaching about his own pending death to the disciples connected with his teaching on who is the greatest, reminds us that only by dying to self can we discover the greatness that God the Father intends for us.

St. James confronts his readers with the reality that their fighting flows from selfish sin within and their lack of wisdom. For them to gain wisdom they only need ask God, but that wisdom will lead to humility and a seeing others as more important. And through that, the grace of God will flow to them. However, back of all of this is already God’s grace because that is what is necessary for them to even begin to see that they lack wisdom. So, grace leads to wisdom which leads to humility which leads to grace and the cycle goes on and on.
