Hear the messages that Father Jeremiah delivers each week
to the congregation of Grace Anglican.
In Psalm 85, we hear of the the graciousness of God toward Israel, and then a confession for a continual need for that grace and kindness from God. How does this reveal our need for Christ and his work? Where does salvations start? Does it start with me or does it start with the foundation laid by Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection?

The Spirit’s coming was the fulfillment of Jesus’ promises to his disciples and a fulfillment of Old Testament Prophecy. His work sets believers in Jesus apart from the world and changes them from the inside out. He unites us to one another and to Jesus himself that we might know the redemption that has been accomplished for us.

Jesus tells his disciples a parable about a crooked and unjust steward and the master in the story commends him for being shrewd. What does this mean exactly? What underlies the shrewd act on the part of the steward? How does this all relate to Jesus? These questions are considered as Father Jeremiah takes us through this parable and reveals to us the True Steward that we need.
