Sermons
Each Sunday, a brief sermon (or homily) follows the reading of the Gospel. The point of the sermon is to proclaim the Good News of God's grace through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and to make that "Gospel" (literally,"Good News") relevant to our daily lives. The sermons can be found below. If you like them, consider subscribing to our podcast.
