Lift Up Your Eyes: Wednesday of Summer Embertide 2026 (John 4:31-38)

Moses saw two men prophesying outside the structure and said: would that all the Lord’s people were prophets. That prayer was answered at Pentecost. Now the question is whether the Church will steward the outpouring faithfully. The fields are white. The laborers are few.

Ember Days: An Anglican Perspective

Four times a year, the Anglican calendar sets aside three days for fasting, prayer, and intercession for the Church's ministry. Most Anglicans have never heard of them. Here's what Ember Days are, when they fall, and how to observe them.

Greater Love Has No One Than This: Memorial Day 2026 (John 15:12-17)

This Memorial Day, we explore the heart of the Gospel through John 15: “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” We honor those who served and gave their lives while fixing our eyes on Christ, the true Keeper and the Lamb who shepherds the multitude.

Come, Holy Spirit: Pentecost Sunday 2026 (Acts 2:1-21)

Mary Magdalene wept alone in a garden on Easter morning. By Pentecost she is gathered with the 120 in prayer, then stands with the whole community as the Spirit is poured out on all flesh — and three thousand more are added that same day. The arc of Easter does not end with a private encounter. It ends with a community sent.

The Day of Pentecost

Today is Pentecost Sunday — one of the seven Principal Feasts of the Anglican year. The Spirit comes with wind and fire. Three thousand are baptized. The Church is born. The mission begins. And every year the collect asks: pour out this gift anew.

Kept in Your Name (John 17:1-11)

Jesus doesn't pray for his people to be taken out of the world. He prays for them to be kept in his name and sent into it. The new creation is underway and we are part of it through kingdom work — and he is still praying for us at the right hand of the Father.

He Ascended Into Heaven (Luke 24:44-53)

The ascended Christ is far above all rule and authority and power and dominion — not eventually, but now. Every power that frightens us, every force that seems to govern the world: he is above all of it. This Thursday.

Ascension Day: An Anglican Perspetive

The Feast of the Ascension celebrates not the disappearance of Jesus, but his exaltation — and not his distance from us, but the new and greater intimacy of his priestly presence before the Father on our behalf. The Feast Day still presses its claims on us today.

Abide in Me (John 15:1-11)

Jesus doesn't say try harder. He says abide. Stay connected. The branch produces fruit not by effort but by remaining on the vine. Apart from him we can do nothing. Abide in him, and your joy will be full. The fruit comes in its season.
