On this All Saints Sunday, guest preacher The Rev. Canon Chuck Robertson, Ph.D, Canon to the Presiding Bishop for Ministry Beyond the Episcopal Church, discusses what it means to be a saint. Saints are those who have gone through the great ordeal. As each of us has gone through or will go through ordeal, he says, we are all saints. As saints, we should exhibit kindness which is love in action. First, he says, we should be kind to ourselves. Second, we should be kind to one another and to all those we encounter. We are blessed that we might be a blessing to others.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St.George Episcopal Church, discusses the day’s Gospel in which Jesus is asked which commandment in the law is the greatest. Jesus knew that this question was an attempt to set him up. Jesus tells us that we need to love God andlove our neighbor. This “agape” love means that we are more concerned about others than ourselves. This type of love is a decision we make and an act of will. Fr. Jim encourages us to discern where our treasure is and whether we are practicing agape love.

In this Trinity Sunday homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that the time following Pentecost is a time to focus on the life of the church and our individual ministries. It is important for us to know that no matter how difficult life may be, God will never abandon us. Just as the Holy Trinity is unified, it is important for us to be united with the Lord, be united with each other, and be united with whatever God has set for us. We need to be open to transformation, new beginnings, and new understanding so that our relationship with the Lord will be long-standing.

On this Pentecost Sunday, The Rev. Canon C. K. Robertson, PhD, tells us that the miracle of Pentecost was not just that the many heard the Gospel in their own language but that they heard a word of hope and about the love of God that gave them a sense of belonging – a sense that they mattered. The miracle of Pentecost is the love of God, not just spoken but lived out. As beloved children of God, we are called to bear and share the love of God with everyone we meet. We are ambassadors for God and Jesus. It is our responsibility to show everyone we meet that they are the most important person on the planet. When we do this, Pentecost comes anew and the world is changed once more, one life at a time.

(The Rev. Canon C. K. Robertson, PhD serves as Canon to the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, Michael B. Curry. He is responsible for Ministry Beyond the Episcopal Church. He represents the Presiding Bishop at many International and Anglican gatherings. He also works with the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church and the General Convention on World Mission.)

On this Sunday after the Ascension, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that we are one with God and others when we know God is praying for us. We are one with God when we place our lives, our speech, our demeanor, and our actions in the hands of God’s protective care. To be one with God also means we have eternal life. To be “one with God” means we understand that we can live with the assurance that God cares about us."

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that for Jesus, the kingdom is now, it is "in the midst of us." In thispassage (John 14: 1 – 14) he is speaking to his troubled disciples who need both comfort and motivation to sustain the faith. I believe he meant the reality of a peaceful existence, peace of mind, or harmony of body, mind and spirit. For later in the chapter he said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you." Peace is not just a far away goal. It can also be real in the moment. Like everything else we do we have to make room for peace. We have to schedule time for prayer, rest and relaxation. It is time that gives birth to creativity and new life."

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that Jesus is the doorway to life. He is both the gateway to freedom during the day and the security guard at night. Our challenge is to be able to find that door so we won’t get hurt and we can experience the "abundant" life God wants us to have.

In this life God is the path. God is the doorway to security and freedom. God protects us and leads us where we need to go. Our happiness and fulfillment depend on our willingness to allow God to help us. We will surely know where to turn by being genuinely tuned into and trusting that God is truly the doorway to life.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that our call in life, our reason for being, is to make Christ manifested, revealed, known, and seen. Jesus is the image, the exact reflection of God.  So let us manifest Jesus. Let us reveal that we want to “Walk As A Child Of The Light.”, God’s light. As it says in our Communion hymn, “God set the stars to give light to the world. The star of my life is Jesus.”  Let us be manifested in Christ, in every aspect of our lives, and let His light shine through us.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that Jesus treats the woman at the well as a whole person. He makes no judgment about her in any way. Jesus crossed barriers with His mission and message. In fact, the disciples were astonished that he was speaking with a woman. Jesus’ encounter impacted her so deeply, she told others, Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done!“ Jesus doesn’t say to her, "Go and sin no more," which implies he didn’t see her as sinful. But he saw her as a child of God in need and thirsty. In need of God’s spirit for acceptance and to be satisfied. Her self-worth is restored, and she has a new sense of dignity. Her spirit has been refreshed and her dignity restored."

In this homily, The Rt. Rev. Gregory O. Brewer*, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida, discusses the claim that Jesus makes upon us.  What we have control over in our lives is very small.  Church should be a place where we can admit our foibles and know that we can rely on God and his mercy. God sees all of who we are and shows us his love and mercy anyway. We need to know that we are deeply forgiven.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that God gave us the great gift of memory, and biblical stories to help us to remember that knowing God means knowing God’s glory.  Moses had moved very close to God. He moved closer to God by realizing that he was not in control. He also moved closer to God by learning patience. And finally, he moved closer to God because he had experienced humility. I pray we do the same each day.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that according to the blessings of Jesus, we are blessed when we know we are dependent on God, for everything. We are blessed when we can experience inner peace and be free. We are blessed when we are ready to forgive than hold a grudge. The crucified Christ is true wisdom and power because it is through our Lord that we have received righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. We are blessed when we believe the best is yet to come through our Lord.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that the invitation from our Gospel to come and see is an invitation we can’t refuse. God is acting and doing things so much bigger than we can imagine. How do we allow our thinking and attitudes to get stretched and to “come and see”? As we begin a new year recognize Jesus as your teacher and Lord. Jesus is challenging us to venture on a new journey. The possibilities are endless and will lead to fulfillment and joy in Christ.

In this homily, The Rev. Janet Richardson, Assistant to the Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, challenges us to think about what we can lay at the feet of Jesus. There are people that need a faith community and need to know they are loved by God. Sometimes to reach these people we have to think outside the box. Each of us has gifts that we can bring to our church and community. Aside from the gifts and talents that we normally think of, other gifts require no particular skill such as the gift of presence, the gift of forgiveness, and the gift of kindness. The greatest gift we can give Christ is very simple – to love Him and to love others.

In this homily guest preacher, The Rev. Dr. Russell J. Levenson, Jr.*, Rector of St. Martin’s Episcopal Church, Houston, Texas, states that we should look at the power of the story of Mary in our daily lives. There were several responses Mary could have given when approached by the angel Gabriel. Yet despite her youth, and the possible scandal her pregnancy would create, she said yes, and that decision made all the difference for the salvation of the world. We are called to be like Mary – to follow her lead and say yes. God calls us to open our hearts to Him-  he loves us, he wants us, and we are favored in his sight.

Today will be the final day that St. George Episcopal Church will publish podcasts of the Daily Office. Rev. Janet Richardson started this series in the fall of 2020 to provide spiritual sustenance during the worst of the pandemic and at a time of great need. Now, over 900 episodes later and with most people returning to their places of worship, the time has come to focus on other areas of communication.

We have enjoyed bringing these podcasts to you and hope that they provided spiritual enrichment and that you will continue the practice using one of the many other virtual offerings of The Daily Office that can be found on the internet or as podcasts.

Janet Richardson started this series in the fall of 2020 to provide spiritual sustenance during the worst of the pandemic and at a time of great need. Now, over 900 episodes later and with most people returning to their places of worship, the time has come to focus on other areas of communication.

We have enjoyed bringing these podcasts to you and hope that they provided spiritual enrichment and that you will continue the practice using one of the many other virtual offerings of The Daily Office that can be found on the internet or as podcasts.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church,  says that as we honor Christ the King today, remember that Jesus is relying on us to be Holy Partners with a Heavenly Call in bringing the truth to a world that tries to shut it out, but desperately needs to hear it and embrace it.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, says that the vocation and calling of the Church, the vocation and calling of you and me is to stand tall in the middle of the chaos and confusion of the world. To maintain our identity as Christians, this is who we are. This is what we’re about. Over and over again to a hungry and thirsty world. Our job is to keep telling the gospel truth—to keep living that truth—because when all is said and done, it’s the only truth that matters. Amen.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor says that for me, there are two categories of Saints. The first category is the larger-than-life Saints, pillars of the Christian faith, that we have heard of most of our lives – St. Paul, St. Luke, St. John, St. Mother Teresa, St. Francis, and others. Then there are the Saints that are not known to all the world.

They are everyday people and everyday saints around us in our communities, personal lives, and certainly our parish. They have shown us that God is alive, active, and moving in the world. These saints have been with us during times of crisis or great need. These Saints could be your Mom, Dad, or other relatives. And yes of course friends. The saint or saints in your life might be a neighbor, co-worker, or a stranger that was willing to be a Good Samaritan. The light of Godshines through them and illuminates what they see. The light of God goes right through them to what they love and brings hope into the world so that we can see its beauty. Often what makes these people special, is they don't get in the way, because they're looking too to show Jesus in the world.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, states “I believe that Zacchaeus got a big boost because he experienced acceptance and love from Jesus. He learned and knew the gift of love. For the first time in his life, Zaccheus wasn’t judged or labeled. His self-esteem "grew" at that moment. He also experienced forgiveness. He may have been hated and despised by society but with God, there was still hope.  Zacchaeus grew because he had learned to give instead of thinking only of himself. He couldn’t make himself taller but he was able to be more generous.”

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that it’s not easy to step out in faith especially when it’s risky, uncertain, or during a hurricane. There are times when we are challenged to live in faith, but we hold back or say to ourselves, “Let someone else do it.” I believe that Jesus was encouraging the disciples to take little steps of faith instead of huge leaps. During Hurricane Ian, many people reached out to others in faith. Nevertheless, those little steps can have a tremendous impact in the community. We are called especially after this week to be rooted in gratitude, love and thanksgiving to God.

In this homily The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church,  tells us that in today's Gospel, Jesus was telling the disciples, both then and us today, that we have everything we need that is necessary for salvation. We have the word of God through Moses and the prophets, and we have Jesus Christ, who modeled a life of love, compassion, and mercy. We know we are to “love our neighbors as ourselves.”  And most every believer can be proud of their volunteerism, their generosity, and their response to those who are in need.

In this homily, the Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, states that the peace of the Gospel is not the same as the offering of the world. The Gospel asks us to follow the love of God by faith, in community, and through discipleship.  We do this so we can deal with the concerns, problems, and pettiness of life in a Holy Way.

The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us in this homily that Luke's gospel asks us to reverse our values and develop new understandings. Those who are blessed are those who are willing to humble themselves before the Lord and choose the lesser seats. It is a story that reminds us that as a church we are to reach out to others and welcome those who are different into our midst. Jesus calls us to seek our unity in and through Him.  When we direct our attention not first of all on ourselves, but to God to whom we belong, then we will discover that in God we also belong to each other.

On this Seventh Sunday after Pentecost, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that by setting apart time for God and God alone, our prayers can only become unceasing when all our thoughts—beautiful or ugly, high or low, proud or shameful, sorrowful or joyful—can be received in the presence of God who surrounds us. By doing this, we move into a God-centered dialogue with God.

On this Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church,  expounds on the Gospel for today that says, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”  God expects from us a harvest that is created by the Holy Spirit. May we always be people of compassion, prayer, and willingness to serve Christ.

On this Trinity Sunday, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, says let us join whole heartily in songs of praise to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. And let us give thanks that this Triune God is united as three in one and loves us more than we can pray for or imagine. Let us savor a God who offers us the very best mystery of all, a love that is beyond anything we can ask or imagine. Amen.

On this Pentecost Sunday, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that Pentecost, this great Holy moment we celebrate today, tells of when the Holy Spirit filled all those gathered – people whose homelands challenge the pronunciation skills of the best of readers. They spoke in their own voices and languages while hearing with one ear. And all people were put right with God through Jesus and filled with the Holy Spirit of God. The central message of Pentecost was the conviction of the earliest Christians that all people are beloved by God, all people are redeemed in Jesus Christ, and all people, are welcome in God’s Kingdom.

In this homily the Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that this Gospel passage calls us to set ourselves apart for God’s purposes in the world. We hear that setting apart in our baptismal rites and Post-Communion prayer, as we join a new family with an amazing responsibility.

The purpose of the Gospel message is not that we would withdraw from society in order to be set apart, but that in living our lives faithful and true to the Good News, we would speak truth, create justice, and offer mercy. Amen.

On this Sixth Sunday of Easter, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that today, Jesus calls us to remember that he gives to us not as the world gives. Let not our hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. He is indeed preparing for a journey. Soon, he will return to God. But he leaves behind the Holy Spirit.

It is time for us to prepare for our own journey into the world…in faith…in hope, in expectation of success, and a journey of witness… knowing the results may not be what we expect but that God is with us, forever and ever. Amen.

In his final homily to St. George before becoming Priest-in-Charge at Holy Spirit, Apopka, The Rev. Ed Bartle expounds on the message of love that Jesus brought to the world. This “eleventh” commandment – to love one another- was exhibited through Chris’s teachings and his relationship with his disciples and followers. The word “love’ is found more than 500 times in the Bible and is key to a Christian life.

On this Fourth Sunday of Easter, the Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, encourages that as we continue our journey through this season of Easter, let us dedicate ourselves to the task of reading Jesus’ word in Holy Scripture, worshipping regularly, saying our prayers daily, looking for God’s calling, and hearing God’s voice to act as servants of Christ.

On this Third Sunday after Easter, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, says he believes that when Jesus told the disciples to cast their nets on the other side of the boat he was challenging them to break away from what they knew and try something different. Following Jesus means often venturing into unchartered waters, going where we’ve never been, expanding our horizons, or developing new relationships. It means leaving our normal habits and being spontaneous. God wants us to follow where the Holy Spirit moves us.

In his Easter Sunday homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, says that this Easter season we are on sure footing because God has provided a strong and steady branch for us to land in Jesus Christ. God rolls back the stones that bind and confine us. God stands waiting with a familiar voice to call us to new life. Jesus is beckoning us, “Follow me”.  We only need to respond by faith and say yes to the invitation. Today we move from death on the cross into a renewed life of the Resurrection. Today we shout together, “Alleluia!! Alleluia !!” Send comments to musingsonfaith@gmail.com or leave a voice message at: https://anchor.fm/st-george-episcopal-ch/message.

In this homily on the Fifth Sunday in Lent and “Outreach Sunday” at St. George, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that pressing on with Jesus is the only way to be right with God. A God who came among us gently, lived wonderfully, taught truthfully, died violently, has risen triumphantly, empowers generously and remains our companion steadfastly. No words can contain God. No effort can stop the power of the Holy Spirit. The best thing is to proclaim God’s Word. That's the whole point.

In this homily on the Third Sunday in Lent, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, says that if we are to bear fruit as the gardener wanted the fig tree to be fruitful, we need to spend time tending to the soil in which we root our lives.  Lent is a season for digging around in the roots of our souls in order to prepare for the mystery of new life that awaits in Jesus Christ.

On this Second Sunday in Lent, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, says that as we look at our scripture lessons for today, they have a distinctive theme. Paul is talking to the church at Philippi about a similar thing: he cautions them not to be seduced by promises of an easier way to live when following the Word of God. The Word of God is an invitation to have a personal encounter with the living Christ and to share the reality of His triumph.

On this First Sunday in Lent, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church,  tells us that in today's gospel, Jesus demonstrated that we need to have faith. Jesus obviously had faith. He was familiar with the scriptures, the lessons of the prophets, and the guiding principles of God. Each time Jesus was tempted by the devil He countered that temptation by referring to the scriptures, specifically the Torah. The phrases, "One does not live by bread alone," "Do not put the Lord to the test," and "Worship the Lord your God," are all from Deuteronomy. Jesus had knowledge of our faith history and the word of God. These statements provide a foundation for personal discipline and direct our thoughts during Lent.

In this homily given on the Last Sunday after the Epiphany, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, says we can’t experience oneness or closeness with God unless we are listening.  When we are truly hearing God’s voice or we are experiencing God’s awesome presence, we discover a power that defies logic. Being with Gog completely overwhelms us as we become one with the creator. It may last only for a few seconds or several minutes but at that moment, we receive a glimpse of the Eternal.

In this homily given by The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church on the Seventh Sunday after the Epiphany, Fr. Jim states that there has been a consistent theme in our scripture readings and collects for Epiphany the last several weeks. This theme is that the Epiphany season manifests Jesus' divine nature to the world. This consistent theme began with a bright star in the heavens that led the Magi to Jesus and was God revealing to all of us that our salvation has come in Jesus Christ. Then we celebrated the Baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist, in which God’s thundering and powerfulvoice came from heaven and declares Jesus to be His Son, in whom God is well pleased. All themes are consistent with this Epiphany theme of God's revelation of Jesus' divinity and future mission and ministry.

In this homily on the Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church says: One thing Jesus says in this teaching from the gospel of Luke has a real season of Epiphany insight: “Put out into the deep water.” Think about that for a moment. “Put out into the deep water.”  When we are feeling inundated by the complications of life or are climbing that wall of worry, go deeper in prayer and seek Jesus even more. When you can’t figure out which way to go with a decision in your life, go deeper in your relationship with our Lord.  When the tasks placed before you seem overwhelming, go deeper in your dependence on Christ.  When you feel like you have nothing but disappointment to show for putting your best foot forward, seek to hear the voice of God even more. Persevere in the Lord. Send comments to musingsonfaith@gmail.com or leave a voice message at: https://anchor.fm/st-george-episcopal-ch/message.

On the Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that the Church as the body of Christ, as Christ living in the world, has a mission.  The Church is called to be a witness for the love and blessing of God made visible in Jesus. Part of the essence of being the Church is being a living witness for Christ in the world through its ministries of love and hope. Paul echoes Jesus’ message, “And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.” Send comments to: musingsonfaith@gmail.com or leave a voice message at: https://anchor.fm/st-george-episcopal-ch/message.

In this podcast, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses the epistle for the Third Sunday After the Epiphany. He says that we understand from Paul’s teaching that every member of the Body is crucial. Every member here at St. George is important and has value. This is true for every person, and because it is so linked to the bedrock of our faith, Jesus and baptism, it is especially true for us as Christian believers. We are all members of one Body of Christ through baptism. Jesus brought us freedom, vision, and salvation for all.

On The Second Sunday after the Epiphany, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, says that just as the grace of God can change water into wine, the grace of God can transform our lives.  But there is more—the future with a life in Christ is now. The glory, grace, and love of God are available now for all.  Jesus was about changing lives; therefore, it seems only appropriate that his first act of ministry took place at a wedding. Because weddings and other sacramental events are transformational parts of our lives. When we are willing to be facilitators of God’s goodness and transformation the faith community is strengthened. When we are open to the potential of God’s grace, life can be different and become vastly improved.

This homily given by The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, calls us to think about our own baptism and its meaning as we celebrate the baptism of Jesus Christ. Several things came together at Jesus’ baptism just as it did at our own. Like Jesus, we are called to persevere in resisting evil; proclaim by word, deed, and example in all that we do in our lives, the good news of God in Christ; seek and serve God in all persons; strive for justice and peace among all people; and respect the dignity of every human.

In this homily given on the Feast of the Epiphany, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, shares his hope that each of us will have an Epiphany experience this year that leads us to a new understanding of how Christ can be within our spirit and soul to mold us and shape us for the future.  In this season of light, we must be willing to travel from our current situation toward God’s light even though we do not know the final destination. The path may be risky and require patience, trust, faith, and surrender. But when the journey ends, like the Magi, we will know we have been blessed and touched by God.

In his inaugural homily as rector of St. George Episcopal Church, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor expounds on the choices that confronted Joseph that could have taken Jesus’ life in different directions. As we begin 2022, each of us similarly has choices to make. When God presents new options, we need not be afraid: “Emmanuel” - God is with us. God calls us not to  live in resentment and anger but to move forward; without forgiveness there is no future. Each day we are traveling toward something greater than ourselves. As we enter 2022 and look at the choices ahead, we need to keep hope alive in Christ, each other, and in our hearts. God is with us, and He will not abandon us no matter where we are today or tomorrow.

In this homily on the 1st Sunday after Christmas, The Rev. Janet Richardson, Assistant to the Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, looks at the Gospel of John which is a  reflection looking back at the life of Jesus. Rev. Janet compares it to the other gospels and the first five books of the Old Testament. She notes that unlike the other gospelers, John’s Christmas story begins with creation as does the book of Genesis. Through creation God brought order and goodness out of the formless void. God sent his son into a broken world to enlighten all of humanity. If we receive Jesus, as fallen as we are, we become God’s children and heirs to his kingdom. God has built a bridge between Him and us - the bridge is Jesus. We are carriers of God’s love, grace, mercy, forgiveness, and compassion to others. People should see Christ in us, and we should practice each of these attributes. Through Jesus we have received grace upon grace, gifts that we have not earned nor deserved . While we will never understand the fullness of God’s love and bountiful grace, we get a glimpse through Jesus and creation. Send comments to musingsonfaith@gmail.

Associate Rector Ed Bartle encourages us in his Christmas Day homily to take stock of what this day is about. He suggests that during this season of frenzy looking for the perfect gift for family and friends we stop and recognize that God gave us the most perfect gift – the babe in the manger. We can give this perfect gift to others by imitating Christ in our thoughts and actions. Until we experience a true Christmas moment, things are chaotic. When we become believers, we take on the responsibility of spreading The Word using the gifts received from God. As believers we know that the only security we need is from our Father and through Jesus Christ - the perfect gift.

On this Fourth Sunday of Advent, The Rev. Nancy Bryson, Deacon at St. George Episcopal Church, discusses how the lighting of the Advent candles has brought more light into the world as daylight shortens and there is more darkness and sadness in our world. As believers we know that along with this darkness shines the light of God – Jesus. God always is with us and will remain with us until we reach the light. The fourth Advent candle is the candle of love; this is also the day when the Gospel reading is Mary’s song – the Magnificat. Although the word “love”  does not appear in Mary’s song, the emotions it stirs are compassion and love. Jesus is the light of love and is the perfect example of God’s compassion and love. As Advent comes to a close, we need to think of the special blessings God has given us. We need to see the signs of hope, peace, joy and love- then we can see Jesus. It is with this special vision that we can see the good in the world so we can discover what the seasons of Advent and Christmas are about.

On this Third Sunday of Advent, The Rev. Ed Bartle, Associate Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses the “joy” found in the readings for this Rose or Gaudete Sunday. He explains the difference between happiness and joy. We should feel joyful and secure as the Lord is our stronghold and defense. Advent is not only a time of repentance but also a time of total transformation that bears fruit. If we feel that we are in need of changing, we must trust that God is working within us and that we only need to listen and act according to His good purpose.

In this homily on the First Sunday of Advent, The Rev. Ed Bartle, Associate Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses the readings during Advent and how they encourage us to be faithful rather than fearful until Christ returns. He suggests that the first two weeks of Advent are a time of evaluation and preparation; the following 2 weeks begin a time of joy and excitement in anticipation of Christ’s birth and his return. He also speaks to the third appearance of Christ which is hidden within his followers and serves as a conduit from Christ’s birth to his return.

In this homily on the Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost, The Rev. Nancy Bryson, Deacon at St. George Episcopal Church, looks at the widow in the Gospel reading for the day. Jesus observed the widow giving all that she had in contrast to many scribes who focused on legalisms and upon their own personal gain, losing sight of the true meaning of God. The widow’s heart on the other hand was in the right place and she gave freely, trusting that God would provide. As Christians, we are called to be Christ’s witnesses on earth and to live and behave in His way. It does not matter how much or how often we make sacrifices to God. God only cares that your heart is in the right place. Send comments to musingsonfaith@gmail.com or leave a voice message: https://anchor.fm/st-george-episcopal-ch/message.

In this homily The Rev. Marnie Silk Wright, Pastoral Care Associate at St. George Episcopal Church, discusses how Jesus opens the door between the sacred and profane, the holy and human. Jesus teaches us how to live, how to love and who to love. He is our intercessor and savior. Jesus is our great high priest because of his reverent submission to God’s will – even unto death. His example shows us that we are called to pour out love on those in the world and not just our family and friends but also every person we touch. By doing this, we complete the circle and give back to the Holy Trinity. Send comments to: musingsonfaith@gmail.comor leave a voice message at: https://anchor.fm/st-george-episcopal-ch/message.

In the Gospel reading we learn of Jesus restoring Bartimaeus’ vision because of his faith. She points out that in addition to physical sight, there are other God given “sights” equally important: hindsight, foresight and insight. By using our “sights” to do acts of kindness, we show our faith to others and show our love of Christ.

Jesus taught that we must learn to become more welcoming, hospitable, and loving. There is more than one way to God.

Deacon Nancy cites the actions of First Responders on September 11, 2001, as an example of taking up Jesus’ cross.

He then goes on to discuss the difficulty of explaining our triune God. God is a mystery that may be best described as Creator (Father), Redeemer (Son), and Sustainer (Holy Ghost). The three personages of God are drawn together by love. And like Isiah, those who believe in the triune God should be ready to spread God’s love in the world.

Healing was one of Jesus' most important ministries. He also commanded his followers to heal the sick in Luke 9:2. Not everyone is given the power to heal but the prayers and the laying on of hands can be a powerful tool for bringing peace to those who are in need both physically and spiritually. In this latest podcast in our “Getting to Know the Episcopal Church” series, Father Ed Bartle and Deacon Nancy Bryson discuss how healing services have helped so many parishioners. They also discuss what the healing services are like at St. George, held on the first and third Thursdays of the month at our outdoor Eucharist.

In this homily on the Seventh Sunday of Easter, The Rev. Nancy Bryon, Deacon at St. George Episcopal Church, discusses the importance of intercessory prayer. Deacon Nancy points out that on the night before he was taken prisoner, Jesus prayed what some refer to as the “high priestly prayer”. Of note, is that  in this prayer Jesus prays for others - his disciples. She states that we are the apostles of the 21stCentury and are called to pray for others. But first we must receive The Word, believe The Word, and respond to and keep The Word.

In this homily on the Fourth Sunday of Easter, The Rev. Ed Bartle, Associate Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses Jesus’ characterization as the “good shepherd”. Fr. Bartle says that Jesus is ready to help us and lead us and that without Him we are lost and just wander around. Jesus is the “good shepherd” because he possesses more than efficiency, strength, fidelity, and power. Jesus also exhibits a type of loveliness; he shows his flock love and compassion, knows the names of his flock, and places his body between his flock and harm. Fr. Bartle concludes that we are called to continue Jesus’ work by using this type of leadership and have faith that Jesus will lead the way and will help us overcome obstacles in our way.

In this homily on the Third Sunday of Easter, The Rev. Beth Hall, Assistant to the Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses Jesus’ pronouncement of “peace be with you (shalom)” to his disciples at his appearance following his resurrection. She says that the peace to which Jesus is referring is not just the absence of war but a sense of reconciliation with our neighbor. This peace brings us back to wholeness, health,  and the fullness of God’s gifts for us and for each other. Real peace in Christ brings a deep joy that cannot be found otherwise.

In this homily on the Second Sunday of Easter, The Rev. Ed Bartle, Associate Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses what can be called the charter of the Church. When Jesus appeared to his disciples following his resurrection, he told them that he was sending them out into the world like his Father had sent him into the world. It is the Christian’s responsibility to deliver Christ’s message to the world. However, we must be sure that the message we deliver is Jesus’ message and not our own self-made policies. The Christian faith is not a blind faith as it does rest upon evidence; faith requires that we trust the testimony of others. Our faith is a matter more of hearing and believing rather than seeing and believing.

In this Easter Sunday homily, The Rev. Ed Bartle, Associate Rector at St. George Episcopal Church, states that the resurrection is the promise we have been looking for, that God is not dead and that there is hope for us for eternal life. He then discusses that there are so many who need to hear this good news and expounds on why we may not be evangelizing the way Christ intended. He concludes that if Jesus had not risen from the dead, we would not have heard of him and the Christian Church would not exist. Jesus, he says, is more eager to comfort those who are penitent than to punish us for our sins.  Send comments to: musingsonfaith@gmail.com or leave a voice message at: https://anchor.fm/st-george-episcopal-ch/message.

When we wear or display a cross, do we look at it as a piece of jewelry or a decoration or do we appreciate the significance of the cross.

In this Maundy Thursday homily, The Rev. Marnie Silk Wright, Adjunct Clergy at St. George Episcopal Church, shares a meditation focusing on Jesus’ washing of his disciple's feet. She says that we are the Lord’s disciples and as such are called to serve one another. We serve because our God loves us so much and he calls us to spread our love until we can love more and more like Jesus. She encourages us to be still and allow Jesus to minister to us – to wash our feet. The more we open ourselves to following Jesus, the more we experience Jesus’ transformative love moving within us and through us. This allows Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, to grow in us.

Fr. Ed suggests that we too face daily temptations – sometimes from those who love us or well-meaning friends - that cause us to stray from God’s path, the road God wants us to follow.  He assures us that everyone of us is pronounced good in the sight of God despite our weaknesses and limitations and that everyone of us is called to do work for God and for God’s beautiful but broken world.
