Trinity Episcopal ChurchJesus is tempted in three different ways… or perhaps really just the one way. And yet he wanted something different. In our own lives, we can use new things and old things as temptations… distractions… from being present and kind to ourselves and others in our lives.
What to Expect on Sunday
When to arrive? Where to park? What door to use? What to do? When is Sunday School again? This is your guide to walking through Trinity’s doors for the first time.
Classes
Need an introductory course to what Jesus actually did and said? How about going deeper, bringing all your questions, fears, and deep skepticism? Or maybe you need to study an excellent modern spiritual text like Eckhart Tolle’s ‘A New Earth’. …we have a class for that.
Volunteering
So you wanna help fix the world? We can do this in three ways. First, we help people in crisis. Second, we help change the systemic nature of this downtrodden life. Third, we help change the world by changing ourselves.
Sermons
Why We Give Things Up in Lent
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also…
In Lent you can pick up a practice just as well as you give one up. The point is that we can learn something about ourselves that we didn’t know before, and that can help our relationship with the Living God.
Living in the Now
Sometimes we want to live in the past. There are some beautiful times, after all, that we’ve had back then. And maybe we think all of our best times are, in fact, in our past. But the lesson of the Transfiguration is that no matter how amazing our life has been just a moment ago, we must continue to live in the present, for it is in the present that God has plans for us to do and be in the world.
Jesus on Divorce
It seems on the surface like Jesus is saying, ‘divorce is inherently a bad idea, and you’re wrong to do it’, when in fact culturally speaking, Jesus’ message seemed to be, ‘you treat women like kleenex, please stop, they’re not meant to be disposable.’
When Life Is Horrible
This is a sermon we offer to you for when life is rough. It was preached directly after yet another violent tragedy (this time, a shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada), but it’s full of wisdom to refer to whenever you are in the midst of the uncontrollable chaos of pain and suffering and you can’t see your way out.
