Jesus challenges those who are tempted to think moral purity is matter of the media you consume. Consumption, however righteous, is not the whole of faith. If we are to be doers and not mere hearers of the word, evil must be named and confronted. The Rev. Kevin Laskowski St. John's Episcopal Church, Centreville, VA Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Proper 17 September 1, 2024 Deuteronomy 4:1-2,...

On a Baptism Sunday, Rev. Kevin encourages us to put on the armor of God, the stories of our salvation that protect and empower us. The Rev. Kevin Laskowski St. John's Episcopal Church, Centreville, VA Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Proper 16 August 25, 2024 Joshua 24:1-2a,14-18 Psalm 34:15-22 Ephesians 6:10-20 John 6:56-69

God is not fooled, by eating bread and drinking wine at the Eucharist, if not with good faith, with the spirit and with action. Lady Wisdom in the Proverbs reading sets the example by inviting everyone to the feast, especially the less fortunate, the sick, the injured, and the poor, just as St. John's does through our many outreach efforts. The Rev. Deacon Steve Busch St. John's Episcopal Churc...

When Jesus says, "...the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh,” he is saying that there is something sacred and holy about his flesh, his body, and something holy about our own.

God is with us in inconvenience, challenge, pain, and loss. Jesus is "the bread of life" not only a sign from above, but a presence among us, now and always. The Rev. Kevin Laskowski St. John's Episcopal Church, Centreville, VA Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, Proper 13 August 4, 2024 Exodus 16:2-4,9-15 Psalm 78:23-29 Ephesians 4:1-16 John 6:24-35

In today's Gospel, we see Jesus at his most miraculous, outside of the Transfiguration and Resurrection; he feeds the five thousand and walks on water. However, the crowds and the disciples resist the transformation that the miraculous introduces, trying to control it or fearing it. Rev.

The language of a shepherd and sheep is significant. The maker of heaven and earth knows you by name, has always loved you, will never give up on you, and will be with you, whatever you face. We are God’s Shepherds, called to care for the sheep of this world, through action, love, and compassion for those less fortunate, the poor, the sick, and the hungry. The Rev. Steve Busch, Deacon St. John'...
