God’s goal is not to cast us out into darkness but to gather us all to him in eternity.
Sermons by The Rev. Michael Cannon
I want us all to have the courage and commitment to make the changes that we need to make. Change can often be difficult, awkward, and uncomfortable.
But Mary’s “Yes” demonstrates that joy comes when we give ourselves over to the divine purpose.
What we need to know is that God’s compassion, his loving energy toward the needy, propels all our Apostolic activities.
Trusting Jesus is joyful.
….That to enjoy eternal life with God, we have to receive that salvation, accept the spirit, and be born from above, anew, again, from the heart.

Today we celebrate the day above all days in our faith. This is the day we remember and proclaim the foundational event of our faith: the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.
