  • The Gospel Opens the Door: Cornelius and the Spirit’s Surprise
    2025/05/18

    In this week’s episode, Father John Allen brings us into the radical unfolding of God’s welcome through the story of Cornelius, a Roman centurion, and Peter, the apostle. Preaching from the Book of Acts, Father John reflects on how the early Church wrestled with including people who were different—Gentiles, outsiders, and seekers of all kinds.


    What happens when the Holy Spirit disrupts our expectations? What does it mean for the Church to follow God’s lead instead of drawing lines in the sand? In a sermon full of humor, wisdom, and depth, Father John reminds us that the same Spirit who fell on Cornelius and his household is still breaking down barriers today.


    This is a message for anyone wondering if there is room at the Table—for them, for others, for all.

    On this Fourth Sunday of Easter, Father Geoff invites us to tune our hearts to the voice that truly matters—the voice of the Good Shepherd. Drawing from the Gospel of John and the nature of sheep, he challenges our habits of selective hearing and spiritual distraction. In a world full of noise—from city streets to global headlines—how do we train ourselves to hear Christ’s message of peace, love, and salvation? This Mother’s Day, may we remember the voices that shaped us—and rediscover the one voice that leads us home.

    On this Third Sunday of Easter—May the 4th be with you—Father Geoff invites us into a deeper reflection on the call to discipleship through the lens of Peter’s redemption and Saul’s transformation. With echoes of Star Wars and the Gospel of John, this sermon challenges us to resist the pull of cynicism and instead choose love, hope, and courageous action. “Feed my lambs,” says the risen Christ—not just once, but three times. It’s a call we’re meant to hear daily. Join us as we reflect on how fear, love, and mission shape the Christian way—on May 4th and forever.

Join us as we journey deeper into the mystery of resurrection and the ministry we are called to share.
