Sermons from St. Anthony of the Desert Mission: Part Two




Musings from the High Desert show

Summary: This week Fr. Gabriel again works with the Epistle lesson from the final chapter of I Corinthians, chapter 16, focusing only on verses 13 and 14, where Paul gives us one of his wonderful nutshell lessons that encompass the gist of what he has been saying throughout the letter. (Parenthetically listeners might want to know that Fr. Gabriel grounds his proclamation in study of the text, meditation upon the conclusions of that study, and then he constructs an outline for preaching. He uses notes but no full manuscript in order to achieve a closer rapport with the congregation.)
