3rd Sunday in Lent
Pastor George Samiec
The best spoilers of all 13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, […]
2nd Sunday in Lent
Pastor George Samiec
Don’t look at me! I’d like you to meet Jesus! I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you: You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel! […]
1st Sunday in Lent
Pastor George Samiec
Why does it have to be so violent? 9In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a […]
Ash Wednesday
Pastor George Samiec
Grace and peace to us from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Reflecting on words Jesus said on the cross – “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34) – let’s pray: Heavenly Father, sanctify us in your Word, your Word is truth. (Amen.) Dear Christian Friends, […]
Transfiguration
Pastor George Samiec
Getting to the centre of things 12 Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, 13 not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. 14 But their minds were hardened. For to […]

1 Corinthians 9:16-27 Living the Gospel 16 For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my […]
4th Sunday after The Epiphany
Pastor George Samiec
Living between public doctrine and pious opinion 1 Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up. 2If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. 3 But if anyone loves God, he is […]
St Timothy, Pastor and Confessor
Pastor George Samiec
Always moving 11 But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 […]
2nd Sunday after The Epiphany
Pastor George Samiec
‘Speak, Lord, your servant is listening!’ 1 Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD in the presence of Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision. 2 At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, […]
The Baptism of Our Lord
Pastor George Samiec
When the ears and eyes differ 4John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 Now John was […]
