In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses the parable about the 10 maidens and how some of them were not prepared for the arrival of the bridegroom. He says that the parable is about purpose, direction, and discernment. Jesus wants his followers to be ready at all times. Whenever Christ calls us to do ministry, we must be prepared.

On this All Saints Sunday, guest preacher The Rev. Canon Chuck Robertson, Ph.D, Canon to the Presiding Bishop for Ministry Beyond the Episcopal Church, discusses what it means to be a saint. Saints are those who have gone through the great ordeal. As each of us has gone through or will go through ordeal, he says, we are all saints. As saints, we should exhibit kindness which is love in action. First, he says, we should be kind to ourselves. Second, we should be kind to one another and to all those we encounter. We are blessed that we might be a blessing to others.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St.
George Episcopal Church, discusses the day’s Gospel in which Jesus is asked which commandment in the law is the greatest.  Jesus knew that this question was an attempt to set him up.  Jesus tells us that we need to love God and
love our neighbor. This “agape” love means that we are more concerned about others than ourselves.  This type of love is a decision we make and an act of will. Fr. Jim encourages us to discern where our treasure is and whether we are practicing agape love.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector
of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses the Gospel for the day which tells us a parable in which people refuse to attend the wedding banquet to which they have been invited by the king. To refuse is not only disrespectful and rude but also an act of sedition. Fr. Taylor explains that the parable is about being an active part of the Kingdom of God.  He asks us to ponder what’s more important than being in the company of God?

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector
of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses the Gospel for the day in which Jesus is asked what could have been a no-win question.  Instead, Jesus uses his answer to tell us
that we are made in God’s image and that we should give back to God the things that are God’s.
