    Small Seeds, Soil of Injustice: Being Wheat Among the Weeds

    In a world overwhelmed by systemic brokenness, this sermon explores how tiny, incremental acts of faith possess a concrete power to alter reality. By weaving together Jesus’s forgotten parables with the legacy of Desmond Tutu, it offers a refreshing reminder to stop carrying the anxiety of fixing the entire field and simply trust God with the final harvest.

    Both Seed and Soil

    In "Both Seed and Soil," the speaker challenges a purely individualistic reading of the Parable of the Sower, urging the congregation of St. Anne's to view faith through the lens of community and narrative theology rather than rigid material metrics. By reframing the parable as a cyclical, immediate invitation to grace, the sermon calls listeners to recognize that they are simultaneously the seeds being cultivated by God and the rich soil responsible for helping others flourish.

    Do, Say, Follow: The Fullness of Discipleship - June 28, 2026

    In the sermon Do, Say, Follow: The Fullness of Discipleship, Fr Jon explores what it means to be a true disciple by breaking the concept down into three active pillars: doing what Christ did, speaking His truth, and matching His steps in the present day. Ultimately, the message challenges the congregation to embrace a hyper-local commissioning, living out this holistic faith directly within their immediate communities and neighborhoods.

    Teppanyaki, Waffle House, and Transformed Eyes - June 21, 2026

    This sermon uses the lighthearted, fresh perspectives of international travelers experiencing American staples like Waffle House to illustrate how we can easily become blinded by our own familiar routines and comforts. By connecting this cultural openness to Jesus’ challenging teachings in the Gospel of Matthew, the preacher calls on the congregation to reorder their relationships and see their own lives, families, and communities through transformed, kingdom-oriented eyes.
