A Prayer for Central KY Anglicans

Prayers to be used in Storms at Sea.

O MOST powerful and glorious Lord God, at whose command the winds blow, and lift up the waves of the sea, and who stillest the rage thereof. We thy creatures, but miserable sinners, do in this our great distress cry unto thee for help: Save, Lord, or else we perish. We confess, when we have been safe, and seen all things quiet about us, we have forgot thee our God, and refused to hearken to the still voice of thy word, and to obey thy commandments: But now we see, how terrible thou art in all thy works of wonder; the great God to be feared above all: And therefore we adore thy Divine Majesty, acknowledging thy power, and imploring thy goodness. Help, Lord, and save us for thy mercy's sake in Jesus Christ thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

The Gospel in Galatians

In our study on Galatians, this is exactly what we're learning. The gospel is that Jesus essentially says, "Yo Teach...I got this one!" You can't possibly be good enough to earn favor with God. But you can turn a grateful heart to what He's done for you!

If you need to hear the gospel afresh, join us this Sunday at the Louisville Anglican Prayer Fellowship.

Sermon Galatians 2 LAPF - Fr. Chris Larimer from Fr. Chris Larimer on Vimeo.

This is the second of a series on Galatians that I'm be preaching before the Louisville Anglican Prayer Fellowship. The text is Galatians 1:11-2:10 (ESV). It also reflects on the diversity found within ACNA, centered on a unity in the gospel. And it discusses - briefly - the nature of cultural absolutism and imperialism seen in recent discussions about the Anglican Communion (especially TEC and the "African intervention").
