Commandments 3 and 4 this week in our series on the 10 commandments. God's personal word to his Bride, for her delight and good.

Our sermons during Lent will be walking through the 10 commandments, focusing on them as God's divine will for his bride; for her good and her delight. This week: Commandments 1 + 2.

After two weeks of travel we are back. The last Sunday in Epiphany is called 'Transfiguration Sunday' as we focus on the account of Jesus' transfiguration in Matthew 17. Here we see the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Sinners like Peter, sinners like us are invited to "Stand, and have no fear" as Jesus, the Lord of the Law and Prophets fulfills them on our behalf.

This week we look at Paul's warning and rebuke to the Corinthian church against the anti-epiphany of quarreling and divisions in the church. This is remedied by paying attention the deep problems that cause divisions.

This week we look at Exodus 12 and John 1. Here we see God's design for generational faithfulness -- the light of God being spread from fathers to children, brother to brother, and neighbor to neighbor.

We are following the lectionary for the next season at Heritage. This week: the baptism of Jesus in Matthew 3 and what this tells us about the meaning of our baptisms.

We continue (and finish!) in Christmas with a look at what it means that Jesus is fully man. The gospel would not be the gospel if Jesus did not live, die, and rise as fully God and fully man.

This Christmas Tide we are taking two Sundays to unpack the gospel implications of Jesus' incarnation. He is fully God and fully man -- what does it mean and why does it matter?

We look at Matthew 1 and Isaiah 7 and see how God works within the covenant of marriage and His covenant with David's family to bring about Christmas!

Advent continues with the Jesus' conversations with John the Baptist's disciples, his following crowd, and the generation that would reject him. In all, refocusing on Christ and His Kingdom.

In this Second Sunday of Advent we look at the role and importance of repentance as we wait for God. John the Baptist's message still applies for us today, repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

It's new year at Heritage Anglican Church! We begin again with the first Sunday of Advent. This week begin to consider how we wait. We wait for the 2nd coming of Christ the way He told us to in Luke 24 and 25. Active, hopeful, and obedient.

This last Sunday marks both the beginning of the church year with the feast of Christ the King AND it marks one year of Heritage Anglican Church meeting together in Puna! This week we see Jesus as the messiah and King we desperately need. Our response to Christ echoes the thief on the cross -- see his beauty, humble ourselves before his authority, and receive his mercy.

This is the last sermon in the Book of Acts for this year! We finished chapter 9 before heading into Advent with Christ the King Sunday next week. Here we see that Christ is working in the life of his church, in his body, for the redemption of the world. In his Church, in the Body of Christ, God is baring his holy arm and all the ends of the earth will see His salvation!

We have two more Sundays at Heritage looking at the Book of Acts before we set it aside till next Ordinary Time! This week we look at the converted life of Saul and how it begins and ends with an encounter with Jesus Christ.

Heritage Anglican continues to study the book of Acts during Ordinary Time. This week we look at the story of Ananias going to Saul. The church is called by God to trust his good will and plan so that the glory of God is seen and the mission of God moves forward in the world.

This week we look at the beginning of Saul's conversion story. He is the enemy of God who is loved by defeat. This is what the love of God looks like to the sinner raging against the Body of Christ.

Continuing in the book of Acts during Ordinary Time, we look at story of Phillip and the Ethiopian Eunuch. See how Jesus brings the ultimate outsider into the family of God.

Still in Samaria, the gospel of Jesus Christ confronts the fixed false identity of Samaritan separatism and the forged false identity of Simon the Magician.

The Gospel goes out to Samaria and conquers both the lies of magic and the hearts of those trapped by it.

Heritage is studying the book of Acts this summer. This Sunday we finished the three sermons on the account of Stephen's martyrdom in Acts 7. This week, what does it look like to die for (and live for) King Jesus.

Heritage Anglican is in the book of Acts during Ordinary Time. This week we have part two of a three week mini-series on Stephen: Witness. We see that faithfully following Jesus will bring trouble and that trouble brings a chance to witness to the salvation of God. Stephen both challenges us to be bold in our witness and convicts us by the words of his witness.

Heritage Anglican is studying the book of Acts during Ordinary Time. We begin the story of Stephen this week with the start of three sermon series on Stephen: Trouble -- Witness -- and Martyrdom. This week: Trouble. Following Jesus faithfully will being trouble in your life. What does it means to follow Jesus faithfully? What does this trouble look like? And what is our hope in trouble?

Heritage Anglican is studying the book of Acts during Ordinary Time. In the beginning of Acts 6 we see the church struggling with the internal threat of partiality -- favoritism within the church family. The Holy Spirit, through the Apostles responds with wisdom and clarity to overcome this threat and continue to be a true witness to the goodness of God who shows no partiality (Deut. 10).

Heritage Anglican is studying the book of Acts during Ordinary time. This week Pastor Mark Brians from All Saints Anglican in Honolulu (HA's sending church!) preaches on the victory of Christ seen in the life of the Apostle's before the Sanhedrin in Acts 5.

Heritage is studying the book of Acts during Ordinary time. This week, we see the Sadducees acting out of an sense of deep panic and the apostles acting out of a deep sense of peace.

Heritage is studying the book of Acts during Ordinary Time. All humans are looking for divine action, we all long to know that God is among us and is saving us and we really long to see evidence of that in miraculous 'signs and wonders.' This week we see two always present wonders for the christian: the presence of God in his Church and the grace of God in saving us. All other temporary miracles are signs pointing to these permanent miracles.

Heritage is studying the book of Acts during Ordinary Time. This week, we have the difficult story of Ananias and Sapphira. We see that the early church (the gathering of believers) is rooted in the gospel, sustained by the Holy Spirit, abounding in good works, and defended by God.

Heritage is studying the book of Acts during Ordinary Time this year. This week, we see the believers praising God for his sovereign reign and asking for His glory to be seen in the face of threats and fears.

Heritage is studying the book of Acts during Ordinary time this year. This week we see Peter and John speak and respond to the threats from the temple rulers with boldness rooted in the gospel.

Heritage is studying the book of Acts during Ordinary time. This week the Peter and John preach to the rulers of the temple. The rulers find themselves opposing Jesus, his resurrection, and the blessings of that resurrection -- all because they crave control above all else. There is hope here for those who struggle with letting God be in control.

Heritage is studying the book of Acts during ordinary time. This week we hear the sermon preached by Peter to the jews in the temple after the lame man was healed at the Beautiful Gate. Hear we see Jesus proclaimed as the center and hero of redemption history, and the gospel offered as repentance and turning to Christ as the hero and center of our stories.

Heritage is studying the book of Acts during ordinary time. This week, Jesus, through Peter and John, shows his grace and mercy to lame man at the Beautiful Gate. He who is marked forever by sin and unable to enter the presence of God is healed and restored to worship God and be living testament to the mighty works of God!

The end of Peter's sermon on Pentecost brings an invitation into the promise of repentance and baptism.

Fr. Mark Brians preached at Heritage this week on the gospel hope in the old testament prophet, Zechariah.

Pentecost fulfills Old Testament hopes, births a gathering of people empowered by God the Holy Spirit, and is still crucial today for the proclamation of the gospel and making disciples.

Jesus is King! Let the anxious heart dethrone itself and rest in God.

Our blindness to the gospel is healed when Jesus shows us himself as the center of redemption history.

Our deepest need for belonging and home is fulfilled in our Good Shepherd's calling, redeeming, and keeping us.

Bishop Ken visited Heritage this past week and gave the sermon on Sunday. Here John weeps, the Lamb Who is Worthy appears, and heaven resounds in worship.

The presence and Word of the resurrected Jesus transforms fear into vision and doubt into worship.

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death! The resurrection of Jesus Christ is center of history that redeems the past and present, and gives hope for the future. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the center of our lives, giving light and redemption to our past, power for our present, and great hope for our future! Alleluia!

Audio from our Saturday Vigil homily (small sermon). This is part of the "triduum," the three days before the celebration of Easter. The Saturday Vigil remembers how Jesus rose from the dead in the darkness between Saturday and Sunday -- on this night we hear the story of Redemption throughout scripture and we announce the resurrection -- very loudly.

Audio from our Good Friday Service. Part of the "triduum," the three days before the celebration of Easter. On Good Friday we remember the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Audio from our Maundy Thursday service: Part of the "Triduum," the three days before the celebration of Easter. Tonight we remember the events of the last supper of Jesus and his disciples.

Praying for the grace to see and hear Jesus as he really is this week, not as we want him to be.

Fr. Mark (pastor at All Saints Honolulu) preaches on the parable of the wicked tenants and its connections to Isaiah 5.

Christ calls us home to the feast of repentance. The proud will keep themselves out, the humbled come and eat!

Who goes in the door? Why is it narrow? And why is it open at all?

Jesus faithfully walks in the wilderness on behalf of faithless Israel...and us.
