Sermon for January 11, 2026
A reflection on St. Paul’s words in Ephesians about the mystery of Christ, now revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. Our homes, cars, and savings will all pass away, but our souls are eternal, and like the treasure hidden in a field and the pearl of great value in Matthew 13, God’s truth is worth giving up everything to gain. That truth is ours to claim through Christ’s Church, yet living it takes real effort. Three lessons stand out: the Christian life requires daily effort, it is a team sport lived with one another, and it calls us to remain students of the faith for our whole lives.
