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 Trinity Sunday homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that the time following Pentecost is a time to focus on the life of the church and our individual ministries. It is important for us to know that no matter how difficult life may be, God will never abandon us. Just as the Holy Trinity is unified, it is important for us to be united with the Lord, be united with each other, and be united with whatever God has set for us. We need to be open to transformation, new beginnings, and new understanding so that our relationship with the Lord will be long-standing.

On this Pentecost Sunday, The Rev. Canon C. K. Robertson, PhD, tells us that the miracle of Pentecost was not just that the many heard the Gospel in their own language but that they heard a word of hope and about the love of God that gave them a sense of belonging – a sense that they mattered. The miracle of Pentecost is the love of God, not just spoken but lived out. As beloved children of God, we are called to bear and share the love of God with everyone we meet. We are ambassadors for God and Jesus. It is our responsibility to show everyone we meet that they are the most important person on the planet. When we do this, Pentecost comes anew and the world is changed once more, one life at a time. (The Rev. Canon C. K. Robertson, PhD serves as Canon to the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, Michael B. Curry. He is responsible for Ministry Beyond the Episcopal Church. He represents the Presiding Bishop at many International and Anglican gatherings. He also works with the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church and the General Convention on World Mission.)

On this Sunday after the Ascension, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that we are one with God and others when we know God is praying for us. We are one with God when we place our lives, our speech, our demeanor, and our actions in the hands of God’s protective care. To be one with God also means we have eternal life. To be “one with God” means we understand that we can live with the assurance that God cares about us."

Understanding Gospel Love On this Mother’s Day, The Rev. Janet Richardson, Assistant to the Rector, St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that while this day is set aside to show love, as Christians we should show love on a daily basis. Love can be complicated but as true believers, we should love and share that love with others. In our faith walk, we are called to love others for who they are and not for what they look like. It is impossible to love God and hate your neighbor. With love leading the way, we can solve anything including the major challenges facing the world.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that for Jesus, the kingdom is now, it is "in the midst of us." In this passage (John 14: 1 – 14) he is speaking to his troubled disciples who need both comfort and motivation to sustain the faith. I believe he meant the reality of a peaceful existence, peace of mind, or harmony of body, mind and spirit. For later in the chapter he said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you." Peace is not just a far away goal. It can also be real in the moment. Like everything else we do we have to make room for peace. We have to schedule time for prayer, rest and relaxation. It is time that gives birth to creativity and new life."

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that Jesus is the doorway to life. He is both the gateway to freedom during the day and the security guard at night. Our challenge is to be able to find that door so we won’t get hurt and we can experience the "abundant" life God wants us to have. In this life God is the path. God is the doorway to security and freedom. God protects us and leads us where we need to go. Our happiness and fulfillment depend on our willingness to allow God to help us. We will surely know where to turn by being genuinely tuned into and trusting that God is truly the doorway to life.

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that our call in life, our reason for being, is to make Christ manifested, revealed, known, and seen. Jesus is the image, the exact reflection of God. So let us manifest Jesus. Let us reveal that we want to “Walk As A Child Of The Light.”, God’s light. As it says in our Communion hymn, “God set the stars to give light to the world. The star of my life is Jesus.” Let us be manifested in Christ, in every aspect of our lives, and let His light shine through us. .

In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that Jesus treats the woman at the well as a whole person. He makes no judgment about her in any way. Jesus crossed barriers with His mission and message. In fact, the disciples were astonished that he was speaking with a woman. Jesus’ encounter impacted her so deeply, she told others, “Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done!“ Jesus doesn’t say to her, "Go and sin no more," which implies he didn’t see her as sinful. But he saw her as a child of God in need and thirsty. In need of God’s spirit for acceptance and to be satisfied. Her self-worth is restored, and she has a new sense of dignity. Her spirit has been refreshed and her dignity restored."

In this homily, The Rt. Rev. Gregory O. Brewer*, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida, discusses the claim that Jesus makes upon us. What we have control over in our lives is very small. Church should be a place where we can admit our foibles and know that we can rely on God and his mercy. God sees all of who we are and shows us his love and mercy anyway. We need to know that we are deeply forgiven.
