May 4, 2008 7th Sunday after Easter – Ascension Sunday
Hiking with Jesus through the olive groves outside Jerusalem, the followers of Jesus were soaking in the words of the kingdom from their beloved teacher and friend. These were heady, heart-filled days in the presence of the Risen One. Who could have imagined it, the one who was dead had come back to them in a new and startling way. He had presented himself to them alive, no matter that mind and heart could only try to comprehend such a marvelous mystery.

The 6th Sunday of Easter, The Rev. Brian C. Taylor
We’re coming down the home stretch of Easter season. The risen Christ has been appearing to his disciples. Soon he will ascend into heaven – in fact, we celebrate that feast this Thursday. 10 days after that he will send the Holy Spirit, which we celebrate in 2 weeks, on Pentecost.

Sermon: 5th Sunday in Easter
Passages such as our Gospel reading this morning are challenging to read and understand and, tough to explain. They feel theological and heady, repeating phrases like “coming and going, believing and knowing” There is not much action or drama, except for the questions from Peter and Philip.

April 6th Sermon Father Brian Taylor
You can imagine how dispirited Jesus’ disciples must have felt after Good Friday. A couple of days later, two of them, walking along towards the village of Emmaus, were talking it over. A stranger approached and asked them what they were discussing.
