Calvary ~ St. George's Sermon Podcast

Jesus’s prayers and supplications to his Father in heaven gave him the strength to endure his passion so that he might become our source of grace, mercy, and eternal salvation.

God doesn’t deal with the sin of the world by instituting a program of moral improvement. Nor does God work by micromanaging evil. Rather, from the cross, we observe God drowns evil in a deluge of grace, mercy, and forgiveness. God sends his Son in the flesh to put sin to death once and for all.

It is not in our achievements, but in our weaknesses, that God's power is brought to its full, glorious display.
