Christ the King Anglican Church - DenverAbide in Christ: The True Vine | John 15 SermonWhat does it really mean to “bear fruit” as the church?

Christ the King Anglican Church - DenverThe Sensual Fool: When Pleasure Pulls Us Off Course | Proverbs SeriesThis week at Christ the King Anglican Church, we continue our summer series exploring God’s wisdom in Proverbs—not just as ancient advice, but as a living path toward what is good, true, beautiful, and whole.This message focuses on the Sensual Fool—someone who drifts from wisdom by following appetite, impulse, and escape. Drawing from Proverbs 7 and other Scriptures, we reflect on how the pursuit of comfort, affirmation, and pleasure can slowly pull us away from the life God desires for us.These patterns often feel normal—even harmless. But beneath the surface are deep...

Christ the King Anglican Church - DenverLuke 19:1-10 - Zacchaeus - SermonIn this message about the encounter between Jesus and Zacchaeus, we focus on how to respond to God with abundant joy.

In this message, Jesse walks through the chapter and points out the ways that Jesus leads us into lives of freedom and service -- two seeming opposed ideas. In the end, our response can be like the leper, who realizing how much Jesus did for Him was eager to throw Himself into service for Jesus.

It's really amazing that God would covenant with us. As His church, we walk in this covenant relationship together with Him and with each other.

Christ the King Anglican Church - DenverSermon - Faithfulness in Exile - Jeremiah 29As we continue to walk as a people in exile, perhaps more and more estranged from the surrounding culture, God calls us to trust in Him and be faithful. The advice Jeremiah gives to exiles in this passage may not seem "revolutionary" or sound like great rally points, but God most often works through faithful dependence on Him. Building houses, planting gardens, giving in marriage, living to bless the city.
