Good Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchAgape Year Visits Good Samaritan2020-03-08 - Year A - Lent 2 - Agape Year Agape Year is a 9-month program (September to May) for recent high school graduates who seek to grow in their love and knowledge of Jesus Christ while engaging in His mission for the lost, the poor, and the uninvited both locally and globally. On March 8, Nathan Twichell, co-Director of Agape Year, visited Good Samaritan Anglican Church with two Agape Year Fellows to share about what God has been doing in their lives, both in Pittsburgh as well as in Thailand. For more information about Good...2020-03-1231 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchA Tale of Two Mountains2020-02-23 - Year A - Last Sunday of Epiphany (Transfiguration) - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Exodus 24:12-18; Psalm 99; Philippians 3:7-14; Matthew 17:1-9 Epiphany “a usually sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something” or “an appearance or manifestation especially of a divine being.” The Transfiguration reveals, yet again the fullness of who Jesus really is, and it points the way towards what he came to do. The readings this morning show us two very different but connected encounters with God on mountain tops and they show us what these two things m...2020-02-2530 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchParticipating in the Mission of God2020-02-16 - Year A - World Mission Sunday - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Isaiah 49:1-7; Psalm 67; Acts 1:1-8; Matthew 9:35-38 God is a missionary God. All mission is first and foremost God’s mission (or Missio Dei in Latin). We see this in Matthew 9:35 where Jesus, God himself, goes on mission. God invites us to participate in his mission reconcile the world to himself through prayer, sending, and going.

Christopher M. Klukas 2 Kings 22:8-20; Psalm 27; 1 Corinthians 2:1-16; Matthew 5:13-20 In the fifth chapter of Matthew, Jesus explains to his followers how he wants them (and now us) to behave in the world by using two metaphors: salt and light. He is indicating that we should be people who do good in the world. Many of us have taken this to heart and try to do good things as we are able to, but have you ever considered why we do good things? The whys (motives...2020-02-1323 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchThe Feast of the Presentation2020-02-02 - Year A - Presentation - The Rev. Carrie Klukas Malachi 3:1-4; Psalm 84; Hebrews 2:14-18; Matthew 2:22-40 The Presentation of the Lord or Candlemas is meant to be a time for us to present ourselves to the Lord. As the month of January has ended I am sure many of your New Year’s resolutions may have ended as well. Perhaps that is okay and perhaps God has a different plan for you this year. What would it look like for you to present yourself as you are right now to the Lord?...2020-02-0532 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchExposed2020-01-26 - Year A - Epiphany 3 - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Amos 3:1-11; Psalm 139:1-18; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17; Matthew 4:12-22 It can be widely assumed that most everything we do online can be tracked. You will know this if you have ever searched for something in a search engine and then you begin to see advertisements for the same kinds of products. Companies can track your purchases, location, and your digital history if you let them. Some think that they will track you even if you don’t let them! If that feels creepy to yo...2020-01-2927 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchLife in the Lamb2020-01-19 - Year A - Epiphany 2 - The Rev. Steven Edwards Exodus 12:21-28; Psalm 40:1-11; 1 Corinthians 1:1-9; John 1:29-42 Our Lord, Jesus, has so much love for us, and hope for our lives, that He offered His own, to save ours. He who created us, who called us into being, is Himself the greatest respecter and investor for the sacredness of human life. Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. He suffered and gave life so that no other substitutional sacrifice would need to be offered to sustain us...2020-01-2328 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchJesus Baptized for Us2020-01-12 - Year A - Epiphany 1 - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Isaiah 42:1-9; Psalm 89:20-29; Acts 10:34-38; Matthew 3:13-17 When Jesus comes to be baptized by John, John is confused (Matthew 3:14). Perhaps this passage confuses you as well. John’s job was to prepare the way for Jesus, the Messiah, and now Jesus was standing right there in front of him. Shouldn't Jesus have baptized John? Also, John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance (Matthew 3:11-12). Jesus was without sin, so why would Jesus need to be Baptized? Listen to hear more about what...2020-01-2328 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchA Special Star for a Special Birth2020-01-05 - Year A - Christmas 2 - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Jeremiah 31:7-14; Psalm 84; Ephesians 1:3-14; Matthew 2:1-12 It is possible that the Magi may have heard of a Jewish prophesy about a king whose birth was to be marked by a star (see Numbers 24:17). But how would a normal sign in the sky come to rest over the place where the child was. Jerusalem is only about 5 miles from Bethlehem. They could have walked there in about an hour and 45 minutes. It would be hard to tell the difference from an astronomer’s PO...2020-01-0729 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchDressed for Salvation2019-12-29 - Year A - Christmas 1 - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Isaiah 61:10-62:5; Psalm 147:12-20; Galatians 3:23-4:7; John 1:1-18 For those of you who are married, can you remember what you wore on your wedding day? If you are not married, think about another significant event in your life. We tend to wear special clothes for special occasions. In Isaiah 61:10, the speaker seems to be the servant of the Lord, the Messiah (see 61:1). Earlier in the chapter, God’s people were given “garments of praise” (61:3). Now the Servant himself is given special garments for a spec...2020-01-0327 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchHope, Peace, and Joy2019-12-24 - Christmas Eve - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Isaiah 62:6-12; Psalm 97; Titus 3:4-7; Luke 2:1-20 "Hope," "Peace," and "Joy:" this time of year we see these words written everywhere: yard decorations, television commercials, wrapping paper, and Christmas cards. These words make us feel good, like a warm blanket and a steaming peppermint latte, but what do they really mean? Imagine for a moment receiving a gift in beautiful packaging, but when you open it there is nothing inside. The words “Hope, Peace, and Joy” can be like that. We hear them, and they make...2020-01-0223 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchRisk, Sacrifice, and Trust2019-12-22 - Year A - Advent 4 - The Rev. Carrie Klukas Isaiah 7:10-17; Psalm 24; Romans 1:1-7; Matthew 1:18-25 Joseph and Mary’s story at first is messy, difficult, and oh so similar to life as we know it. How many people have gotten married under difficult circumstances? How many people continue to live in difficult marriages and circumstances? How many people remain in difficult relationships in general? Both Mary and Joseph give us a deeper understanding of what it means to be a godly woman or a godly man in this world. They give us a...2020-01-0227 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchExpectations2019-12-15 - Year A - Advent 3 (Learning Tree Sunday)- The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Isaiah 35:1-10; Psalm 146; James 5:7-20; Matthew 11:2-19 In business, it is important to underpromise and overdeliver. Sometimes this is referred to as “managing expectations.” It is important to be mindful of expectations in all of our relationships, whether business or personal. Especially in marriage. Unspoken expectations lead to lots of conflict and resentment. In the Gospel passage today, John the Baptist is in prison for speaking truth to power. John’s role was to prepare the way for the Lo...2019-12-1727 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchThe Place Where God Dwells2019-12-08 - Year A - Advent 2 (altered for 10th anniversary) - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Isaiah 11:1-10; Psalm 84; 1 Peter 2:1-10; Matthew 3:1-12 For the sons of Korah, the authors of Psalm 84, there was no better place to be than the Temple. The temple was intended by God to be an earthly representation of God’s heavenly courts. A place where heaven and earth met. Even today, when we worship it gives us a foretaste of heaven. Today, we give God thanks for this house of worship as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the co...2019-12-1228 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchWake Up!2019-12-01 - Year A - Advent 1 - The Rev.

Klukas Isaiah 2:1-5; Psalm 122; Romans 13:8-14; Matthew 24:29-44 Your car may not have an autopilot mode, but I bet you have had the experience of intending to go to a particular destination, getting lost in a conversation, and taking wrong turns because of it! Similarly, sometimes we move through life as if we have an autopilot for our lives. We can pick up sin in our lives without even realizing it. This is what happens when we are in autopilot mode. It is as...2019-12-0327 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchCount Your Blessings2019-11-26 - Thanksgiving Service - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas James 1:17-27; Psalm 65:1-8; Matthew 6:25-33 Our contemporary celebration of Thanksgiving arises from a European tradition with deep Christian roots, recognizing the blessings and provision of Almighty God either at harvest time or after deliverance from significant trouble. And yet, we forget this sometimes. We forget that God is the one who provides, and we take that burden upon ourselves. We strive after the things of this world, searching for happiness, searching for meaning, searching for peace. Jesus’ words remind us to set our anxieties as...2019-11-2714 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchThe Crucified King2019-11-22 - Year C - Christ the King - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Jeremiah 23:1-6; Psalm 46; Colossians 1:11-20; Luke 23:35-43 As Americans, we don't have much of an appreciation for the role of a King. In fact, you might say that the roots of our nations are decidedly anti-king. Our constitution was set up with a system of checks and balances to make sure that no one person could hold all the power at one time. We have a right to be afraid of earthly kings, but Jesus is a king that will never...2019-11-2622 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchLetting Go of our Creations2019-11-17 - Year C - Proper 28 - The Rev. Carrie Klukas Malachi 3:13-4:6; Psalm 98; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-16; Luke 21:5-19 Once when my son was about three years old he had spent about an hour building an incredible duplo block creation. His little sister crawled over and began to pull at his buildings. He exploded with anger and frustration. When I mentioned that it was time for lunch and therefore clean up time which meant taking his building down and putting it away he was beside himself with anger and rage. I sat on the floor with...2019-11-2028 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchIn My Flesh I Shall See God2019-11-10 - Year C - Proper 27 - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Job 19:23-27a; Psalm 17; 2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5; Luke 20:27-38 There is meaning in our suffering. When we suffer and continue to trust God, it gives us an opportunity to rely on God for the strength to make it through. It gives us an opportunity to identify with the suffering of Christ himself. There is work yet to do. There are people who rely on you, but even more important than that, you are the image of God in this world. There are people whom...2019-11-2027 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchSaints Today with Hope for Tomorrow2019-11-03 - Year C - All Saints Sunday - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Revelation 7:9-17; Psalm 149; Ephesians 1:15-23; Luke 6:20-36 If you golf, you may have golf heroes. Woodworkers have woodworking heroes. Cooks have cooking heroes. As Christians, we have Christian heroes that we call "saints." The point is not that Saints are so much holier than us and therefore must be much closer to God. All Saints were also sinners. Not perfect. The point is that they give us real, concrete examples of what it looks like to live out the Christian faith.2019-11-0632 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchWhat Do You Do With Seed?2019-10-27 - Year C - Proper 25 - Joy of Giving Up Series - The Rev.

Similarly, there are three things that we can do with money: spend it, save it, or give it. We need to do all three of these. We spend regularly on our needs and our wants. This is the easiest of the three. We save for big purchases and for rainy days, this one...2019-10-2929 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchProve It2019-10-20 - Year C - Proper 24 - Joy of Giving Up Series - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Genesis 32:3-8,22-30; Psalm 121; 2 Corinthians 8:8-15; Luke 18:1-8 Where we place our earthly treasure reveals something about what we value in our hearts. How we handle our money has a remarkably formative effect on our hearts, much more powerful than anything we say. For good or for ill. Think for a moment about your annual expenses. Where does your money go? What does it say about what you value?

But it is also a mistake to not talk about money at all. The Bible has lots to say about money and how we use it. Generosity is a heart issue and one that God cares deeply about. God is a generous God. “For God so loved the world, that he gave…” (John 3:16) Jesus gave up his life for us, as we respond to this g...2019-10-1529 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchFollowing Christ to Serve Those in Need2019-09-29 - Year C - Proper 21 - The Rev.

We are called into relationship that our lives may be more perfectly transformed by the life of Christ, our Savior. In the parable of the beggar Lazarus and the rich man, Jesus is leading us in the way of God’s love toward those in need. In God’s love for us, Christ gave himself as the undeserved favor for those in need, to gran...2019-10-0422 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchMen and Women in the Church2019-09-22 - Year C - Proper 20 - The Rev.

What is God's desire for men and women in the church? Today's Epistle from Timothy 2:1-15 gives us encouragement in prayer, holiness, and godly living. Come to Jesus in prayer, grow in the ways of the Good Shepherd and know God's peace in your life.

He responded, "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so." These words from the popular children's song of the same name communicate some of the most important things that we need to know about who God is and who we are. In this sermon, we...2019-09-1922 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchTen Years of Ministry in Middleburg!2019-09-08 - Year C - Proper 18 (altered for Homecoming) - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Deuteronomy 32:45-47; Psalm 1; Hebrews 4:6-13; Luke 14:25-35 Two important symbolic actions were taken as the foundation of our church building was poured. A copy of the Bible was placed in the foundation, and two verses were written in the slab that would support this structure: Deuteronomy 32:47 and Hebrews 4:12. The Word of God is literally the foundation of this church! But we are not just called to remember the word of God, the word of God calls us to action.

You buy batteries, water, and food; and you put down sandbags and put away the loose objects in your yard. But have you ever considered what is involved in spiritually preparing for a hurricane, or any other storm of life for that matter?

When we go to the Master and allow him access to our hearts he can heal us, show us a way forward, and give us peace. He is never done with us, there is always more that can be repaired.

Christopher M. Klukas Genesis 15:1-6; Psalm 33:10-21; Hebrews 11:1-16; Luke 12:32-40 Two similar and yet increasingly different words have been frequently used in talking about United States politics in recent years: patriotism and nationalism. Both words talk of love and affection for one's country, but nationalism has come to mean exalting your country (or your agenda) above all other countries (or agendas) with no regard for the needs of the other. The truth is, as Christians, we must love the Kingdom of God, which transcends all...2019-08-1330 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchBuilt to Last2019-08-04 - Year C - Proper 13 - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Ecclesiastes 1:12--2:11; Psalm 49:1-12; Colossians 3:5-17; Luke 12:13-21 It has often been said that hindsight is 20/20. King Solomon wrote the book of Ecclesiastes at the end of his life, looking back and reflecting on all that he had done. He was a man with no lack of resources and he wholeheartedly pursued whatever caught his attention and interest. Overall, however, he found that most of these pursuits were nothing but "vanity and chasing after the wind." What is our life is worth pursuing...2019-08-0631 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchStorming Heaven2019-07-28 - Year C - Proper 12 - The Rev.

He relented only after asking the God of the heavens and earth for each of the people. Abraham shows us a way to pray, petitioning God for the concerns of our heart. When people suffer, make bad choices, need help, and experience scary circumstances we need to storm heaven for them.

Christopher M. Klukas Genesis 18:1-14; Psalm 15; Colossians 1:21-25; Luke 10:38-42 Sometimes when we hear God's voice, it can take a long time for his promises to come to fruition. This was the case with Abraham and Sarah in the Old Testament as they waited for God to give them a son. When this happens we can be tempted to take things into our own hands or fall into despair and disbelief. God calls us to another way, patience.

There are lots of reason we might give for not helping, and some of them are probably good ones. But if we always pass by without helping, it may be evidence of a heart problem.

Christopher Klukas Isaiah 66:10-16; Psalm 66:1-8; Galatians 6:6-18; Luke 10:1-20 Our vision at Good Samaritan is to help people find God, love God, and share God. But how do we go about sharing God with others? In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus sends out 72 of his disciples into the towns where he himself was about to Go. As he sends them, he gives them some helpful advice which continues to be very applicable today as we share our faith with friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers. 2019-07-1137 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchPreserving the Faith, Engaging the Mission2019-06-30 - Year C - Proper 8 - GAFCON Sunday - The Rev.

Structures are shifting, but the faith has not changed, God is still good, and his Kingdom is still expanding.

Carrie Klukas Zechariah 12:8-10, 13:1; Psalm 63; Galatians 3:23-29; Luke 9:18-24 Sometimes asking someone, “Who do you say that I am?” can be a rather risky chance. Someone might say something hurtful or unkind. Someone might answer in a way that makes you uncomfortable. Someone might say something true that you do not want to be spoken out loud. Asking someone what people think of you opens up all kinds of possibilities. In the 9th chapter of Luke, Jesus is being vulnerable with his disciples and showing them the...2019-06-2731 minGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchGood Samaritan Anglican ChurchThe Near and Distant God2019-06-16 - Year C - Trinity Sunday - The Rev.

As Christians we believe that God is one God in three Persons. It is hard to get our mind around how this could be, and yet, this is how God has revealed himself to us.

On the Day of Pentecost we see the opposite happening, God uniting people of many nations together through the preaching of the Gospel, and each hearing in his or her own language. God loves unity, it is a major piece of his plan for redemption.

It is beautiful to see a couple come together, pledging to love one another, through good times and bad times, until they are parted by death. Every human marriage points both backwards and forwards.
