Matthew 15:21-28/Romans 11:13-24 Why does Jesus seem to reject the Canaanite woman—and even compare her to a dog—before praising her extraordinary faith? What initially appears to be one of the more troubling encounters in the Gospels becomes, when read in the light of Scripture, a remarkable demonstration of faith. The woman understands God’s ancient promise to bring the nations into His family, and she trusts Jesus as the Messiah who will fulfil it. Her story points us towa

Jonah 2:8 - Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love Every idol makes a promise. Whether we look for security in money, identity in success, or satisfaction in the things of this world, we are tempted to trust created things to give us what only God can provide. Reflecting on Jonah 2, Rev. Canon Sergio Sapunar explores the sobering truth that when we cling to idols, we do not simply choose something—we forsake something: the steadfast love, merc

Romans 8:26–34 - Sunday 26th july Romans 8 contains both one of Christianity’s most comforting promises and one of its most debated passages. Exploring Paul’s “Golden Chain” alongside Article XVII of the Thirty-Nine Articles, we discover that predestination is not intended to produce anxiety or endless speculation, but what our Anglican tradition calls “sweet, pleasant, and unspeakable comfort”: the assurance that our salvation rests ultimately upon the faithfulness of God.

The most beautiful places on earth awaken something deep within us—a longing for a world more beautiful, more whole, and somehow more like home. Romans 8 tells us that creation itself shares this longing, groaning for the day when God will make all things new. Yet Christians are not simply waiting for that day. We are invited to join God’s work of restoration now: growing as disciples, loving one another deeply, caring for the poor and forgotten, and bringing the life of His

Discover the church, worship, and tradition that helped form one of Christianity’s most beloved voices. Millions of people have encountered Christianity through C. S. Lewis. Through Mere Christianity, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, and his many other works, Lewis presented a faith that is intellectually serious, imaginatively compelling, and deeply rooted in the historic Christian tradition. ​ But Lewis was not simply a generic Christian thinker. He was an A

Rooted in tradition. Centered on Christ. Open to all. Anglicanism is best understood not simply by reading about it, but by experiencing it. At Grace Anglican Fellowship, you will find worship that is reverent, joyful, deeply biblical, and rooted in the historic Christian faith. We gather each week to hear God’s Word, pray together, sing the great hymns of the Church, and receive Holy Communion. Our services follow the Book of Common Prayer, giving our worship a rhythm and

Holding together the riches of the ancient Church and the insights of the Reformation. Anglicanism emerged from the English Reformation, when the Church in England was renewed according to the teaching of Holy Scripture. The Reformers did not seek to create a new church, but to restore the ancient Church to the truth of the Gospel—removing errors that had developed over time while preserving all that was biblical, historic, and good. For this reason, Anglican theology is thor

The Book of Common Prayer: Scripture arranged for worship The Book of Common Prayer is at the heart of Anglican worship. It is not a substitute for the Bible, nor is it merely a collection of human prayers. It is best understood as the Bible arranged for worship. The overwhelming majority of its words come directly from Holy Scripture. Its services are woven together from the Psalms, the Gospels, the Epistles, the Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and countless other bib

What does it mean to be adopted by God? Drawing on the Roman practice of adoption, St. Paul paints a breathtaking picture of the Christian life. Once separated from God, we have been welcomed into His family, clothed with a new identity, made heirs with Christ, and given the Holy Spirit as the assurance that we truly belong.
