Sermon for Pentecost Sunday, 2026

Article XXIII: Of Ministering in the Congregation

Fr. Andrew's sermon on Article XXIII of The 39 Articles of Religion: Of Ministering in the Congregation, preached on the Fourth Sunday after Trinity (6.28.2026). "It is not lawful for any man to take upon him the office of public preaching or ministering the sacraments in the congregation before he be lawfully called and sent to execute the same. And those we ought to judge lawfully called and sent which be chosen and called to this work by men who have public authority given unto them in the congregation to call and send ministers into the Lord's vineyard."

Article XXII: Of Purgatory

Fr. Andrew's sermon on Article XXII of The 39 Articles of Religion: Of Purgatory, preached on the Third Sunday after Trinity (6.21.2026). "The Romish doctrine concerning purgatory, pardons, worshiping and adoration as well of images as of relics, and also invocation of saints, is a fond thing vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God."

Article XXI: Of the Authority of General Councils

Fr. Andrew's sermon on Article XXI of The 39 Articles of Religion: Of the Authority of General Councils, preached on the Second Sunday after Trinity (6.14.2026). "General councils may not be gathered together without the commandment and will of princes. And when they be gathered together – forasmuch as they be an assembly of men, whereof all be not governed with the Spirit and Word of God – they may err, and sometimes have erred, even in things pertaining unto God. Wherefore things ordained by them as necessary to salvation have neither strength nor authority, unless it may be declared that they be taken out of Holy Scripture."
