Gratitude and Heresy and an Invitation to Sermon Comments and Questions

We are now posting the sermons on mp3 at our church website (http://www.allsaintsanglicanbr.org/). Here is an excerpt from this past Sunday's sermon:

"Q: Isn't it sufficient to simply say I love Jesus and Jesus loves me?
To this question I ask this follow up: Which Jesus? The Jesus of the Scriptures? The Jesus who is the 2nd person of the Triune Godhead, the Jesus who spoke all things into existence?

Or the Jesus who was just a prophet, the Jesus who did not really die on the Cross, the Jesus who never rose from the dead, the Jesus who was just one really good man among many good men.

Or the Jesus who is fully man and fully God? The Jesus that is in perfect union with the Father and the Holy Spirit? The Jesus who is not just in relationship with the Father but is of the same substance as the Father... one in the same in their essence. It's important ...
Because THAT is the Jesus who died for your sins and mine...That is the God who loves us with such a love such a compassion that if we were to really consider it we would weep in thanksgiving..."

If you listen to a sermon or were in church on Sunday and have questions or comments post them here.
