Isaiah heard it in the temple. John heard it on Patmos. We sing it every Sunday at the Table. Holy, holy, holy — who was and is and is to come. Trinity Sunday is the day we step back and ask: whose song is this, and why are we singing it? #ChristIsKing #TrinitySunday #Biblestr

Before Jesus was born, his presence was already causing joy. John leapt in the womb. Elizabeth prophesied. Mary sang the Magnificat. The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth is the gospel's first proclamation — and one of the church's most overlooked feasts. #Visitation #ChristIsKing #Biblestr https://www.mountainvicar.com/the-visitation-an-anglican-perspective/

The wicked servant’s error was not dramatic apostasy. It was the quiet assumption that the master was delayed — that the urgency had passed, the standards could relax. The coal had cooled. The lips had gone silent. That is how ministry dies. #ChristIsKing #EmberDays #biblestr https://www.mountainvicar.com/so-doing-saturday-of-summer-embertide-2026-matthew-ch-24-vv-42-to-50/

Trinity Sunday stands alone among the church's great feasts — no event to commemorate, but the eternal mystery of who God is: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One God in three persons, the foundation of everything we believe. #ChristIsKing #TrinitySunday #Christianity https://www.mountainvicar.com/trinity-sunday-an-anglican-perspective/

The prayer Jesus commands in Matthew 9:38 is answered in 10:1 — the disciples who prayed for laborers become the laborers. We cannot pray earnestly for God to send workers into the harvest without finding ourselves moving toward it. #ChristIsKing #EmberDays #Biblestr

We entered a harvest we did not plant. Someone prayed for us before we were born. Someone built this congregation before we arrived. The faithfulness of this church is the planted harvest someone else will one day reap. We plant, we water, God gives the growth. #ChristIsKing #EmberDays #Biblestr https://www.mountainvicar.com/lift-up-your-eyes-wednesday-of-summer-embertide-2026-john-ch-4-vv-31-to-38/

Four times a year, the Anglican calendar sets aside three days for fasting, prayer, and intercession for the Church's ministry. Most Anglicans have never heard of them. Here's what Ember Days are, when they fall, and how to observe them well. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #EmberDays

Jesus doesn't pray for his people to escape the world. He prays to keep them in his name and send them into it. The new creation is underway and we are its agents — kept in his name, doing kingdom work while we wait. He is still praying for us. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Eastertide

Why do you stand looking into heaven? The angels’ question to the disciples is Ascension Day’s question to the Church. He is coming back — but between now and then there is a city to return to, a commission to live out, and a blessing still in progress over us. #ChristIsKing #AscensionDay #Biblestr https://www.mountainvicar.com/he-ascended-into-heaven-luke-ch-24-vv-44-to-53/

The Feast of the Ascension celebrates not the disappearance of Jesus, but his exaltation — and not his distance from us, but the new and greater intimacy of his priestly presence before the Father on our behalf. The Feast Day still presses its claims on us today. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #AscensionDay https://www.mountainvicar.com/ascension-day-an-anglican-perspective/

Good Friday stops everything. No flowers, no music, just a bare altar and silence. In this countercultural observance, the worst day in history is called “good”—the day divine love triumphed on the cross. #ChristIsKing #GoodFriday #Biblestr
