About This Site

Welcome to this ministry of Scripture, prayer, and worship. This site offers sermons, studies, and daily offices to help God’s people “behold the beauty of the Lord” (Psalm 27:4) and to be transformed by “the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6).

Here you will find audio recordings of Daily Morning and Evening Prayer from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, as well as Biblical sermons in both written and audio form. May this ministry draw all who visit it closer to God, deepening your worship in the beauty of holiness and your joy in Christ, our Savior.

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. (II Corinthians 3:18)
