All Saints Anglican Church of Fountain Valley

All Saints Anglican Church of Fountain Valley All Saints is a parish in the Anglican Catholic Church. We represent the authentic Catholic tradition according to the Anglican patrimony. Our priest is Fr.

Our liturgy is based on the 1928 Book of Common Prayer and the Anglican Missal. Enn Auksmann. The Anglican Church in America is a traditional, historic church. We are Biblical and Sacramental; that is, centered in prayer and worship. We affirm that the Holy Bible contains all things necessary for salvation. We believe that the sacraments represent outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritu

al grace. We desire, as our Baptismal commitment says, to follow Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We believe that our present bishops have their authority delegated to them by the Laying on of Hands reaching back to the Apostles. We practice regular participation in Holy Communion. Jesus at the Last Supper instituted this Sacrament when He broke bread and drank wine with His disciples, exhorting them to do the same in remembrance of Him. We use the ancient offices found in The Book of Common Prayer. The beautiful language of our prayer book draws us closer to God. The continual use of the matchless prayers contained within The Book of Common Prayer offers us a window onto faith, holding us together as a community that meets in Jesus' name. We believe firmly that, in today's complex and often troubled world, God's love and protection are essential to a healthy physical, moral and spiritual life. It is our lasting commitment to protect the ancient treasures and teachings of the church, recognizing that these treasures provide the only true shelter for our passage through this temporal life. They are indeed gifts from God; it is our task to care for them, to preserve them and to pass them on to other faithful Christians. Every Christian stands on the shoulders of all who have gone before. As the Scripture says, “…built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone”.

The apostle Paul often calls the recipients of his letters saints. The word “saint” comes from the Latin and means someone who is holy and dedicated to God. The word “holy” is often used as a synonym for the words “pure” and “blameless,” and undoubtedly the mark of God’s saints should be that they are pure and blameless. However, let us not forget that no one can become a saint and truly holy on their own, for it is the work of God and the gift of His grace.

Christ’s royal authority is absolute, for all exists solely by His grace, and all belongs to Him. However, we must not identify Christ with some absolute monarch tyrant who rules over his subjects, but Christ’s kingship is more like how a father rules his family with authority that springs from respect and love. Christ is not a power-drunk usurper, a madman who rules by terror, nor a cunning swindler who remains in power by intrigue – no, He is a Shepherd-King who gives His life for His sheep.

A song that recently turned 55 years old has the following line: “From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.” This may seem unfair, and since the song is titled “Father and Son,” one might think that it is a criticism from a young person towards the older generation who want to impose their opinions on the others.

The Gospels tell of many occasions when someone sought Jesus. There were those who sought Him out of love – for example, Mary Magdalene on Easter morning. There were also those who sought Jesus out of selfishness – just as there are many today who love God’s miracles more than the God of miracles. And there were those who sought Jesus because they hated Him and wanted to get rid of Him.

When school children play dodgeball or any other team sport, it usually involves picking teams. Usually, the two best players are appointed captains of the opposing teams, and they take turns picking players for their teams. The ones who are picked first are proud, but the fewer there are to choose from, the more embarrassing it becomes for them. And almost always, in the end, there is one left who no one wants on their team…

Today’s Epistle also speaks of being chosen and called. It is a divine calling that is higher than being selected even for the best team in any sport. It is a calling that is higher than being awarded the Nobel Prize or being elected as a senator or president. It is a calling to live and walk as a child of God, bearing witness to Him and His grace in word and deed.

How could we know something that surpasses knowledge? Because that is what St. Paul says: “…to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge.” This is possible only when we are filled with “all the fullness of God” – the fullness that is His love. A love that requires one to comprehend its “breadth, and length, and depth, and height.” Isn’t it remarkable that love is shaped like a multidimensional cross?

When we preach the gospel, we must think not of glory or profit, but only of the salvation of souls. Our aim must not be to make followers for ourselves, but to lead sinners to Christ, that they may find forgiveness and life. We must direct the eyes of all people to where our own eyes are directed: to the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto us, and we unto the world.

This message is so important that the apostle Paul emphasizes: “Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.” The point here is not that Paul had poor eyesight and therefore had to write in big letters, but that there is no greater message than the message of the cross of Christ.

What was it that led Matthew to repentance and turning away from his previous life? Perhaps his inner doubts, dissatisfaction with what he had done with his life, played a role here. Perhaps he was increasingly plagued by the feeling of guilt for all the injustices he had done to others. But most of all, it was the love of Jesus that penetrated Matthew’s heart and never let him go.

Matthew was a publican, a tax collector. Publicans, whose job it was to collect taxes from the people, were not government officials, but private entrepreneurs who provided a tax collection service to the state. They had to earn their own money, and this often led to extortion and abuse of power – a temptation that is easy to condemn… and easy to give in to.

It is sometimes said that all people are for sale, it just depends on what’s on the price tag. Most people, most souls, are unfortunately sold for a rather low price: we have probably all been in a situation where something seems so desirable that we are tempted to give up for its sake even something that is priceless.

Saint Paul says that we must have the same mind that Jesus had: we too must be willing to give up not just anything, but our own selves; we too must be willing to become obedient to God; we too must be willing even to die if necessary. Yet God is so great in His mercy and goodness that even what may seem like an overwhelming sacrifice is actually a blessing for us – both the giving up of self, obedience to God’s will, and even death.
