  • Best fill ‘er up!
    Nov 8 2026
    1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and Matthew 25:1-13 Ah, the tardy bridegroom. Perhaps this is a stereotype… or perhaps an archetype. It’s a fine line, isn’t it? There’s no telling how many brides, some secretly, some not-so-secretly, have harbored the fear that their bridegroom would arrive late to the wedding, throwing all of their carefully made plans […] A few words from Father Kemper is made with Jetpack Podcast.

  • Redemption… by other means
    Nov 1 2026
    Revelation 7:9-17 So… what do y’all know about the Feast of All Saints? Well… it comes around on November 1st every year. Right! What else? Umm… I remember we always used to have Baptisms on All Saints’ Day! Right again! Folks on the Altar Guild will tell you that on All Saints’, they have to […] A few words from Father Kemper is made with Jetpack Podcast.

  • Will you not listen?
    Oct 25 2026
    Matthew 22:34-46 People were always asking Jesus questions. The first documented question posed to Jesus in the Bible came from his mother after she found him in the Temple teaching (at age twelve) after he had been missing for an entire day: “Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I […] A few words from Father Kemper is made with Jetpack Podcast. Full show notes and every episode at https://fatherkemper.blog/

  • Come to the banquet!
    Oct 11 2026
    Matthew 22:1-14 I remember receiving an invitation to a banquet once. It came on fancy card stock and was beautifully engraved. I was invited to—get this—Ruth’s Chris steakhouse for a sumptuous meal of fillet mignon, cooked the way only Ruth’s Chris(ssss) can do it, with my choice of tasty side dishes… and two complimentary adult-beverages.

  • Cornerstones
    Oct 4 2026
    Matthew 21:33-46 What do y’all know about cornerstones? I guess we don’t really think all that much about cornerstones these days… unless we’re commemorating some sort of edifice that we hope is going to be around for a long, long time. Most buildings come and go… we build them, we use them, we may renovate […] A few words from Father Kemper is made with Jetpack Podcast.

  • Thy kingdom come
    Sep 20 2026
    Matthew 20:1-16 It just doesn’t seem fair, does it? I mean the guys who worked all day in the vineyard getting paid the same as the “Johnny-Come-Latelies” who only worked an hour. There’s gotta be some kind of law against that. I don’t have a problem with someone in need getting a little extra from […] A few words from Father Kemper is made with Jetpack Podcast.

  • Christ, our Passover
    Sep 6 2026
    Exodus 12:1-14 “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; Therefore, let us keep the feast” (BCP 364). How many times have we recited this familiar couplet after the Fraction, just prior to receiving Holy Communion? A few times, right? For some of us, more times than we can remember. The Host, elevated and broken… the […] A few words from Father Kemper is made with Jetpack Podcast. Full show notes and every episode at https://fatherkemper.blog/

  • Being Church
    Aug 30 2026
    Romans 12:9-21 Gotta love what the Apostle Paul sets forth as the “Marks of a True Christian:” Love out loud! …God, neighbor and even strangers. Hold fast to that which is good, render to no one evil for evil. Support the weak, help the afflicted, honor everyone… these admonitions should sound familiar to you.
