Hosanna Means Help Us
Sermons from Grace Cathedral
What does Hosanna really mean? On Palm Sunday, we shout “Hosanna in the highest”—but this ancient word is not a cheer of celebration. It is a cry for help: “Save us, we pray.” In this sermon, we explore how that cry Is answered in impossibly to imagine ways, from Psalm 118 to the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in Gospel of Matthew to our own day. In a time marked by fear, division, and loss of trust, “Hosanna” becomes our own prayer. Drawing on voices as diverse as John Calvin, Mikhail Bulgakov, and Maya Angelou, this sermon reflects on: • Our need for help in a fractured...

Sermons from Grace Cathedral

In this powerful Lenten sermon from Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, Malcolm Clemens Young explores the raising of Lazarus (John 11) and the deeper meaning of resurrection—not just as life after death, but as a transformed way of seeing and living now. Drawing on the Gospel of John, contemporary historian Ana Racquel Minian, Jon Levinson, Kevin Madigan, Athanasius and early Christian witness, this sermon wrestles with a pressing ethical question: Is it ever acceptable to cause someone to suffer for the sake of...

The Very Revd Andrew Tremlett
Sermons from Grace Cathedral
The Very Revd Andrew Tremlett Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral, London UK "But we speak God’s wisdom, a hidden mystery" (1 Cor. 2.7) At the heart of the Christian gospel is Christ crucified – a message which baffles the wise and the powerful. But how does this Gospel speak into an era of deep cultural change, where the old norms are passing away before our eyes and yet the future is uncertain. St Paul encourages to ‘own’ the message of redemption; to realise that this Gospel will confound many; and, as we prepare for Lent, to know that Christ’s redeeming love begins in the...
