Messages of Hope from the Heart of Jacksonville

Welcome to the sermon podcast of St. John’s Cathedral, an affirming and inclusive community rooted in the vibrant Urban Core of Jacksonville, FL. Each week, we share thoughtful, inspiring messages that speak to the challenges and hopes of everyday life — grounded in scripture, guided by love, and focused on the transformative power of faith.

During this pledge season (Sept. 14 - Oct. 26), we invite you to consider supporting the ministries of St. John's Cathedral with a one-time or recurring gift. Learn more here.

At St. John’s, we believe that God’s grace is for everyone. No matter who you are or where you come from, you’ll find a home here — a place to grow spiritually, connect deeply, and serve the world with compassion.
