2025 Diocesan Convention Sermon

“Whoever I am, Thou knowest, O God, I am Thine.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer

On the Eve of the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Justin S. Holcomb delivers a powerful sermon at the 56th Annual Diocesan Convention Eucharist, held at Trinity Episcopal Church and School in Vero Beach, Florida.

With Paul’s dramatic conversion as the backdrop, Bishop Holcomb reflects on our true identity in Christ. In a world that constantly redefines who we are—through cultural pressures, past failures, or even our own self-doubt—what does it mean to be the Body of Christ? Drawing from Paul’s words, Bonhoeffer’s writings, and deep theological insight, this sermon offers a profound reminder that our identity is secure in Christ’s love, grace, and redemption.
