Old Testament: Isaiah 1:1, 10-20
Epistle: Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16
Gospel: Luke 12:32-40
Sermon Title: Faith – with Unexpected Results

Hebrews 11 is the awesome “Heroes of Faith” chapter of the Bible. Reference is made to story after story of Old Testament heroes of faith. Rather than delving into one or two of these people, we’re going to take the big picture of the faith they had in the Promise and see how that compares to the faith we h...

Old Testament: Ecclesiastes 1:2, 12-14; 2:18-23
Epistle: Colossians 3:1-11
Gospel: Luke 12:13-21
Sermon Title: Where’s Your Head? In Expected or Unexpected Places?

In his letter to the Colossians, St. Paul instructs us about where we are to set our minds – on things above and not on earthly things. Then in the Gospel reading in Luke 12, Jesus tells a very poignant story about greed and contentment, giving a very practical application t...

Old Testament: Psalm 138
Epistle: Colossians 2:6-15
Gospel: Luke 11:1-13
Sermon Title: An Unexpected Gem

Prayer is an amazing gift the Lord has given to us. Many of us know the Lord’s Prayer and we can rattle it off without even thinking about it. But what would happen if we actually did think about it? That’s what we’ll explore on this Sunday, going deep into this precious, unexpected gem that Jesus gave to His disciples and to us.

In the short account of sisters Mary and Martha in Luke 10, it appears on the surface to be a pretty open-and-shut case of who was right and who was wrong (or at least needing a little course correction). But is there more going on here than meets the eye?

Old Testament: Psalm 15 
Epistle: Colossians 1:15-29 
Gospel: Luke 10:38-42 
Sermon Title: Lazy or Listening? 

As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live st...

In Luke 10, we hear Jesus telling the story of the Good Samaritan. There is a surprise here that many of us are familiar with. But it’s also important for us hear the context of this story and what prompted Jesus to tell it and then how Jesus wrapped it up. This speaks to underlying questions people today live with when it comes to so much uncertainty in our world and in our lives.

Old Testament: Amos 7:7-17 
Epistle: Colossians 1:1-...

From 2 Kings 5, we hear the account of a man named Naaman, the lead commander under the king of Aram. When Naaman is diagnosed with leprosy--a death sentence in those days--God uses some rather unlikely people to connect Naaman to not just the king of Israel but to the powerful prophet Elisha. The way Elisha brought healing to Naaman speaks to other very unexpected ways the Lord continues to work in our lives still today.

On this Sunday before our nation’s celebration of Independence Day, we hear St. Paul expounding on freedom in Galatians 5. What is real freedom? Where does it comes from? What’s the difference between what we’re celebrating on July 4th and what the Lord is offering to all who believe in Him? These are some of the questions we’ll explore.

Old Testament: 2 Kings 2:1-2, 6-14
Epistle: Galatians 5:1, 13-25

Second Reading: Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21
Gospel: John 17:20-26
Sermon Title: “Come, Lord Jesus!" John's vision ends with a plea and an assurance that the Lord is coming soon. We again have to understand God's view of time in relation to His promises, the hope He holds out for us, and the victory which is ours now and will be ours yet to come. We again have more connections to Genesis and Old Testame...

First Reading: Acts 11:1-18
Second Reading: Revelation 21:1-6
Gospel: Luke 24:13-27

Sermon Title: “A New Heaven and a New Earth”

Sermon Theme: The last two chapters of Revelation are packed, which is
why we’ll take the last three Sundays to look more closely at what is here.
Chapter 21 starts out with a bit of eschatology when we hear about “a new
heaven and a new earth.” That, coupled with the Lord’s statement from the
throne, “I am makin...

Live this week from the perspective that YOU are one of those in white
robes, standing before the throne of God, washed in the blood of the
Lamb. Let that perspective speak to how you live, how you see yourself,
how you treat others, decisions you make, and opportunities the Lord
gives you to serve Him.

First Reading: Acts 9:1-6 (7-20)
Second Reading: Revelation 5:11-14
Gospel: John 21:1-12

Sermon Theme: Throughout the book of Revelation we have these
outbursts of song and praise and worship of the Lamb. These songs and
times of worship carry a deep significance for us still today, especially
when it comes to the hope and victory we know in the Lamb. There are
angels, people, and all creation giving honor to the Lamb.

Sermon Title: “The Revelation from Jesus Christ”

Our Worthy is the Lamb series begins at the beginning!
John very clearly lays the groundwork for what this vision is which the
Lord gave to him. We’ll walk through what some of the details mean for
us when it comes to God’s framework of time, who his intended
“audience” is, the significance of beginning with ...

“The basis upon which Christians can speak to one another is that each knows the other as a sinner, who, with all his human dignity, is lonely and lost if he is not given help…. This recognition gives to our brotherly speech the freedom and candor that it needs. We speak to one another on the basis of the help we both need.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)

Many of our contemporaries alter their faith when tough times come. “I can’t believe in a God who would…” 1 Peter 1:6-9 gives insight to keep us grounded in the grand narrative of Christian salvation even when we want to cry out with Jesus, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
