“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?”

“Modern Christianity tends to think of the church either as a place where individuals come to find answers to their questions or as one more stop where individuals can try to satisfy their consumerist desires. As such, Christianity becomes intellectualized rather than incarnate, commodified rather than the site of genuine community.” (James K.A. Smith) March 23, 2025 – The Third Sunday in Lent Old Testament: Psalm 63:1-8 Epistle: 1...

Modernism has left us with nothing. Back in the Enlightenment or the Age of Reason, leading thinkers believed that science, reason and logic could lead us to perfection. Reason failed. 1 Peter 1:3-5 presents the story—the Gospel word—by which the Spirit of God defines us amid all the stories swirling around us. This is the grand narrative to which Peter gives witness, that God has acted for us by enabling us to live lives of hope a...

Peter reminds his readers that their “Life Together” came from the Word of God. That word came in baptism (“you have been born again”) and in preaching (“this is the word that was preached to you”). By obeying the preached word, a working of the Spirit, they were purified (“you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth”).
That true and eternal word produces love for one another in our ever-changing lives (quoting Isaiah 40:6-8).

Jesus is literally radiating when He was transfigured in the account we read in Luke 9. In similar fashion, Moses, after his direct encounter with God on top of Mount Sinai to receive the commandments, was also literally radiating. Paul connects all these dots, wrapping us into the Story. We, too, radiate, reflecting the Lord’s glory as we are being transformed into the likeness of Jesus. As we wrap up our Radiate! series and prepa...

The story of Joseph’s life at the end of Genesis is an amazing story of how God can and does work good out of the most difficult of situations – which also echoes what St. Paul writes in the very familiar (and also powerful) Romans 8:28-39. Joseph continued to trust and God continued to work. We’ll think about circumstances we face and how we can take Joseph’s story and the Lord’s promises through St. Paul to heart, especially when...

1 Corinthians 15 is known as the great resurrection chapter of the Bible as St. Paul expounds on what the promise of the resurrection brings to us and to all people – hope! What we believe is not futile. We have hope in Christ and that hope is real. It is this gift of hope, of resurrection, of life that we are called to radiate and share with a world filled with despair, confusion, uncertainty, and hopelessness.

Isaiah, St. Paul, and Peter all acknowledge their sin before the Lord. In each case, God’s grace and forgiveness flow freely, and God demonstrates not only His willingness but His desire to use these broken people to radiate His message of forgiveness and grace to all. We, too, must acknowledge our brokenness before the Lord and before each other, and out of that brokenness, we receive healing and forgiveness and the Lord’s charge ...

We hear Jeremiah’s call from the Lord and what a powerful word that is – not only for Jeremiah but for all of us, knowing that Jesus knows us and that in Him, we have a real purpose in this life.
What’s the purpose? - Like Jeremiah, it’s to share and radiate and speak God’s message of hope and love (from 1 Corinthians 13) without fear – with boldness and confidence. Why? Because God is the one who is putting His words into our mouth...

What we hear in Nehemiah 8 is how powerful and moving God’s Word is. The Word itself can move us to tears, as well as instruct us and give us hope. That was the power of the Word to God’s people returning from exile – a power that is still very real for us today. Jesus demonstrated that fact in Luke 4 when He read from Isaiah the prophecies that He Himself would be fulfilling – the Word made flesh and the Word fulfilled in Jesus.

Isaiah 62:1-3 speak clearly about how we can’t remain quiet but how we’ll radiate for all to see – there is some beautiful imagery here. Then St. Paul begins speaking about spiritual gifts in the opening verses of 1 Corinthians 12 and how we have all received these gifts. It’s these gifts that God has given us for the express purpose of radiating His love, His Son, and His righteousness in and through us.

Pastor Glen shares about the power of baptism! God chooses us, gives us the gift of His grace and forgiveness, and empowers us through His Spirit to live a life the way He designed it to be lived...in relationship with Him, radiating and rippling His love to others.

Using Isaiah’s prophecy of the Light that “has come,” this speaks to the reality of the Lord’s presence in the throes of the exile and the hope He brought to God’s people thousands of years ago – a similar hope He continues to bring to us, knowing that this Light has indeed come and is shining brightly here and now! It speaks not only hope but radiates far beyond “God’s people” to those around the world. This, too, is a very applic...

We are consumed with worry about not being or doing enough. Christ, in his advent, meets us in our weakness and offers us mercy. Immanuel’s mission and vision include “Fearless Living.” That’s reflected in the Joshua 1 charge that the Lord gave to Joshua (and to us!). The Lord through Paul in Ephesians charges us to be careful about how live our lives – toward the good and not the bad. But when we fail, and we will, we lean into Je...

Isaiah 52 speaks of those who bring good news, proclaim peace, bring good tidings, proclaim salvation, say “Your God reigns!” It’s all pure joy and celebration! Titus 3 lays out beautifully what a pure gift Jesus is and all that He has come to bring. And John 1 reminds us, in poetic form, how Jesus is The Word who came to live and make His dwelling among us.

We fail to grasp the gift of peace that is ours in the birth of Christ. Christ has come, quieting your fears and filling your life with peace. Colossians 3:12-15 helps accent our Savior’s peace that He has come to bring on this Christmas Eve, removing fear or the need to fear. We hear elements of momentary fear throughout the Christmas story in Luke 2 and prior. But this is a night of peace, thanks to Jesus coming into the world.

We obsess over and idolize the power and influence of others. Christ is born in weakness but is greater than man, and uses his greatness to make you a member of his family.
