Our sermons are only a part of our Sunday morning, but they are an important part – they are the Word of God presented to us in our context so that we can repent, seek to amend our lives, and receive God’s grace through the power of the Gospel.
We start our series “God of the Goofs” by talking about Peter and his failed “water walk” and finds Jesus rescuing him – something showing him, and us, who Jesus really is. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 14:22–33 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he…
We talk about hunger and how we are both fed and given the responsibility to feed others with the gifts of God’s Kingdom. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 14:13–21 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on…

We talk about when we need to bring bad news, and how Jesus really is good news. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 10:34–42 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father,…
We talk about how our language ties us to things, and how we are tied to the Law and to the Gospel as Christians.
We consider what it means to be God’s people, His royal priesthood, His holy nation, His beloved disciples – even when we don’t knock out everything on our to-do list.
We talk about Trinity and authority. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 28:16–20 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
