We continue our Call and Response series by looking at the call to discipleship and how we respond to God’s call by becoming little Matthiases ourselves. Sermon Scripture: Acts 1:12–26 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away. And when they had entered, they…
We talk a little bit about love, about the economy of love that is present with God and with us, and how we should think in terms of generosity instead of in terms of scarcity Sermon Scripture: Acts 11:1–18 Now the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had…
We talk about the pressure that arises when we start to consider our own personal missions, but also the relief that in that all of those things have been given to us by a God who loves us and will be our shepherd. Sermon Scripture: Acts 20:17–38 Now from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and…
We all have those moments of surprise, both good and bad. But those moments are moments that make us think about who we are and where God might be leading us. Sermon Scripture: Acts 9:1–19 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked…
We talk about the Resurrection and our call to be witnesses to the work of the living Christ in our lives. Sermon Scripture: Acts 5:17–32 But the high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and filled with jealousy they arrested the apostles and put them…
We talk about Jesus’ kingship and what it means for us to confess Him as our King. Sermon Scripture: Philippians 2:5–9 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself,…
We talk about risk. We are called by God to risk our lives because He risked His life (and lost it!) on us. Sermon Scripture: Luke 20:9–18 And he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long…
We talk about the prodigal son and what God won’t let us talk about with Him. Sermon Scripture: Luke 15:11–32 And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided…
We talk about how repentance is God’s repair of our souls. Sermon Series: Luke 13:1–9 There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans,…
We continue our “REDIAL” series talking about when God calls us again talking a little bit about St. Patrick and a lot about how God calls to us again so that we can repent and be gathered to Him. Sermon Scripture: Luke 13:31–35 At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get…
