We are Easter people. And while this doesn’t “feel like” Easter, that doesn’t matter. Easter is a fact. Easter is a movement. Easter conquers. Christ has risen! He has Risen Indeed! Alleluia! Sermon Scripture: Matthew 28:1–10 Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other…
We continue our series about who we are in relation to certain Biblical characters, in relation to our fellow disciples, and in relation to Jesus. Today we talk about Lazarus and how his entombment shows us our own (during quarantine and out), and how Jesus calls us out into true life. Sermon Scripture: John 11:1–45…
We talk about Jesus healing the man born blind in John 9 and how we might be looking at the world a little differently now, and how Jesus’ work in our lives helps us see the world differently. Sermon Scripture: John 9 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his…
We talk about how Jesus walked into a situation that was normally marked by “social distancing” but that He disregarded the anxiety and connected with the woman at the well. Sermon Scripture: John 4:1–42 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus…

What is the hardest thing to give up? We explore that question as it relates to Lent, spiritual practices, and our own tendencies to try to justify ourselves. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 17:1–9 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by…
We talk about how Jesus ramps up the effect of the Law and how that’s actually a good thing because it assures us that our salvation is only possible by His grace. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:17–37 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to…
We talk a little bit about the product of Christianity and what it is that God is offering to the world in His Son.
We continue with our Epiphany series, Made (for Discipleship) as we talk about the “contagion” of the Gospel. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 4:12–25 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so…
