We kick off both our Annual Focus (Called by the Gospel) and our Advent sermon series (Christmas Calling) with a sermon that really looks at a small line from Jeremiah 33 – “This is the name by which it shall be called, ‘The Lord is our Righteousness’” and how that relates to our vocations. Sermon…
We finish up not only our “Communion of Saints” series but the entire “We are the Body” annual focus with a repeated Gospel reading from Mark where we talk about being God’s household, and how being in the house is good news. Sermon Scripture: Mark 13:24–37 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will…
We count down to the 2nd to last Sunday of the Church year and start looking beyond our own lives to heaven and the Resurrection by asking ourselves some tough questions about our expectations for the afterlife and what God promises us. Sermon Text: Mark 13:1–13 And as he came out of the temple, one of…
We talk about the widows of 1 Kings and Mark 12 and what it means for us to be forgiven and renewed by a Jesus whose forgiveness for us is everlasting. Sermon Scripture: Mark 12:38–44 And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like…
In the second sermon in our “Communion of Saints” series about the 3rd article of the Creed and the Holy Spirit’s work in the Church – we talk about All Saints Day and comforting and our mourning with our experience of the beatitudes. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:1–12 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain,…

We continue our “In One Body” series by talking about a reading from Ephesians that is considered offensive to many people, but we dive into it and look at what it means for us to be Christians, husbands, wives, and single persons. Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 5:22–33 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.…
Today we talked about wisdom and advice, and how God’s best piece of advice isn’t advice at all, but is the wisdom of the Cross that says “you are forgiven”. Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 5:6–21 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of…
We talk about what it means to be a part of the Body by talking about how it is like theft when we don’t function as our place in the Body. Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 4:17–32 Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in…
We talk about the Ascension, what God has given us in terms of responsibilities to serve others in the Church, and how it is a clear sign of His love for us that He trusts us with His Church. Sermon Scripture: Ephesians 4:1–16 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a…
