The Epic Journey of Faith
A Sermon on Matthew 2:1-12 for Sunday, January 1, 2017 We’re about to set off on a journey of epic proportions together. Do you feel ready? I just want to warn you, it’s very likely that we’ll experience fierce cold and oppressive heat. At points we’ll be in pain. We’ll be hungry. We’ll be thirsty. We won’t be able to get as much sleep as we want. Fasten your seatbelts,…
The Christmas Gift
A Sermon on John 1:1-14 for Christmas, 2016
The Baby Changes Everything

Peace, Joy, and Hope
When we hope in God– when we look to God to order and fulfill our longings– we won’t be left empty.
Awakened and Dressed

Hold On Tight
A Sermon for November 6, 2016 on 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, 13-17. We are on a roller coaster. Don’t get swept away by wacky teachings, but hold on tight! Put your hope in the future that God has prepared for us.

A Sermon on Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4 and Luke 19:1-10 I love the story of Zacchaeus. It says he was a ruler, a rich tax collector. The world labels him a sinner. Zacchaeus seeks out Jesus– just to catch a glimpse of him. Although the crowds prevent him from seeing Jesus, Zacchaeus perseveres, degrading himself by climbing a sycamore tree. And even as Zacchaeus is…
Heart Matters
A Sermon on Luke 18:9-14 Note: The audio for this sermon was unfortunately lost (along with the device it was recorded on). We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience! We expect audio to be available again for the Sunday, October 30 sermon. What a wonderful parable Jesus tells about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. It’s meaning is so clear. It doesn’t take a bible…
Stuck in Prayer
A sermon on Luke 18:1-8. “When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” What will Jesus find in us? Will Jesus find people of prayer? Will we have persisted in resisting oppression and seeking justice through prayer and action?
