Brewing Theology With Teer Hardy

Rev. Teer Hardy Ready or Not: No One Misses Out Hebrews 12:12-15 July 7, 2026 The urgency of grace is first and foremost the urgency with which God pursues us. The grace of God is not waiting for you to become spiritually impressive. Grace is the Shepherd leaving the 99 in search of the one. It is the woman sweeping the house looking for a lost coin. It is the father running down the road toward t...

The Airing of Grievances: The Final Grievance Philippeans 1:3-11 June 14, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy I have one final grievance: You made me grateful. Grateful for your love. For my family and me. Grateful for your patience. Grateful for your faithfulness. Grateful for your humor. Grateful for the honor of being your pastor. Grateful for the holy, messy, beautiful, exhausting, grace-soaked work we have...

The Airing of Grievances: You Are Hard to Love John 13:31-35 June 7, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy The gospel is not that we finally become lovable enough for Jesus. The gospel is that Jesus loves us while we are still a mess. So, yes, I’ve got a lot of problems with you people. And God help me, I love you. Because Christ first loved us.

The Wellspring of a New Humanity Matthew 28:16-20 May 31, 2026 Trinity Sunday Rev. Teer Hardy The One who has all authority in heaven and on earth is with us. The crucified and risen One is with us. The Son who reveals the Father is with us. The One who sends the Spirit is…with us. Always. To the end of the age. That is why and how the church can risk being more than an affinity group. That is why...

The Breath of Jesus is the Speech of the Church Genesis 11:1-9 Acts 2:1-21 John 20:19-23 May 24, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy The church is not Babel with hymns, an organ, and a signup sheet. Nor are we here to make a name for ourselves. The church exists to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ, crucified, risen, and ascended. Living, present, and sending. Yes, we live in a world drowning in words. We are st...

Because of the Resurrection… We Are Not Abandoned Luke 24:44-53 May 17, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy At the beginning of Luke 24, the disciples are leaving Jerusalem because hope seemed dead, but by the end, they are returning with joy. Their direction has changed. Their fear has changed. Their worship has changed. Not because the circumstances are simple. Not because goodbye does not matter. Not because...

Because of the Resurrection… Change Does Not Mean We Are Abandoned John 14:15-21 May 10, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy The disciples thought they were losing Jesus beside them. Little did they know they were being given Christ within them. That is Good News for disciples who do not know what is next and for anyone who has ever wondered, “Will I be alone in this?” Jesus says, “I will not leave you orphaned....

Because of the Resurrection… The Way Has A Name John 14:1-14 May 3, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy The Church does not need a map as much as we think we do. The Church needs the One who is the way. A map can tell us where we are going. Only Jesus can raise the dead. Dread is a terrible compass, but Jesus is the faithful way. That is the Gospel claim John 14 makes. Not that we will always know where we are g...

Because of the Resurrection… There’s One Voice That Matters John 10:1-10 April 26, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy The Resurrection frees us from our dependence on who is shouting the loudest, because the Church belongs to Christ. And that means, no matter who tries to claim, no matter the movement trying to control it, no matter who speaks over it, the Shepherd still speaks. And when Jesus speaks, He leads...

Because of the Resurrection… Your But is Not as Big as You Think John 20:19-31 Easter Sunday April 19, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy When we say, “We had hoped but…” we are not wrong to hope. We are just usually wrong about where hope ends. Because of the resurrection, the “but” is never the end. Which means your “but” is not as final as you think.

Because of the Resurrection… We Do Not Have to Pretend We Are Brave John 20:19-31 Easter Sunday April 12, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy Because of the resurrection, because of the presence of Christ and the gifting of the Holy Spirit, you do not have to pretend to be brave. You do not have to fake certainty. You do not have to hide your fear or doubts. Christ shows up before you have unlocked the door. Bef...

From Mud to Morning John 20:1-18 Easter Sunday April 5, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy The resurrection is not just another piece of content to fit into the story we already believe about the world. It is the end of that story, and is the beginning of a new one. Not because everything is fixed. Not because the headlines have changed. But because we are beginning, by grace, to see. To see that death does not...

What We Still Cannot See John 12:12-19 Palm Sunday March 29, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy Jesus is the only one entering Jerusalem who knows what is going on. He knows the kind of king they want. He knows where the parade leads. He knows the voices shouting “Hosanna!” will not make it to Friday. And he rides anyway, not on a warhorse like the governor entering on the opposite side of the city, but on a sy...

Through Blind Eyes | Seen by Jesus John 9:35-41 Lent 5 March 22, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy Here’s the gospel: the man does not find Jesus. Jesus finds him. After rejection, after loss, and after the cost, Jesus finds him. And the same is true for you. You do not have to have your vision right before Christ comes near. You do not have to solve the mystery before you can believe. You do not have to see e...

Through Blind Eyes | Power Confronted John 9:24-34 Lent 4 March 15, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy The healed man tells the truth, and he is cast out. Christ tells the truth, and he is nailed to a tree. But here is the strange and dangerous thing about the gospel. The powers never seem to realize what they have done. Because the cross reveals something the powers of the world will never understand, the grac...

If this sermon moved you to consider the urgency of God‘s grace, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Anyone who has ever been called to testify in a courtroom knows the moment. Your name is called. You stand and walk forward. You raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth. And when you sit down in the witness box, something changes. You are no longer an observer. You are a witness....

Through Blind Eyes | Disruptive Faith John 9:8-18 Lent 2 March 1, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy Lent exposes the places where we resist the gospel, not because we hate Jesus but because we fear what his healing will rearrange. And here is the quiet mercy: Jesus is not threatened by the Pharisees’ suspicion or undone by their division. He keeps healing. He keeps revealing. All of that to say, if Lent unsett...

Through Blind Eyes | Lent Begins in the Dark John 9:1-7 Lent 1 February 22, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy Lent does not begin in the dark because God delights in confusion, but because trust is formed there. The blind man is seen before he sees. Grace precedes understanding. The call precedes clarity. That means the same is true for you. You might feel half-seeing or spiritually muddy. You may feel uncerta...

You Don’t Have to Wash Your Ash Matthew 6:1–6, 16–21 Ash Wednesday February 18, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy Ash Wednesday is about telling the truth in front of God. And here is the truth: We do not need to be cleaned up before we are loved. We do not need to be impressive before we are forgiven. We do not need to scrub away our failures before we are welcomed. We are already washed. Not with water alone...

The Glory Does what happens on the mountain stay on the mountain? Matthew 17:1-9 Transfiguration Sunday February 15, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy The season of Epiphany does not conclude with instruction. The Now What? of the season is not “come down the mountain.” It ends with revelation. Get full access to Brewing Theology with Teer Hardy at teerhardy.substack.com/subscribe

Now What? | Spirit Over Spectacle 1 Corinthians 2:1-16 February 8, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy The Spirit does not wait until we get this right. The Spirit does not arrive once we are finally wise enough, faithful enough, or qualified enough. The Spirit is already given. Which means your worth is not pending. Your belonging is not conditional. Your place in God’s life is not something you achieve. “We ha...

Jesus is Not Your Mascot “When being right becomes more important than being faithful.” 1 Corinthians 1:10-18 Third Sunday after the Epiphany January 25, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy Unity is not the prize we earn for good behavior. It is a gift Christ gives to people who keep trying to live as if they belong to someone else. That’s what makes Paul’s question so sharp: “Has Christ been divided?”Because wh...

Now What? | Grace Has Already Been Given “Once grace is a fact, delay becomes a problem.” 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 Second Sunday after the Epiphany January 18, 2026 Rev. Teer Hardy Remember the tense: God has already claimed them. God has already gifted them. God has already bound them to Christ. God has already claimed you. God has already gifted you. God has already bound them to you. Which means the...

“Exposed and Beloved” January 11, 2026 Matthew 3:13-17 Baptism of the Lord Rev. Teer Hardy The Gospel is not that we are less violent than we feared. It is that God does not abandon us when the truth about us is revealed. God meets us there. Claims us there. Names us there. For those who have been baptized, remembering your baptism is not sentimentality. It is identity when exposure comes. When th...
