Preparing for "The Potential of Praying" | Sermon for Sunday, November 9, 2025 04.11.2025

Forgiveness is increasingly hard to do. Many people choose alienation and estrangement from others before making any effort for reconciliation. This story from Moses' life illustrates the meaning and power of forgiveness in a very unique way. We can learn much about sin, forgiveness, and grace from this very old and powerful story.

Preparing for "The Provision of Praying" | Sermon for Sunday, November 2, 2025 28.10.2025

Praying for our own needs feels awkward. Isn't prayer about praying for others and their needs? Jesus tells us to pray for our "daily bread." What does that mean? Can we find a new way to pray for others and for ourselves? Jesus believes we can and that we must.

"The Purpose of Praying" | Sermon, October 26, 2025 27.10.2025

We might complain from time to time that God does not seem to be doing much. It does depend on where you are looking and what you might be expecting. God is always moving and working, but does so, most of the time, in human beings. This week, we take a closer look at Moses' way of living, "Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

"The Point of Praying" | Sermon, October 19, 2025 20.10.2025

"Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name." Here is a prayer we often pray without always realizing what we are asking for or who we are praying to. Our God is one of relationships, like a family. Our prayer, like that of Moses, is for God to walk with us and be our guide.

"Dishing It Out" | Sermon, October 5, 2025 06.10.2025

Sometimes the words "just" and "fair" do not go together. In Jesus' parable about a vineyard owner, this display of justice is by no means fair, but it does draw our focus toward a compassionate God. This God is always looking for new ways to give, share, and bless.

"Facing Our Great Un-Doing" | Sermon, September 28, 2025 29.09.2025

We have a great deal of talking these days. Podcasts like this one number in the millions. We like to talk. Conversations can be so very important, but when they lack any kind of action, they feel a bit empty. This week's episode explores how we can take thought and word and place them into action for the benefit of those around us.

"Proximity Alert" | Sermon, September 21, 2025 22.09.2025

The most important work we often do is the work closest to us. How are we caring for those nearest to us? The news of the day will practically force us to work on the things we cannot possibly change alone. The issues are too big. Jesus invites his followers to small relationships which can make a big difference. We are called to give and receive peace everywhere we go, especially when it is close...

"Getting It" | Sermon, September 14, 2025 15.09.2025

No matter where we have been, what we have done, or where we are now, Jesus is always there ready to share his love with us. He meets us right where we are. This week's episode explores how a desperate and lonely woman discovers Jesus right in her own world.

"Getting Past It" | Sermon, August 31, 2025 01.09.2025

When we think of a storm at sea in the Bible, we might think of Jonah or even Noah. Toward the end of the Book of Acts, we read a story of a storm and even a shipwreck that almost ended Paul's life on his way to Rome. This week's episode focuses on how God's salvation can sometimes show up later than we like and harder than we think it needs to be.

"Getting Down To It" | Sermon, August 24, 2025 25.08.2025

The promise of healing often feels overblown. We have seen too many people prayed for and not recover. Struggle and pain win the day too often. Believing in God's healing is harder than it seems. This week's episode explores how God's healing works in the vision of Ezekiel.

"Getting On With It" | Sermon, August 17, 2025 18.08.2025

Sometimes we like to have it both ways. Making a clear choice often means that we may lose something we don't want to lose. There may be times when having it both ways works but not often with our relationship with God. This week's episode explores a unique contest where people have to make a life-altering choice.

"Getting With It" | Sermon, August 10, 2025 11.08.2025

The church is a barrier-breaking organization. At least, that is the purpose we hear in the Book of Acts. Rules are broken. Traditions are violated. All of this happens for the sake of the gospel of Jesus. This week's passage breaks barriers of race and culture as an unexpected man becomes a follower of Jesus.

"Getting Into It" | Sermon, August 3, 2025 04.08.2025

Most of us have known the story of Noah and the ark since we were children. Like most Bible stories we learn as children, there are important themes for adults too. This week we explore how to take the step of faith when God opens a new way for us. God and Noah will be our guide!
