Grace Happens Here

This week the Church celebrates the rock-solid confession of Peter who said of Jesus, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God".  This rock-solid confession continues to be the foundation of the Church and of our lives as followers of Christ.

Sermon from December 13th, 2020 - the Third Sunday in Advent.

Sermon from December 9, 2020.  "Jesus: The Root of Jesse's Tree"

Sermon from the Second Sunday in Advent.  Today we hear about John the Baptist preparing the way of the Lord by preaching repentance and forgiveness.  Repentance turns us in the right direction - toward our Savior, who gives us forgiveness, life, and salvation!

Today we began our mid-week series, "The Jesse Tree".  Today's sermon is called, "Jesus, the Seed of Jesse's Tree".

What do you want for Christmas?  This season of Advent directs our answer away from the temporal things of this world and to the eternal things found in Christ alone!

Listen to the sermon from the 24th Sunday after Pentecost.  The text for this week's sermon is the parable of the talents from Matthew 25:14-30.  Through this parable we learn the truth that knowing our Master makes all the difference in the world!

It's very easy to see the bad all around us - but even in the midst of difficult times God's grace still happens!  God is faithful is taking care of His people - now and for all eternity!

This weeks sermon is based of the Parable of the Wedding Feast in Matthew 22:1-14.

Today, September 29th, is St Michael & All Angels Day - and National Coffee Day!  What a wonderful blessing that God gives us in angels!

For the next two weeks in worship we are looking at forgiveness in a two-part series, "Looking through the Lens of Forgiveness".  As Christ has forgiven us - so we too forgive others.  Hard?  Yes!  Impossible?  NO...for Christ has given and continually equips us with His grace and forgiveness and leads us to share these gifts with others!

Last week we saw Peter make the rock-solid confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God!  This week, Jesus calls Peter the Adversary - Satan!  What happened?!?!

Jesus said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"  Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."  That rock-solid confession that was revealed to Peter has been revealed to us as well by the work of the Holy Spirit!

Today we take a look at the Lord's Prayer, petition by petition, and see how Jesus is the answer to the Lord's Prayer!

Today's sermon is based on the Gospel lesson, Matthew 14:22-33.

Pentecost 9 Sermon based on Matthew 14:13-21 - Jesus feeds the 5,000.  Today's account refreshes our hearts with that wonderful truth: God provides!

Today we focus on Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 1:18, "For the Word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
