SCRIPTURE TEXT: Luke 1:5-79   The Christmas season of December is also the Advent season of preparation, a time in which most of us find ourselves dealing with much PLANNING: of family & work gatherings, shopping & gift buying, festivities & meals, and so on. With our schedules so heavy-laden, we can find the joys of Christmastime overshadowed by stress as we struggle to maintain...

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Isaiah 7:10-25  ​ Advent, the traditional period of anticipating the arrival of Christmas that came in the birth of the Christ, is by its very nature “A Season of Waiting.” In this sermon series leading up to Christmas Day 2022, we’ll consider how our patient preparation for Christmas celebration relates to the ancient story of how God brings light, life, & hope to our wor...

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Luke 10:25-37   We conclude our sermon series on “Parables of Patience” with one of Jesus’ best-known tales, the Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. Though the Jewish people of His day generally distained their northern neighbors (and close cousins) the Samaritans, Jesus framed His story around a Samaritan hero whose kindness to a Jewish stranger forms Jesus’ answer to t...

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Isaiah 46:9   Author, Pastor, & Life Coach Maureen Broderson reminds us in this message to remember the Lord our God & all that He's done for us. Remembering is an act of faith that reminds us--not to take us back into the past, but rather to prepare us for the future. Faith's greatest encouragement is remembering. And so, as Hebrews 2:1 admonishes us, "we must pay clo...

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Matthew 25:1-13   In His teaching story commonly known as the Parable of the Ten Virgins, Jesus describes ten young women of a bridal party engaged in the common ancient custom of awaiting the arrival of the bridegroom. Half of these prepared their lamps wisely, not knowing when the bridegroom would come. But the other five foolishly lacked sufficient fuel to keep their lamps...

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Matthew 20:1-16   Jesus gives one of His most challenging “Parables of Patience” in Matthew 20’s Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard. In it, a generous landowner surprises his workers by paying those hired near the very end of the day a wage equivalent to those hired at the beginning. Many who hear this story find their patience challenged by its message that “the last sha...

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Matthew 24:32 -51   Parables (short & simple stories often using symbolic meanings to convey a moral or spiritual lesson) formed a cornerstone of Jesus’ earthly teaching & preaching.

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Philippians 2:1-4   According to Jesus, the whole Old Testament Law could be summed up in two actions: loving God & loving others. Yet it can be easy to miss that Jesus’ call to love is still a commandment. Most of us struggle with that command because relationships are messy & regularly difficult. The good news is that God generously supplies everything we need to obe...

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 1 Samuel 14:1-52  There’s a little bit of Saul in us all. God appointed & anointed that first King of Israel to lead His people in purity of spirit, with the integrity of heart. But Saul used his royal position according to his own terms & agenda. In the prior lesson from 1 Samuel 13, we saw how Saul’s fear of failure in battling the Philistines led him to jump ahead o...

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 1 Samuel 12:1-25   As Samuel, great priest, prophet, & judge of Ancient Israel, entered the latter years of his life overseeing the nation’s transition to the rule of a monarch in the person of King Saul, he gathered the people once more for a major address in the mode of Moses in Deuteronomy & Joshua at the end of the Canaan Conquest.

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 1 Corinthians 2:9   Over 2,500 years ago the prophet Isaiah wrote of the Lord, “Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.” The Apostle Paul quoted this Scripture to the believers in Corinth to remind that the unimaginable glories of what God has prepared for His patient people...

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 1 Samuel 11:1-15   God’s people faced many foes who sought to “divide & conquer” the tribes of Ancient Israel. But when the Lord anointed Saul as king, he unified those tribes into a nation in which the people pulled together as one (1 Sam 11:7). Similarly in our lives, the enemy of our souls seeks to blind our spiritual vision, dash our faith-filled hope, & strike div...
