Saints Peter and Paul Sermons

We are Alive in Christ because of who God is and who he has made us to be. It is our mission to continue being a vibrant and growing family of God, truly and fully Alive in Christ!

This sermon focuses on the third phrase of our congregation's 150 year old mission statement "Assist in Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to All the World." You probably don't consider yourself a preacher. But, you do use words, correct? You have opinions? How can you preach the good news of Jesus Christ in everyday conversations?

This sermon focuses on the second phrase of our congregation's 150 year old mission statement "Carry out His will." We ask the questions: What is God's will? How is God's will done? And, how do we, as a congregation, carry out God's will?

This is the first phrase in our congregation's 150 year old mission statement. It all begins here. The purpose of this congregation is to give honor and glory to God. Before we can begin to accomplish the mission that God has before us, we must first acknowledge the fact that God is God and we belong to him.

What is Heaven? Where is it? How do we get there? What should we do until Heaven? Today's sermon will scratch the surface on answers to these questions. The goal: to give you answers about the end so you can have hope while you wait.

The Apostle Paul faced incredible suffering for the sake of the Gospel, and yet he still found joy in the immense love of Jesus. How can we get through the difficulties of this life if not for the love of Jesus Christ?

At all times we need to be ready to witness about the hope we have in Jesus Christ. There are other times where we need to follow Paul's example and intentionally bring the good news of Jesus to "those people" in "those places." Are you willing to go?

What does it mean to "be a witness" of Jesus? Who do your eyes see today? What do your hands touch today? What do your lips speak today? How will you use these things today to testify the ways you have seen and experienced the risen Jesus?

The resurrection of Jesus Christ happened in history. It is reality. The reality of the resurrection makes your reality more real.

On Good Friday, Jesus’s body was ravaged, yet at the same time as he is being ravaged, he ravages the power of the devil. How has Jesus ravaged your enemies, or do you feel like the one who is ravaged?

On Maundy Thursday, Jesus reclines at the table to celebrate the Passover with his disciples. When do you recline in the presence of Jesus Christ and truly appreciate his nearness to you?

On Palm Sunday, Jesus rides a donkey into Jerusalem. But, what a ride it is to be a follower of Jesus Christ! This ride leads to resurrection!
