To repent means to change one’s direction or mind. It means to look in a different direction for happiness and meaning. This was the invitation from Jesus as he began in his ministry! In this sermon we consider all our lectionary readings and various pictures or stories of repentance that we find in these passages.

The first Sunday of Epiphany is always given to the Baptism of Jesus. At first glance one may wonder why Jesus would need to be baptized. John the Baptist certainly didn't see that coming! Listen to this message as Fr. Rob talks through three things we see in the baptism of our Lord.

This morning at Shalom we had a guest preacher! Listen to learn more ;)

Listen to four simple truths about the Birth of Jesus in this Christmas Eve Sermon.

Our readings and the sermon bring us deeper into the theme of hope as we continue in the second week of Advent.

Why do we worship Jesus as King? Because of who He is and what He has done. Check out the message to learn more! You may also appreciate these links which helped with aspects of the sermon.

In this week's message we cover the second of two parables on prayer in Luke 18. This is a simple but powerful word to be humble in prayer and in life.

In this message we dug into the parable of the persistent widow and a little bit of Jacob's story. Ultimately, this was an encouragement to us to be persistent in prayer.

What does the virtue of patience have to do with what it looks like to be the church in a time of violence, political upheaval, and confusion? Our passages this morning and the example of the church father Cyprian can help us in our own cultural moment. We pray this message will encourage you today!

This week Bishop Jake Worley was at Shalom to lead our first confirmation service. He also preached an encouraging message from Psalm 146.

Our lectionary readings each teach us something different around the topics of money and power. From a scathing rebuke, to an odd parable, to praying for those in power, there's a lot to consider. Make sure to read the texts before listening to the sermon. May this message encourage you this day as you follow Jesus!

Sometimes the Scriptures bring us to points of clarity. Our readings for 9/7 do just that and present us with some choices to make! May this message challenge and encourage you!
