9th Sun Aft Pent. Mark 6:30-34 “Christ’s Compassionate Presence”
The lonely, the disenfranchised, the widowed, the divorced, the awkward teen, the outlier, and the outcast all need Christ’s presence and we know exactly how He desires to be present, compassionately, with them!
6th Sunday After Pentecost Lamentations 3 “What, are ya gonna cry?”
Sometimes you do need a good cry, but what are we crying for? Did we lose a friend? Did we miss out on a can’t miss opportunity? Did someone steel something from us? Lamentations helps us see what is really worth crying for.
Part 2 5th Sun aft Pent. Job 38 “Don’t Understand it, Believe it!l
Is Job about how to suffer righteously for God or how God is righteous above all and offers us redemption!
5th Sun aft Pent. Job 38 “Don’t Understand it, Believe it!l
Is Job about how we are to suffer and trust God? Or is it really about God’s Righteousness and redemption?

“Woe is me” we cry as Christians, but whom did the reason for all our woe truly fall upon. Ultimately it WAS NOT us! So who was it?
4th Sunday of Easter Acts 4:1-12 “Forever With +Him”
What is the sum total of your life? Will anyone related to you even care 4 or five generations from now? Jesus cares and showed it by showing us where and how we will be forever with +Him.
3rd Sunday of Easter Acts 3 “All Things Through Christ Jesus”
Peter and John confront evil in all its forms showing just how evil was defeated in one name!
2nd Sunday of Easter Acts 4:32-35 “Glorify Your Heavenly Father Again”
The why and how of church is exemplified in the Acts of the Apostles and easily related to why we do church today and how we do church as well. In the season of Easter we will reflect on this leading up to Pentecost.
Easter Day 1 Corinthians 14 “Risen Indeed, Alleluia”
Why are you in church today? Well there is a pretty good reason if you’re not entirely sure.
Holy Thursday Mark 14:12-26 “Prepare, Gather, Bless”
Jesus prepares them (and us) Jesus gathers them(and us) Jesus blesses them (and US!!!)
Palm Sunday Philippians 2 “Wholly in Submission”
The world does not understand submission, you may not either, let’s understand it today
5th Sun in Lent HBRWS 5 “His Eternal Kingdom”
Who’s your favorite pastor? Who should it be!
4th Sunday in Lent Ephesians 2 “Sinners like me”
It’s good to know you can’t save yourself, than your ready to admit you need a savior and your open to the reality of the one who already saved you!
3rd Sun in Lent 1 COR 1 “Just a Word About the Cross”

Ash Wednesday “A Series of 3”
Introduction to the midweek theme for penitential reflection leading to the joy of Jesus Resurrection from the dead!
5th Sunday aft the Epiphany Mark 1 “He Means Everything”
It’s unfortunate these days that people don’t seem to say what they mean and mean what they say. Today I give a few examples of that when it’s harmless and when it can be problematic. It even happens in scripture and when people trust others with what God says. Listen today to see what Jesus says and what that means for you today!!!
4th Sunday After the Epiphany Mark 1 “Nobody Knows Better”
Too often we think we know it all until we come across someone who knows better, how humiliating when the most humble of all knows better than we do!
3rd Sun Aft the Epiphany Jonah 3 “I’m Not Gonna Tell Ya Again”
When God tells ya, you should probably do what he says, then when you realize you won’t or can’t then you can see that Jesus does
2nd Sun Aft the Epiphany JN 1:43-51 “Open for Eternity”
Wouldn’t you like to be more open to the possibility of great things for you! Find out today who was open to the greatest Man ever!
The Baptism of Our Lord Mark 1 “A Message for the Disconnected”
Thinking Jesus isn’t for you! Think again for He and His cousin says He is!
The First Sunday After Christmas Luke 2:22-40 “Sinners Need a Savior”
Some people don’t know Jesus. Some others know about Jesus, or think they do, but don’t care about Jesus. Some really know Jesus, and hate Him for who He is. Seems impossible for all of these to coexist in the same communities, and yet they do managing neighborliness at the same time. So who is Jesus and what does He have to do with Christmas anyway? Many are asking that very question of Christians today.
Christmas Eve Matt. 1:28-25 “The Babe of Bethlehem”
What is Christmas really about? Joseph shows us first hand and it’s not as unbelievable as the world thinks it is.
4th Sun of Advent Rom. 16:25-27 “Let the Secret Loose”
The only thing in our text today is the secret God keeps and the Faith that God gives so we can receive it. On this 4th Sunday of Easter it’s time to let that secret loose!
3rd Sunday in Advent 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 “Life is Hard”
“I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden” a famous country singer once crooned. Nobody should have sold you on life going easy! But if you were misled, the surprise can feel like utter betrayal! Can you just imagine what a perfect divine man would feel like? Especially if they were poor, persecuted, and died the hardest death you could die? Ironically enough Jesus is that God Man who did just that. And he knew exactly what was coming before he did!
2nd Sun. Of Advent 2 Pet 3:8-14 “Patient and Forever Present with Us”
“I told you a million times to stop exaggerating!” We laugh at the hypocrisy of that statement but sometimes forget God’s love and patience towards us that is no exaggeration at all! Wait patiently on the Lord who can’t wait to be with you!
1st Sunday in Advent 1 COR 1:3-9 “The Apocalypse of Our Lord Jesus Christ”
Happy New Year, the church New Year that is, and just how it’s revealed in the revelation of Jesus him self
24th Sunday After Pentecost Amos 5 “There Will Be Peace”
Have you ever done the wrong thing but were having so much fun doing it you hated the person who warned you it was so…very…wrong? Maybe you learned the hard way it was wrong and maybe you even kept your hard feeling towards the messenger. If so this message may be about the Old Testament Prophet Amos but it’s definitely for you!
All Saints Sunday
Celebrating the Faith of those that departed in the Faith at Faith this year
Reformation Observed JN 8, “Reformation Matters”
Reformation May seem pas-say but it is as relevant today as it was 500 years ago!
21st Sun Aft Pentecost. Is. 45:1-7 “ Writing His Truth”
Truth is true no matter who ushers it in. Little is true in Hollywood, so we do well to seek God’s truth for us in His Word!
20th Sunday After Pentecost Isaiah 25 “Jesus is the Death Eater”
The title says it all! Enjoy!
18th Sunday After Pentecost Ezekiel 18 “Free to Live, Forever, for Him”
Play stupid games win stupid prizes they say, Ezekiel’s Prophecy warns the Judeans and the House of Israel of just this, but history tells us they did not learn their lesson. Listen today to find out what God does when we fail to heed a prophets (Pastors and the like) warnings too!
17th Sunday After Pentecost Isaiah 54:6-9 “Do Your Duty”
Duty is ours events God’s. To often we want to suggest to the omnipotent power of the world we understand and know how the events of our lives should go, this could not be more wrong headed as Peter demonstrates in our message today! We know our duty, just do it, and the the events results be determined by God!
16th Sunday After Pentecost Genesis 50 “The Truth, The Way, The Life”
How sad is our mourning the loss of a loved one when we don’t actually mourn at all but lie our way to the best benefit of their death for us!
14th Sunday aft Pent. Jeremiah 15:15-21
Parenting is great teaching is greater, sometimes…
15th Sun aft Pentecost Ezk. 33 “A Warning Worth Heeding”
Watch out PASTORS! God says, “Attend to my people, or I will attend to you!”
13th Sunday After Pentecost Isaiah 51 “The Rock of Our Salvation”
In a world of turbulence and shaky ground God shows us the rock solid guarantee
12th Sun Aft Pentecost Is. 56 “Secure and at Home”
Insecurity Vanity and Calamity. We have all been there and done that. But what if the shame doesn’t doesn’t remain?
The 11th Sunday After Pentecost Job 38 “A Fate Worse Than Dying” 2023
Job had it rough, REALLY rough, but it wasn’t as much about suffering under the Devil as it is suffering in general.
10th Sun Aft Pentecost Is. 55:1-5 “All our dreams come true in Him”
Free, really free. It’s like a dream come true as unbelievable as that may be!
