18 NOV 2024 · At the end of the Hebrews 10 reading, we receive encouragement not to give up meeting together (i.e. worshiping together). As we take in this entire reading more fully, in addition to the reading from Mark 12, we see other elements of worship and why worshiping together is so important (forgiveness, Christ’s sacrifice, our offerings, humility before one another and before God, good works, encouraging one another, etc.). It’s a rich way to consider why we worship.

28 OCT 2024 · What’s the way to freedom? Jesus talked about how important truth is – and when we know it, we’ll really be free. On this Reformation Sunday, we’ll look more closely at what Luther re-discovered for us by way of both Truth and Freedom and why those are such a big deal for us in our lives yet today.

Epistle Reading: Hebrews 7:23-28
Gospel Reading: John 8:31-36 (sermon focus)
Sermon Title: “Truth: What’s the Big Deal?”
21 OCT 2024 · We’re talking elections! The texts of the week don’t necessarily spell out “elections” at first glance, but when we take a deeper look at the prophet Amos’ words, it is easy to be caught up in in the passion of the prophet’s relentless call to faithfulness and the urging to uphold/return to God as King. For the disciple of Jesus, that’s what elections give us an opportunity to do – to vote through the lens of our trust in Jesus as our King and His design for life laid out for us through the scriptures. We will see that voting is not foreign to followers of Jesus. There are stories throughout the Bible where God, surprisingly enough, was “on the ballot.” But make no mistake about it, we “vote” daily about honoring the Kingdom of God versus the Kingdom of self, the world, and prevailing culture. If we believe that political power is the ultimate form of power to make things right in the world, we are at odds with the teaching of the Bible and the message of Jesus. We’ll see together that when we vote, we vote, just as we pray we can live every day, through the way, truth, and life of Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords, and King of Kings. It will be a challenging but timely message as we approach the upcoming election.

Gospel Reading: Mark 10:35-45
Sermon Title: “Elections: What’s the Big Deal?”
14 OCT 2024 · In Hebrews 4 we’re told that we have a God who can sympathize with our weaknesses. What’s the big deal if God can empathize with me or not? I’m the one who has to live my life with all its ups and downs. It doesn’t make any difference to Him if I’m hurting or struggling or rejoicing or celebrating, does it? The prophecy from Isaiah 53 (the Suffering Servant), gives a powerful and poignant picture of how empathetic our Savior is! We’ll delve into just how important God’s empathy is for us as we seek to follow Him.

Sermon Title: “An Empathetic God: What’s the Big Deal?”
7 OCT 2024 · Does it really matter what we do, as long as we have faith? James has some rather strong feelings about that question! How do life and faith intersect? In Isaiah, we hear a prophecy of Jesus. The Gospel reading from Mark demonstrates how that prophecy is fulfilled in Jesus. But is it just about caring for the poor and needy (or performing miracles to heal them, as Jesus did), or where does faith play into all this? What IS the big deal?

16 SEP 2024 · We began our Church: What’s the Big Deal? series last week by looking big – the Global Church. This week we’re going to take a look at the Lutheran slice of the Global Church. We’ll ask, “What makes the Lutheran church Lutheran?” “What is unique about the Lutheran church?” “What’s the big deal about being Lutheran?” It’s not about bashing other denominations or church bodies – it’s about rejoicing over what God is doing in and through us! Come join me as we explore some of what makes the Lutheran Church a powerful and integral part of all the different denominations, and the gift of God’s grace that sets us apart in so many ways.

Sermon Title: “The Lutheran Church: What’s the Big Deal?”
9 SEP 2024 · As we begin our 4-week September series on the Church, we start with the big picture – the Global Church. The readings take us across the spectrum of time, particularly taking into account God’s perspective on why He established His Church. Ownership is a big deal as is the timelessness of His Church. Through multiple languages used to read the Scriptures, and hearing how we are all one body, amidst so many differences, I pray we grow in appreciation for the church-at-large, the Global Church, of which we are all a part.
