Sermon – June 13, 2010: Our Deepest Fear

We fear many things in life. We fear things at school, work, home, and even things at church. What do people think of me? Will I fit in? What am I going to do to make money? What will the future hold? We don’t realize that our deepest fear is none of the above. Our [...]

Sermon – June 6, 2010: A Gracious Interruption

Death, Despair, and Desperation process through our lives and our community more often than we would like. But do we stop and take notice? Furthermore are we moved to interrupt all of this death, despair, and desperation with compassion, hope and love? Or do we simply march on with the business of life? In our [...]

Sermon – May 30, 2010: A Mysterious Mind-FULL

In our psalm for Sunday, Psalm 8 , the psalmist looks up and out at all that God has created and can’t help but offer praise! But it is not long before the praise turns to questions. The longer he looks up at the heavens the more aware he becomes of just how small he is [...]

Sermon – May 23, 2010: ACTING OUT…to be continued

Lots of things in our lives – spring, spring sports, school, Bible studies, Confirmation, even this sermon series – are coming to an end. In the moments leading up to the text, Acts 2:1-21 , the disciples are waiting and praying. It feels like the end. Yet suddenly and without warning the Holy Spirit invades the [...]

Sermon – May 16, 2010: ACTING OUT: The Witness of Worship

We love our sports teams (pro, college, school, or Rec league). We love to cheer on them on. We deck out in the colors, scream, chant, and make our devotion obvious. But what about our faith? Do we do the same when it comes to our singing and praying? In our text for Sunday, Acts [...]

Sermon – May 9, 2010: ACTING OUT: Hearing the Cry of the Needy

Frequently in our corporate prayers we make the confession that we “have not heard the cry of the needy.” In our lesson for the morning, Paul hears such a cry – in a vision there is a man crying out, “come help us.” When Paul goes, he meets a woman who by all appearances is [...]

Sermon – May 2, 2010: Hooper Humperdink? Not Him!

There’s ‘them’ and there’s ‘us’. There are insiders and outsiders. It is true today and it has been true throughout human history. History is full of the story of struggle between nations, races, creeds, and tongues. In the New Testament it was Jew vs. Gentile. But in our text for the morning - Acts 11:1-18 – [...]

Sermon – April 25, 2010: ACTING OUT: Feed the World

We have a crisis on our hands. The statistics about hunger are gut wrenching. They tell a story of death. Our text for Sunday - Acts 9:36-43 – also tells the story of a crisis. Tabitha is dead. But then Peter comes and wrenches life from death. Tabitha is raised and many believe. Through our involvement [...]
