Description
In his wisdom, Jesus decided to wait two-and-a-half years to speak plainly to his apostles about his suffering, death, and resurrection. But in doing so, he also gives us plain teaching, rebukes, predictions, and promises that we can rely on, especially in our suffering.
Description
Like he knew his apostles' thoughts and was able to powerfully speak right to them, so your risen Savior knows exactly what you're thinking and speaks his peace right to those thoughts.
Description
Between newspapers, Internet blogs, radio stations, TV episodes, movies, podcasts and the like, you can listen to plenty of people talk about plenty of things, even things that interest you. But when you are troubled and fearful at heart, you don't need someone to talk aboutsomething. You need someone to speak to something -- your heart. Jesus does, and the result is peace in your heart.
Description
Where we might see a crowd of adoring fans of Jesus, our Savior sees individual souls who need to follow so that he can lead them to eternal life.
Description
When children become orphans, it's always because of tragic circumstances. Your Jesus promises you that no tragedy will tear you away from him.
Description
You can get financial advice from a lot of people. But only Jesus gives divine financial teaching. What's more, he gives his teaching without a fee and his teaching leads to free heavenly treasure!
Description
Your idea of glory is probably not Jesus' idea of glory. Wheat, death, the Father, and the devil... they're all in the picture at the crucial moments when Jesus would be glorified.
Description
As Jesus stood before Pontius Pilate, he knew that his kingdom would have no end, and so he willingly went to the cross. Jesus has made you a member of that kingdom and that impacts you now and forever.
Jesus' Living Water Quenches Your Thirst for Normalcy
Description This Sunday we began a sermon series on our stained glass windows from the New Testament.
As we wade through all the wrong things we have done and in a world where we see so much sin, the window of Jesus' baptism invites us to wade into the waters of the Jordan River and find in Jesus a righteousness which quenches our thirst for things to be made right between God and us.
Jesus' Living Water Quenches Your Thirst for Someone to Be in Control
Description (Note: There were some audio issues during the recording process. We hope to have it corrected next week.)
Our series on our New Testament stained glass windows continues. In a year that has seen everything from a global pandemic to urban unrest, we look at Jesus silencing a storm with a single sentence. Then we know that everything in our lives will be OK because Jesus is both the Creator and our Savior.
Jesus' Living Water Quenches Your Thirst for Someone to Hold On To
Description When you find someone in life who gives you companionship and confidence, you hold on to that person. Jesus wants to be with you and encourage you with his saving power. So hold on to him in faith, especially when you're afraid or having doubt!
Jesus' Living Water Quenches Your Thirst for Understanding
Description Inside every human being is a thirsty to understand the meaning of this life. In a boat on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus helps us understand life within the context of the kingdom of heaven. Jesus doesn't use tricks of modern day blogging, but his teaching unlocks secrets no selfie sticks or webcams could reveal. Come to Jesus and drink the living water of his understanding.
Description
Christmas Eve is kind of straightforward. It says that the long awaited Messiah and Savior has been born. Christmas Day dives into the depths of what that all means, and Saint John explains those deep truths in simple language.
Description
Our worship has transitioned into a yearly series on the End Times, that is, what will happen at the end of the world when Jesus comes back. Paul tells us that everyone will have a judgment coming on that last day. What judgment will come to you?
Description
It’s hard to imagine a world of perfect justice. God’s justice is perfect, but is it always fair? Jonah’s story shows how God uses humans to preach that God is not fair... but that's a great thing for us and for our salvation!
Description
Lots of people talk about faith, but what exactly is saving faith? What's it like, and what role does it play in our salvation? That's a question older than the Reformation 500 years ago and even older than the Apostle Paul. Father Abraham helps answer our questions about faith.
Description
The season of Advent is all about preparing for Christ's coming. Jesus' voice in this text commands us to urgently keep watch for that coming.
Description
Life throws so much before our eyes that we often don't know what to focus on. The vision God gave to Daniel in chapter 7 of his book helps us with that problem. We keep our eyes on faith on the same thing that came before Daniel's eyes, "one like a son of man, coming witht he clouds of heaven."
Description
Matthew doesn't record Jesus speaking a single word during his royal entrance into Jerusalem for Holy Week. Instead, we learn about who Jesus is and what he came to do from others. That has implications for the way we prepare for his coming at Christmas and from the clouds.
Description
After Abraham walked to the Promised Land, he discovered something about his relationship with God. The Apostle Paul walks us through the significance of that discovery for our faith this Lent and the rest of our lives.
Description
Americans are almost allergic to the idea of somone being a king or lord over them because we think it reduces our independence. But the reverse is true when it comes to Jesus. He is our Lord and he gives us the truest independence.
Description
When God's prophet says some embarrassing things, how does God respond? God responded not so much with a great show of power but with a gentle whisper and his gracious promises.
