A Tale of Two Mountains
2020-02-23 - Year A - Last Sunday of Epiphany (Transfiguration) - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Exodus 24:12-18; Psalm 99; Philippians 3:7-14; Matthew 17:1-9 Epiphany “a usually sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something” or “an appearance or manifestation especially of a divine being.” The Transfiguration reveals, yet again the fullness of who Jesus really is, and it points the way towards what he came to do. The readings this morning show us two very different but connected encounters with God on mountain tops and they show us what these two things m...

2020-02-16 - Year A - World Mission Sunday - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas Isaiah 49:1-7; Psalm 67; Acts 1:1-8; Matthew 9:35-38 God is a missionary God. All mission is first and foremost God’s mission (or Missio Dei in Latin). We see this in Matthew 9:35 where Jesus, God himself, goes on mission. God invites us to participate in his mission reconcile the world to himself through prayer, sending, and going.

Why do Good?

Klukas 2 Kings 22:8-20; Psalm 27; 1 Corinthians 2:1-16; Matthew 5:13-20 In the fifth chapter of Matthew, Jesus explains to his followers how he wants them (and now us) to behave in the world by using two metaphors: salt and light. He is indicating that we should be people who do good in the world. Many of us have taken this to heart and try to do good things as we are able to, but have you ever considered why we do good things? The whys (motives...

Carrie Klukas Malachi 3:1-4; Psalm 84; Hebrews 2:14-18; Matthew 2:22-40 The Presentation of the Lord or Candlemas is meant to be a time for us to present ourselves to the Lord. As the month of January has ended I am sure many of your New Year’s resolutions may have ended as well. Perhaps that is okay and perhaps God has a different plan for you this year. What would it look like for you to present yourself as you are right now to the Lord?...

He who created us, who called us into being, is Himself the greatest respecter and investor for the sacredness of human life. Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

John’s job was to prepare the way for Jesus, the Messiah, and now Jesus was standing right there in front of him. Shouldn't Jesus have baptized John? Also, John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance (Matthew 3:11-12). Jesus was without sin, so why would Jesus need to be Baptized? Listen to hear more about what...

But how would a normal sign in the sky come to rest over the place where the child was. Jerusalem is only about 5 miles from Bethlehem. They could have walked there in about an hour and 45 minutes.

If you are not married, think about another significant event in your life. We tend to wear special clothes for special occasions. In Isaiah 61:10, the speaker seems to be the servant of the Lord, the Messiah (see 61:1). Earlier in the chapter, God’s people were given “garments of praise” (61:3).

Sometimes this is referred to as “managing expectations.” It is important to be mindful of expectations in all of our relationships, whether business or personal. Especially in marriage.

And yet, we forget this sometimes. We forget that God is the one who provides, and we take that burden upon ourselves.

Woodworkers have woodworking heroes. Cooks have cooking heroes. As Christians, we have Christian heroes that we call "saints." The point is not that Saints are so much holier than us and therefore must be much closer to God. All Saints were also sinners. Not perfect. The point is that they give us real, concrete examples of what it looks like to live out the Christian faith.

Someone might say something hurtful or unkind. Someone might answer in a way that makes you uncomfortable. Someone might say something true that you do not want to be spoken out loud.

Backwards to the one flesh union of our first parents, Adam and Eve. And forward to the marriage of the Lamb and his Bride in the book of Revelation. From this perfect, heavenly...
