Church of the Incarnation SermonsFourth Sunday after Pentecost (Traditional)Rev. Jordan Griesbeck reflected on Jesus sending out the seventy disciples with nothing but trust, showing that real joy is found in dependence on God and others. He reminded us that while life brings both beauty and tragedy, like the recent flooding in Texas, we are always held in God’s mercy. Following Jesus means letting go of control, traveling light, and discovering the power of God’s kingdom breaking into the world around us.2025-07-0710 minChurch of the Incarnation SermonsTrinity Sunday (Traditional)On Trinity Sunday, Rev. Jordan Griesbeck invites us not just to understand the Trinity but to feel it. Drawing from Romans 5, he describes life in the Trinity as marked by peace with God through Christ, delight in being fully loved and approved by the Father, and hope—a grounded anticipation of future goodness shaped by God’s eternal love. The sermon challenges us to lay down our inner wars and step into the house of the Triune God, where we are welcomed, seen, and delighted in.2025-06-1610 minChurch of the Incarnation SermonsFourth Sunday of Easter (Contemporary)On Mother’s Day and Good Shepherd Sunday, Rev. Jordan Griesbeck shared the story of Tabitha—an ordinary woman whose life revealed the power of Christ’s resurrection. Through her acts of love, service, and community with the vulnerable, we see a life transformed by Jesus. But more than that, we see that God invites us to participate in His ongoing work of renewal. Like Tabitha, our everyday faithfulness, even when unnoticed, matters deeply to God and plays a part in His kingdom.2025-05-1416 minChurch of the Incarnation SermonsSecond Sunday of Easter (Traditional)In John 20:19-31, Rev. Jordan Griesbeck reminds us that even after Easter, the disciples were still locked in fear, doubt, and disappointment — until Jesus broke through their walls with unexpected peace. This sermon calls us to see how God's grace still surprises us today, breaking old patterns and breathing new life into places we thought were dead. We are invited to let the winds of God's mercy catch our hearts off guard and open them to joy and transformation.2025-04-2811 minThe Mockingpulpit"Hosanna: Save Us, Now" - Jordan GriesbeckClick here to check out Church of the Incarnation, where Jordan serves as Priest of Christian Formation.2025-04-1509 minChurch of the Incarnation SermonsPalm Sunday (Traditional)Rev. Jordan Griesbeck reminds us that Hosanna is not praise, but a plea: “Save us now.” On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus with hope but misunderstood the kind of salvation he brought. As Holy Week begins, we’re invited to see that our deepest need is not for quick solutions, but for the transforming love of Christ—who enters Jerusalem ready to give his life so we might be truly saved.2025-04-1408 minThe Mockingpulpit"You are Not Alone" - Jordan GriesbeckClick here to check out Church of the Incarnation, where Jordan serves as Director of Family Ministries.2025-03-1111 minChurch of the Incarnation SermonsFirst Sunday in Lent (Contemporary)Rev. Jordan Griesbeck reminds us that temptation thrives in loneliness, but we are never truly alone. Satan seeks to isolate us, yet Christ has faced every trial, the Spirit dwells within us, and Scripture reassures us of God’s love. Instead of striving harder, we must trust that God is already fighting for us. Our baptism secures our place with Him forever.2025-03-1010 minThe Mockingpulpit"Nothing is Ours" - Jordan GriesbeckClick here to check out Church of the Incarnation, where Jordan serves as Director of Family Ministries.2025-02-1013 minChurch of the Incarnation SermonsPresentation of Jesus in the Temple (Contemporary)Rev. Jordan Griesbeck reflects on the Presentation of Jesus, illustrating how Mary, Simeon, and Anna surrender what they hold dear, reminding us that nothing truly belongs to us; all is given back to God.

Inspired by "Avada Hashem" ("everything in service of God"), this sermon calls us to entrust every aspect of our lives- our work, joys, struggles, and even our deaths- into God's hands.2025-02-0313 minChurch of the Incarnation SermonsThird Sunday after the Epiphany (Traditional)Rev.
