Sunday SermonsThe Approach: Receiving God’s Gift of GraceMartin Luther was amazed and moved by the Syrophoencian woman’s interaction with Jesus. Luther saw the gospel in it. “This woman saw the gospel - that you’re more wicked than you ever believed, but at the same time more loved and accepted than you ever dared to hope…On the cross, the Child of God was thrown away, cast away from the table without a crumb, so that those of us who are not children of God could be adopted and brought in. Put another way, the Child had to become a dog so that we could become s...2025-07-1323 min
Sunday SermonsThe Turn: Jesus’ True Identity“Chapter 8 of Mark’s Gospel is a pivotal chapter. It’s the climax of the first act, in which the disciples finally begin to see the true identity of the one they have been following…Here at last Peter begins to get the answer to the big question, ‘Who is Jesus?’ He proposes to Jesus, ‘You are the Chirst.’ Peter is using a word that literally means ‘anointed one.’ Kings were traditionally anointed with oil as a kind of coronation, but the word Christos had come to mean the Anointed One, the Messiah, the King to end all kings, the King who’s going...2025-07-1324 min
Sunday SermonsThe Wait: Learning to Trust Jesus“Jarius came to Jesus for a fever cure, not for a resurrection. When you go to Jesus for help, you get from Him far more than you had in mind…Or take the sick woman. She came to Jesus for healing. But she wanted to just touch and run.” Both the healing of Jarius’ daughter and the sick woman is a foreshadowing of the cross. “Are you trying to hurry Jesus? Are you impatient with the waiting? Let Him take you by the hand, let Him do what He wants to do. He loves you completely. He knows what He’s doing...2025-06-2920 min
Sunday SermonsThe Rest - Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath“The word Sabbath means a deep rest, a deep peace. It’s a near synonym for shalom - a state of wholeness and flourishing in every dimension of life…Jesus is the source of the deep rest we need…When Jesus calls you to rest, He is calling you to take time off - physical and mental time off from work on a regular basis. But there’s another level of rest, a deeper level…Jesus has lived the life you should have lived, He has died the death you should have died. If you rely on Jesus’ finished work, you know...2025-06-1522 min

Sunday SermonsGrowing Ability: Offering Love to Others“According to 1 John 4:7-8, love comes from God and God is love. Because love comes from God and is God, that makes love a bona fide superpower. Think about it: God’s love literally transforms human beings from the inside out. Anger doesn’t do it. Disapproval doesn’t do it. Shame doesn’t do it. The only thing that changes a human being from the inside out is God’s love. Love changed you, and it will be love that ultimately changes any other human being” (JOINING JESUS AS A FAMILY, pg. 139).“When we diminish the real Jesus, we a...2024-11-2421 min

Sunday SermonsTrue Identity: The Practice of Remembering“After Jesus’ baptism, we see why it was so important for Him to remember what His Father said about His true identity: first the devil, then the crowds, and even His own family and disciples aggressively tempt Jesus to abandon His true identity for a false one. Jesus has to diligently practice remembering His true identity in order to resist the temptations, stay on course, and remain fully fueled for pursuing His true purpose, day after day. And the same is true for us” (JOINING JESUS AS A FAMILY, pg. 70).“When we remember to remember Jesus - to re-ap...2024-10-2722 min

Well if you have then you’re in good company. Jesus’ followers asked the same tough questions.
We want to step into the tension. Why were the disciples confused when Jesus said he was the Messiah and that he had to die? It's almost as if they were on two totally different wave lengths regarding His purpose as Messiah.
