When God Makes a Home (John 14:23-29)

3d ago

—

Of course, it's not always easy. Some days, the world drags you into the courtroom and puts your soul on trial. You get accused—by others, by your own failures, by that nagging voice in your head. But you don't have to argue your case. You've got someone who already knows the truth and stands by you anyway. The Spirit shows up like a defense attorn…

More Than Being Right (John 13:31–35)

12d ago

—

Living this way isn’t easy. It means turning away from all the ways we’ve weaponized faith and marginalized people in God’s name. It means learning to see people as Jesus sees them, not as projects or enemies or obstacles, but as beloved children of God. In a world full of hate, fear, and division, love isn’t just our calling … it’s our superpower,…

Normal, Everyday Resurrection (Acts 9:36-43)

18d ago

—

I find it fascinating, and not a little bit instructive, to think that God can make something out of us that nobody ever thought we could be. Knowing ourselves as we do—that God chooses us to embody the love and justice envisioned in this new reign is confounding. But if, when God tells us to get up, we get up and go, the story of the gospel is tha…

Sometimes They Do (Acts 9:1-20)

25d ago

—

Dramatic conversion stories are never merely stories about dramatic conversions. They’re preludes to the real story. In fact, the real reason we care about this story at all is because of what happened after the euphoria wore off. Subscribe to us on iTunes! Sermon text: web | docBy Derek Penwell

Passing Peace (John 20:19-31)

25d ago

—

Jesus didn't say, "I've overthrown Rome! Now we'll have peace!" He simply said, "Peace be with you," while showing them his wounds. His peace bears the marks of suffering. It doesn’t deny pain; it transforms it. It doesn’t require the elimination of enemies; it embraces them. This is why passing the peace is indeed a political act. Every time we sa…

The Dawn That Defied Caesar (Luke 24:1-12)

1M ago

—

We’re the kind of Easter people who don't just decorate the sanctuary once a year, but who live with rolled-away stones and open doors and trembling joy. We practice resurrection in how we vote, how we spend, how we welcome the stranger, how we care for creation, how we speak to and about one another. We’re people who know that the most powerful fo…

I Will Not Be Put to Shame (Isaiah 50:4-9a)

2M ago

—

Words can heal and bring life: “The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word.” There’s nothing quite so wonderful in the world as when you’re told that you’re loved and appreciated, or that despite your belief that you’re alone and despised, someone sees you, that someone cares even when yo…

Hiding the Poor (John 12:1–8)

2M ago

—

Jesus wants his disciples to understand that poor and low-wealth people aren’t some distinct underclass that we can shuffle off to the shadows because they make us uncomfortable. They’re not a problem to be dealt with, not just a reminder of a broken system that renders some people disposable; they’re our neighbors, part of our community. We need t…

Lousy Parenting (Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32)

2M ago

—

This parable is a story about bad parenting, about a father who’s willing to give it all away … even to kids who’ve proven they don’t deserve it. It’s a story about the love of a parent who persists in pursuing us, even though we continue to run away from home or continue to turn our faces from the music, even after we’ve been ceaselessly invited i…

The Days Are Surely Coming (Jeremiah 33:14-16)

6M ago

—

We peer into the distance for the one who will execute justice and righteousness in the land, who will redeem God’s children from ordinary days, filled with the soul-crushing fear that this world of pain and fear, of injustice and bigotry is all there is. We steel ourselves for the call to live as just and righteous right now … in anticipation of t…

How Will We Know? (Mark 13:1-8)

6M ago

—

We trivialize the gospel when we convince ourselves that it’s possible to be a disciple of Jesus without it ever costing us anything. Following Jesus is hard. He asks so much. And he fails to provide us with turn-by-turn directions. He’s a moving target. Can’t pin him down. Can’t control him. Subscribe to us on iTunes! Sermon text: web | doc…

Is This the Best We Can Do? (Mark 12:38-44)

7M ago

—

First, like so many people since Tuesday, the church constantly needs to be asking, “Is this the best we can do?” Then, we need to advocate for a just economic system that protects the vulnerable and refuses to devour widows’ houses. We need to demand a system that refuses to make the poor feel like they’re not full participants until they cough up…

A Pretty Good Place to Start (Mark 12:28-34)

7M ago

—

Love, you see, requires activity. Love isn’t an abstraction; it’s a way of living with other people that takes their needs as seriously as we take our own. The way we treat those who are hungry, the way we treat the laborer, the way we treat the disabled, the way we pursue justice—these all have to do with love. What we care about and what we refus…

Revising Expectations (Mark 10:35-45)

7M ago

—

Popular Christianity promises a Jesus who only wants to be your pal, a Jesus who doesn’t want you to be inconvenienced, a Jesus whose real concern is that all your biases are continually reconfirmed for you. A Jesus who knows what true glory looks like. And, let me tell you, that would be a whole lot easier on me. But unfortunately, I’m not good en…

A Radically Different World (Mark 10:2-16)

8M ago

—

How do we stand with Jesus against a world that too often tramples the best interests of women and the needs of children, that regularly ignores the plight of the hungry, the houseless, the addicted, the stranger, and the outcast?” After all, the world we inhabit wasn’t created just to bless people like us; it was created to carve out space so that…

The Little Ones (9:30-37)

8M ago

—

Therefore, as Jesus embraced the child as a symbol of powerlessness and death, we’re called to embrace our own lack of power, relying on the love and grace of the most merciful parent of all. Moreover, embracing powerlessness in ourselves opens us up to the welcome we must now extend to the little ones, those who’ve been left behind by the rest of …

Photo credit: Wikimedia.org We no longer have to wonder whether we have any responsibility for our brothers and sisters, those who can’t stand up any longer by themselves. We no longer need to ask whether those who’ve been forgotten, abused, or kicked to the curb are our people. Through the grace of the cross, we’re able to see not competitors in t…

Irreconcilable Differences (James 2:1-10, 14-17)

9M ago

—

So, requiring us to live lives that look like Jesus is a pretty tough thing to ask of us. But if I, who claim to follow Jesus, won’t live a life struggling to be faithful, how can I continue to call myself a follower of Jesus? If I, who claim to live a life shaped by the cross, don’t speak up for the weak, the poor, the forgotten, the bankrupt, tho…

Congruity (Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23)

9M ago

—

And even after all this time, the church is often just as quick to erect barriers to keep people out, turning customs into dogma, human precepts into doctrine. Unfortunately, many people’s experience of the church is having the ladder pulled up just as they reach for it. “Thanks for inquiring. But we’re just fine. We’ve already got things pretty mu…

What Will They See? (Ephesians 5:15-20)

9M ago

—

In a world in which every detail has to be nailed down before we move forward, where every nickel has to be accounted for before we strike out, where every eventuality has to be covered, the notion that God is in charge, that God will provide is seen as naïve—if not ultimately unwise. But maybe there’s a wisdom that Christians are called to practic…

When the World’s on Fire (Luke 12:49-56)

9M ago

—

And as painful as it is, Jesus says that for the fire of transformation to be kindled—the fire of God’s change in the world—we have to speak the truth about our current mess and the new world God desires. We live in a world where division feels inevitable, but Jesus announces a world where divisions are healed—not by passively ignoring injustice bu…

The Broom Tree (1 Kings 19:1-15a)

10M ago

—

Elijah goes to God seeking relief, a remedy for the great weariness he feels in his bones. He wants God to change the world, but all God offers to do is change him. Presumably, being in God’s presence is of greater value to us in our pain and despair than any stop-gap measures or dime-store remedies we could conjure up on our own. We often want God…

The Walls That Divide Us (Ephesians 2:11-22)

10M ago

Translation: “Bad Wall” In the face of God, I see one who prefers to tear down walls rather than maintain them, the one who calls to us from near at hand rather than keeping us far off. In the face of God, I can see one who is not satisfied with the distance that separates us, the distance that keeps us suspicious of and hostile toward one another—…

Being Weak (2 Cor. 12:2-10)

10M ago

As long as we think that what we have, who we are, and what we’ve endured depend solely upon our initiative and the strength of our own determination and courage, we wind up flailing about, convinced we can do God’s work better than God. Whenever we start thinking it’s about us, we lose the ability to offer ourselves to the world as a fragrant offe…

If It Sounds Too Good to Be True... (Mark 5:21-43)

In the face of a scoffing world, Jesus demonstrates his faith in God’s willingness to snatch life from the jaws of death by ... acting faithfully. Jesus sees the woman and the young girl through the eyes of God and God’s idea of who’s valuable and who’s worth taking a chance on. In the woman who’s been dead in so many crucial ways for twelve years …
