In Luke 10, we hear Jesus telling the story of the Good Samaritan. There is a surprise here that many of us are familiar with. But it’s also important for us hear the context of this story and what prompted Jesus to tell it and then how Jesus wrapped it up. This speaks to underlying questions people today live with when it comes to so much uncertainty in our world and in our lives.

From 2 Kings 5, we hear the account of a man named Naaman, the lead commander under the king of Aram. When Naaman is diagnosed with leprosy--a death sentence in those days--God uses some rather unlikely people to connect Naaman to not just the king of Israel but to the powerful prophet Elisha. The way Elisha brought healing to Naaman speaks to other very unexpected ways the Lord continues to work in our lives still today.

On this Sunday before our nation’s celebration of Independence Day, we hear St. Paul expounding on freedom in Galatians 5. What is real freedom? Where does it comes from? What’s the difference between what we’re celebrating on July 4th and what the Lord is offering to all who believe in Him? These are some of the questions we’ll explore.

Gospel: John 17:20-26
Sermon Title: “Come, Lord Jesus!" John's vision ends with a plea and an assurance that the Lord is coming soon. We again have to understand God's view of time in relation to His promises, the hope He holds out for us, and the victory which is ours now and will be ours yet to come. We again have more connections to Genesis and Old Testame...

First Reading: Acts 11:1-18
Second Reading: Revelation 21:1-6
Gospel: Luke 24:13-27

Sermon Title: “A New Heaven and a New Earth”

Sermon Theme: The last two chapters of Revelation are packed, which is
why we’ll take the last three Sundays to look more closely at what is here.
Chapter 21 starts out with a bit of eschatology when we hear about “a new
heaven and a new earth.” That, coupled with the Lord’s statement from the
throne, “I am makin...

Live this week from the perspective that YOU are one of those in white
robes, standing before the throne of God, washed in the blood of the
Lamb. Let that perspective speak to how you live, how you see yourself,
how you treat others, decisions you make, and opportunities the Lord
gives you to serve Him.

First Reading: Acts 9:1-6 (7-20)
Second Reading: Revelation 5:11-14
Gospel: John 21:1-12

Sermon Theme: Throughout the book of Revelation we have these
outbursts of song and praise and worship of the Lamb. These songs and
times of worship carry a deep significance for us still today, especially
when it comes to the hope and victory we know in the Lamb. There are
angels, people, and all creation giving honor to the Lamb.

Our Worthy is the Lamb series begins at the beginning!
John very clearly lays the groundwork for what this vision is which the
Lord gave to him. We’ll walk through what some of the details mean for
us when it comes to God’s framework of time, who his intended
“audience” is, the significance of beginning with ...

“The basis upon which Christians can speak to one another is that each knows the other as a sinner, who, with all his human dignity, is lonely and lost if he is not given help…. This recognition gives to our brotherly speech the freedom and candor that it needs. We speak to one another on the basis of the help we both need.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)

Many of our contemporaries alter their faith when tough times come. “I can’t believe in a God who would…” 1 Peter 1:6-9 gives insight to keep us grounded in the grand narrative of Christian salvation even when we want to cry out with Jesus, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

“Modern Christianity tends to think of the church either as a place where individuals come to find answers to their questions or as one more stop where individuals can try to satisfy their consumerist desires. As such, Christianity becomes intellectualized rather than incarnate, commodified rather than the site of genuine community.” (James K.A. Smith) March 23, 2025 – The Third Sunday in Lent Old Testament: Psalm 63:1-8 Epistle: 1...

Modernism has left us with nothing. Back in the Enlightenment or the Age of Reason, leading thinkers believed that science, reason and logic could lead us to perfection. Reason failed. 1 Peter 1:3-5 presents the story—the Gospel word—by which the Spirit of God defines us amid all the stories swirling around us. This is the grand narrative to which Peter gives witness, that God has acted for us by enabling us to live lives of hope a...

Peter reminds his readers that their “Life Together” came from the Word of God. That word came in baptism (“you have been born again”) and in preaching (“this is the word that was preached to you”). By obeying the preached word, a working of the Spirit, they were purified (“you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth”).

That true and eternal word produces love for one another in our ever-changing lives (quoting Isaiah 40:6-8).

Jesus is literally radiating when He was transfigured in the account we read in Luke 9. In similar fashion, Moses, after his direct encounter with God on top of Mount Sinai to receive the commandments, was also literally radiating. Paul connects all these dots, wrapping us into the Story. We, too, radiate, reflecting the Lord’s glory as we are being transformed into the likeness of Jesus. As we wrap up our Radiate! series and prepa...
