Sermon from John 2
“Epiphany” comes from a Greek word that means “reveal.” When someone has an epiphany, it’s not that reality changed. The way they see that reality is what changed, for a deeper truth has been revealed. An epiphany is an “a-ha!” moment causing us to look at things very differently. In the Church Year, Epiphany is the season where we see Jesus begin his ministry, revealing the reason the Son of God came to earth. In this season we will come to understand that when we have Jesus in our lives, it does not always mean our reality drastically changes. It simply means that we see reality differently (and better). Jesus always provides an abundance of epiphany moments.
It is easy for us to assume that if God says “no” to a request, we are getting less than we wanted. We need to have an epiphany moment, seeing the reality—that God always wants more for us than we want from him. Saying “yes” to all our requests would often result in us receiving less joy, less blessing, a lesser life. So, when God says “no” to our request, we can be assured it is because he wants to give us more. Far more than existing as a “help desk” or 911 dispatch, God’s love for us is like that of a groom for his bride. His love for us exceeds all expectation and understanding. In that love, God always delivers more than we ask, not less.

“Who are you?” someone asks. Perhaps you would answer by providing your name. Maybe you would add additional information—where you are from or what you do for a living. We need to understand that none of those things really describes who we are. To answer that question—Who are you?—we must look to our baptism. There, just like he did with Jesus, our Father declares us to be his dearly loved child. Moreover, in baptism God anointed us with power for a life of selfless service. May God grant us this epiphany moment!

Christmas Day
Christmas Day
Lessons from Hebrews 1
This morning the Word of God raises us up above the cute and the trite and the trivial. For many, that is all that Christmas is about but there is nothing trite or trivial in what has happened today: The deepest lowliness is but the mask for the greatest glory, the glory of him who came to be our Savior!

Sermon from Micah 5
Christmas is always a season of high expectations. Promises are made about gifts and get-togethers. The season itself promises us cozy moments and warm feelings. From that first Christmas until today, God has set high expectations by making many promises to his people that all find their fulfillment in the Christ-child born into a manger.
One of the promises God makes to us that is fulfilled at Christmas is the promise of hope. This hope is not simple wishful thinking. Hope is being certain that our tomorrow is better than our today. In the certain promises of Jesus we have the confidence to look forward to tomorrow with all hope.

Midweek Advent Worship - His Name Shall Be Called
Join us as we prepare our hearts and souls for Christmas
During the season of Advent, we prepare to celebrate the birth of God’s Son, who was given the name Jesus—a Hebrew name that means “God saves.” In addition to His earthly name, Holy Scripture calls Jesus by various titles which describe something about His person or work. In this year’s Advent series, we are going to examine four titles given to Jesus in Isaiah 9:6. Those titles are “Wonderful Counselor,” “Mighty God,” “Everlasting Father,” and “Prince of Peace.” We will learn how each of these titles describes something about who Jesus is and what He did for our salvation.

Sermon from Psalm 9
Anxiety affects us all. It is more than shyness or worry but instead it includes an acute fear of being judged. Even the simplest of tasks like talking to people at work or school can bring anxiety because we are terrified that he is constantly being evaluated. Perhaps you have experienced that uncomfortable feeling that others are watching you, trying to find something to criticize. We don’t want others judging us. It is bad enough listening to the voice inside our own head, whispering that we aren’t worthy. How do we overcome the fear of judgment? It begins by realizing that there is only one person whose opinion ultimately matters—the Judge. Everyone is going to live forever but how we will love forever is determined by Jesus alone. This week we see why his judgment need not trigger any sort of anxiety. Judgment day is something we can joyfully anticipate. We can live free from the fear of judgment.

Sermon from Revelation Mark 12:38-13:2
Perhaps you have heard the axiom, “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” In other words, while you still can, use what you have in order to enjoy life to the fullest. If this life is all there is, St. Paul agrees that would be a good philosophy. Paul wrote, “If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die’” (1 Corinthians 15:32). However, note the “if.” Paul was saying that this approach to life makes sense only if this life is all we have. But it isn’t. Jesus will raise us from the dead and take us to live in his home, a place of perfect comfort and beauty. This truth reinvigorates and reprioritizes our life here that we would not value what the world values. Instead, we value what only God sees and knows.
