Comfort Your Hearts

Written by Faith2014 on .

When life throws a curveball and one ends up in the hospital, religion often becomes an important aspect of the hospital stay. Comfort your hearts with God and with Jesus. Spiritual care is important at all times, but it is often incredibly needed for patients receiving medical treatment, as well as for their families and loved ones.

Accompanying Scripture:
Psalm 98, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, 13-17, Luke 20:27-38

All Saints’ Sunday

Written by Faith2014 on .

In holy baptism God makes saints out of sinners. In holy communion God forgives the sins of all the saints. In worship today we give thanks for all the saints “who from their labors rest.” In the same breath we petition our God for the strength to hear and lean into the wholeness of the beatitudes in today’s gospel. Sealed by the Spirit and sustained by Christ, we live with joy and grief as God’s people.

Accompanying Scripture:
Psalm 149, Ephesians 1:11-23, Luke 6:20-31

Sixth Sunday after Epiphany

Written by Faith2014 on .

Our scripture readings today discuss the importance of being rooted in love and grounded in God’s beloved community. Blessing comes not from having everything all together but from being in relationship with one another especially in times of struggle and pain. Together we remember how to trust God through anxious times.

Accompanying Scripture:
Jeremiah 17:5-10, Psalm 1, Luke 6:17-26

Spirit of the Lord upon Me

Written by Faith2014 on .

At the end of a year where many of us feel broken down and brokenhearted, it can be difficult to imagine how we will ever rebuild society and spirits. This week the prophet Isaiah reminds us that God is the greatest architect and that the Spirit of the Lord rebuilds us and brings life from the rubble. Listen as Intern Pastor Miriam explores how we too can bring joy and renewal to those around us during this Advent season.

Accompanying Scripture:
Isaiah 61:1-11, Luke 4:16-21

Creation and Fall

Written by Faith2014 on .

This week we return to our roots: the roots of creation. As we hear the story of Genesis 2, we watch God create a profound, beautifully “good” creation. But after creation comes the fall, leaving us with this tension: we are like God in many ways, and we are profoundly not like God in our creatureliness and finitude. Listen as Bishop Leila Ortiz explores the ways we are called to trust in God’s love in the face of the temptations and challenges in our lives today.

Accompanying Scripture:
Genesis 2:4b-7, 15-17; 3:1-8, Luke 11:4

All Saints Sunday

Written by Faith2014 on .

This past post-season, Pastor Kate felt torn between wanting to believe the Nationals would win it all but also thinking they’d probably lose. This is very similar to the Israelite people who were torn between worshiping both Baal and God. Pastor Kate explores what that looks like for us today.

Accompanying Scripture:
1 Kings 18:17-19; 20-39, Mark 9:2-4

Being the Light of Christ

Written by Faith2014 on . Posted in Sermons.

Guest preacher Rev. Rose Mary Sánchez-Guzmán visits Faith to share her experience ministering to the community of Cristo Rey Lutheran Church in El Paso, Texas.

“Jesus already crossed all kinds of borders for you. He came to be the light of the world. How can we not dare cross borders with him to bring his light to others? What we have is not because we deserve it. They are gifts that bring us into relationship with others – and with God, who reaches beyond the boundaries of men.”

Accompanying Scripture:
Isaiah 9:1-7
John 8:12
