Guaranteed Miracle

Written by Faith2014 on January 3, 2017. Posted in Sermons.

When we’re sick, we’d do anything for a guaranteed miracle that will cure us. We feel the same desire when our world isn’t well and our lives seem like a mess. This is, in part, the reason that we cling to the Christmas promise of a savior who is born – our guaranteed miracle.

But maybe this idea of a miracle isn’t exactly what we receive on Christmas. Perhaps the miracle we do receive is bit more ordinary than we’d expect.

Vulnerable God – Christ the King

Written by Faith2014 on November 21, 2016. Posted in Sermons.

We aren’t too good with vulnerability. When we choose leaders, we look for those who promise power and might. But instead, on this Christ the King Sunday, we get a God who is incredibly vulnerable; who hangs on the cross and will not save himself. And in so doing, invites us into our own vulnerability as a source of life.

Accompanying scripture:

Luke 1:68-79
Luke 23: 33-43

Beasts

Written by Faith2014 on November 7, 2016. Posted in Sermons.

Daniel’s dream could be something right out of an epic fantasy novel: Four beasts come out of the water to wreck havoc and there’s no telling what will happen. Whatever it is, it won’t be good.

Which is how many of us feel about this election. Pastor Kate explores the election, what beasts may be in our world, and what God’s up to in the midst of all that.

Daniel 7:1-3, 11-18

It’s a trap!

Written by Faith2014 on October 31, 2016. Posted in Sermons.

When Jesus tells a parable about two men praying, one a Pharisee who does everything right and the other a tax collector who recognizes his own faults yet asks for God’s mercy, it’s tempting to side with the tax collector. Especially since Jesus ends the parable in a way that basically states we must be humble.

But what if it’s a trap?

Perhaps there’s more to the story.

Luke 18:9-14
