Mark 9:1-13 - At the (literal) central peak of the Gospel According to Mark, Jesus's appearance is transfigured as he's revealed in all of his divine glory--the one to whom God the Father commands us to listen. So who is Jesus? The messiah, the suffering servant, the son of man, and the glorious Son of God in human flesh. A sermon by Cameron Heger.

Mark 8:34-9:1 - In this next text from the turning point of the Gospel According to Mark, Jesus doubles down on the difficult implications of what it means for him to be the Messiah, and what it means for the Messiah's disciples. It's a hard word, but an invitation into something more beautiful and grace-filled than we can imagine. A sermon by Josh Wilder.

Mark 8:27-33 - At the turning point of Mark's gospel, Jesus finally asks the disciples the most important question one can ask--who is this Jesus? Their conversation reveals that he is the Messiah, but not the kind they were expecting. It raises the question for us: will we let Jesus be who he is or will we demand that he conform to our expectations? A sermon by Cameron Heger.

Mark 8:22-26 - In another short healing narrative, Jesus restores a blind man's sight. As amazing as that miracle is, it points to even greater realities beyond itself for all who have the eyes to see. A sermon by Cameron Heger.

Mark 8:1-21 - In this passage, Jesus miraculously feeds a huge crowd of Gentiles, but the Pharisees demand more signs and the twelve disciples can't overcome their fears. It's easy to mock the ways in which these two groups missed Jesus here, but we may be more like them than we want to believe. A sermon by Cameron Heger.

Mark 7:31-37 - In another healing narrative, Jesus encounters a man with significant hearing and speech issues. His considerate compassion for this man reveals much about how Jesus's disciples are to understand our king, our neighbors, and ourselves. A sermon by Cameron Heger.

Revelation 2:1-7 - The words of Jesus to the church in Ephesus serve as a powerful call for any who have let their love for Jesus turn cold to rekindle the flame. But how? A sermon by Josh Wilder.

1 Cor. 1:18-25; Mk. 10:28-31; Matt. 6:30-33; 2 Cor. 5:17-20 - The four pillars of Door of Hope have helped shape its identity and vision since the beginning, first as a single church and now as a family of churches. In this message we explore the scriptural bases and key ideas behind the cross, community, simplicity, and city pillars. Just what kind of church do we believe God has called us to be? A sermon by Cameron Heger.

Philippians 3:12-16 - As we begin another year, we take a look at a short passage from Paul's letter to the Philippians for a reminder of the powerful reality of the free gift of grace that God extends through the cross of Jesus. Neither tireless striving nor lazy presumption will flow out of a heart that glimpses what it means to have been made Christ's own. A sermon by Cameron Heger.

Matthew 1:1-2:12 - Matthew's account of the birth of Jesus is all about contrasts: between what the people were expecting of their Messiah and the reality; between the glorious truth of God coming to dwell amongst his people and the actual humble circumstances of his birth; between responses of violence and responses of worship. In this passage we get a fresh glimpse of our glorious God and humble king. A sermon by Cameron Heger.
