We continue with our series on the liturgy with a sermon on Holy Communion and who meets us there. It's God, yes; it's a human, yes; in fact, it's Jesus the Son of God who is our neighbor.

On this Tenth Sunday after Pentecost, we start a new sermon series on the liturgy--divine service--and how God is at work in it. Instead of making worship about something we give to God, the witness of the scripture and history of the church suggests that worship is something God gives us, not the other way around!

The parable of the sower is less about the sower and more about the soil. What kind of dirt are you? How does that effect your hearing of the gospel? Don't worry, Jesus is not just a sower--he's a gardener. Join Pastor Ollie as we find out all the possibilities of good soil in this week's gospel from Matthew 13.

God speaks to us through prophets, and sometimes the prophets tell us simple things. Yet even a simple word from God changes everything. God promises us hope this week through the prophet Zechariah in what would normally be a Palm Sunday passage. Hear about hope from Pastor Ollie here on the Fairbanks Lutheran Podcast.

Fairbanks Lutheran Church had a week of Vacation Bible School, and it's guiding verse (Psalm 25:4) led Pastor Ollie to talk about Revelation (not the book, the idea). God is surprising when it comes to this pivotal doctrine, and Pastor Ollie helps us find a proclaimatory message in it.

Everyone wants to be a shepherd, but we need to find ours from the Lord of the Harvest. Mixed metaphors, mutch? In this sermon, Pastor Ollie discusses the age of influencers and how they can help us view the harvest like Jesus did.

One of FLC's members went through the Rite of Confirmation this Sunday, so join Pastor Ollie as he offers a homily on the confirmation verse Psalm 77:19

Trinity Sunday is often a hard Sunday for preachers. Hear Pastor Ollie's sermon about the love of humanity implicit in the doctrine of the Holy Trinity.

Hear Pastor Ollie's sermon from this Pentecost Sunday where we hear how the Spirit brings about gifts given to us in baptism--especially as we celebrate the baptism of a new member of FLC!

We often hear about Jesus crucified and resurrected, but his work has one final step: ascension. Jesus ascends to the throne of heaven, but paradoxically that means he's closer to us than we realize. Join Pastor Ollie in seeing how Jesus's ascension transforms the mundane task of waiting.
