Just because "everyone says" something doesn't make it true. People have all kinds of ideas about who gets to go to heaven or how they might get there. Jesus says, however, that the door to heaven is narrow, and few will be able to enter it. Jesus himself is the only way in.

Why does God choose to place his light in us, his fragile clay jars?

Vicar Schroeder’s sermon preached on August 17, 2025.

It’s easy to move through life on a “turn by turn” basis— we focus on the little details instead of the bigger picture of where we’re going or what we’re doing. What if we get so caught up in the details that we forget that God is working out the big picture in his way and his time? We can trust him to lead us and to work all things in a way more beautiful than we ever could.

Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

What if the joy you’re chasing today vanishes when God calls you home? Focusing on Jesus’ Parable of the Rich Fool in Luke 12:13–21, we confront the subtle grip of greed that tempts us to anchor our true joy in possessions rather than God’s eternal love. Jesus’ teaching challenges us to pause and ask… When God calls us home to Him, whose will our joy be? And even further…Whose is our joy today?

Is it difficult for you to ask for help? If it is, you’re not alone. As we get older, we want to figure out our problems on our own, making it increasingly uncomfortable for us to reach out in times of need. But when it comes to prayer, God wants us to cry out to Him. What an incredible privilege it is to be able to humbly and confidently approach our Father in heaven with all our problems. As we cry out to Him, our eyes are refocused on Him, the only One who can truly answer our prayers.

Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

In a world where the wants are many, Jesus tells us there is only one thing needed. That one thing might surprise us. It’s not something we need to stay alive physically, like food or water, but it’s something we need in order to live eternally: the Word. Through the story of Jesus at the home of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38–42, we see how Jesus sets our priorities straight, which then frees us to love and serve joyfully.

In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus responds to a religious expert’s question, “Who is my neighbor?” with a story of radical compassion along the perilous Jerusalem-to-Jericho road. A Samaritan’s selfless care for a beaten stranger contrasts sharply with the indifference of religious passersby. This parable challenges us to move beyond convenience and fear, urging us to embrace a love beyond what’s expected by serving a neighbor in need with Christ-like compassion. That kind of love will leave a lasting impact.

In Jesus’ parable of the two debtors, a Pharisee’s skepticism and a sinful woman’s devotion reveal the transformative power of grace. This narrative challenges us to confront the immeasurable debt of our own sins, recognize the boundless forgiveness offered by Christ, and reflect on how this gift inspires a life of heartfelt love and service to others. This sermon was preached by Daniel Buth, a member at Faith who is studying to be a pastor.

In a world that fractures our focus with endless demands, how can we live with single-minded devotion to Christ without hesitation? It’s a daunting call, requiring strength beyond our own. Only through Christ’s unwavering, unhesitant commitment to our salvation can we live fully committed to Him. Jesus’ love empowers us to follow Him boldly, as Elisha did, ready to embrace God’s call without a moment’s pause.

Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

Psalm 127 teaches that lasting purpose in personal and family life comes from trusting God's love and promises, not human efforts that are like sandcastles swept away. Without God's guidance, endeavors like building a strong home life or striving for personal meaning are futile. By trusting God's promises of forgiveness and eternal purpose, believers can build lives and families on a foundation that endures.
