Nobody wants to be a sheep. They’re a weak animal, susceptible to danger, and helpless on their own! But Jesus is our Good Shepherd— in him we find out comfort. His sheep listen to his voice. He knows them by name, and they follow him.

When you think about all the things Thomas had been through lately, it’s not hard to understand why he had questions. But does that make it ok? How does Jesus respond to the persistent doubts and questions of those who follow him? Four simple words—Peace be with you.

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

It’s easy to forget the grim reality of being human— we are mortal, and at some point this will all come to the end. One man breaks that mold, however. Jesus rose from the dead after three days, proving once and for all that eternal life is available for those who put their hope in him.

A man born blind sits at the gate. He didn't end up there as punishment for sin. He ended up there because Jesus was going to walk by. In John 9, Jesus shows us what he does with broken, blind, outcast people and how he does the same thing with us. He comes close, and shows his glory.

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

Sometimes when it comes to sinners, there’s baggage and sin that needs to be cleared on of the way so the gospel can do its job. When Jesus is given water by a Samaritan women, he offers her living water. What is this living water that eliminates thirst for good?

Sometimes people get confused when they read the story of Jesus being tempted in the wilderness. “So if I just resist Satan’s temptation like Jesus, I’m good to go?” Well, that’s no exactly the point. When we look at our lives, it doesn’t take long to realize that we come nowhere near God’s standard of perfection. We need someone to fight for us.

It’s scary to be lost in the dark all alone. Not only does Jesus pierce through the darkness to find and rescue us, but then he invites us to continue to follow his light. How will you respond to such an invitation? What does it mean to fish for men anyway? Pastor Schroeder breaks down Matthew 4 and explains that Jesus’ invitation is for you, and your Savior will give you everything you need to follow him with confidence.

Paul identified a "Jesus-plus" sort of misbelief in Colossae. . . one Satan still tries to use today. But was Christ's sacrifice really all sufficient for sinners like us? Join Vicar Schroeder as he explored how Jesus the Lamb of God has finished the work and given us everything we need.

Have you noticed that none of the characters mentioned in Matthew’s account of the wise men are really that wise? The Festival of Epiphany isn’t about the wisdom of any particular man or woman, but how God has made us wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

It’s clear that the world is broken. Politics, power, fear, guilt, and death itself all seem impossibly complicated. Yet on Christmas, God responds with an elegant solution—one that begins with a baby in a manger.
