Holy Trinity Ankeny episodes
- WHAT CHRIST FINDS: June 14, 2026We are remarkably committed to carrying things alone. Even when help is available. Even when the effort costs us more than accepting it. Somewhere in all that stubborn self-sufficiency, a belief settles in so quietly we don't notice it arriving: no one is coming. Matthew 9:35–10:8 | Exodus 19:2-8a | Romans 5:1-817 min
- ANOTHER WORD: June 7, 2026The world is very good at speaking final words over us. And we have been carrying some of them for a long time. But there is someone who keeps showing up, past the booth, past the crowd, past the bedside, and he is not done speaking. That word has your name on it. Matthew 9:9-13, 18-2618 min
- INTO THE CHAOS: May 31, 2026We have been gripping for a very long time. Managing the unformed places. Performing a certainty we do not have. Because somewhere underneath everything, we believe that chaos means God has already looked away. But that is not how this story begins. Genesis 1:1-2:4a | 2 Corinthians 13:11-13 | Matthew 28:16-2015 min
- THE RIVER ALREADY KNOWS: May 24, 2026We have spent a long time on the bank. Watching. Admiring. Keeping ourselves dry and in control. But there is a current underneath all of it that has been moving the whole time, and it didn't ask our permission before it started. The question Pentecost keeps asking is the one we keep not answering. John 7:37-39 | Acts 2:1-21 | 1 Corinthians 12:3b-1318 min
- THE HALLWAY: May 17, 2026We are waiting. We have been waiting. For the door to open, for things to resolve, for real life to finally start again. What if we've been wrong about which room we're in? John 17:1-11 | Acts 1:6-14 | 1 Peter 4:12-14; 5:6-1117 min
- TO THE UNKNOWN GOD: May 10, 2026We are exhausted. Not tired. Exhausted. And we cannot stop. We have been building altars about it for a very long time. And none of them are working. But there is another way. Acts 17:22-31 | John 14:15-21 | 1 Peter 3:13-2216 min
- THE STONE WE DON'T RECOGNIZE: May 3, 2026An arrest. A sermon. A challenge. A response. The stones didn't come from the faithless ones. Just ask Caiaphas. Acts 7:55–60 |1 Peter 2:2–10 | John 14:1–1417 min
- NOT EVERY VOICE: April 26, 2026There are a lot of voices. And most of them sound convincing. But not every voice gives life. John 10:1-1018 min
- ROAD TO NOWHERE: April 19, 2026
When two of the disciples who followed Jesus left town after the crucifixion, they took the road to Emmaus. It was a road to nowhere. Their hopes for the Messiah were broken; Jesus' death brought grief and despair. The "powers that be" had one more crushed hope on the wheels of history. They could not even recognize Jesus when he began to walk with them on this dark road. Then, however, Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them and they could see him. Hope rekindled sent them scurrying back up the road to Jerusalem on the road to somewhere.
18 min - STUCK: April 12, 2026
The response to Jesus' death in John's gospel is grief, fear, and unbelief. His followers are stuck and unable to set themselves free. The appearance of the resurrected Jesus sets them free and puts them on a new path. We are people who know about being stuck in grief, fear, and unbelief. These are hallmarks of our world. How does the resurrection set us free?
