The Lectionary brings the Parable of the Good Samaritan and Jon offers that perhaps we are in the midst of a Jericho/Jerusalem Road Moment. "Will we ask what will happen to us if we welcome migrants... or will we ask what will happen to them if we do."

In light of a very contentious Evangelical Covenant Church Annual Meeting long-time Hope Pastor Evan Goranson brings a word of stability and unity drawing on perhaps the best and most well timed Lectionary Text of the whole summer.

Pastor Jon talks Galatians and Luke 8 from the Lectionary and speaks into our current affinity for siloing in camps. Can we be so brave as to welcome diverse opinions?

Jon takes his best crack at Trinitarian Theology and discusses the communal nature of God. If God is Community with God's-self shouldn't we view community as imitative?

Pastor Jon preaches a Pentecost Sunday about the Tower of Babel and God's command for diversity. Is the church dying because it refuses to diversify?

Pastor Jon preaches on communion and the mystical experience of recognizing Christ in the Eucharist. Regardless of how you interpret the Lord's Supper, there is something sacred about it.

For Memorial Day 2019 Jon takes on the over stigmatized and difficult subject of depression and the church and offers that we can learn from Elijah that anyone can experience depression and anyone can help someone experiencing depression.

Pastor Jon takes the pulpit on May 19th for a joint service between Fellowship Bible Church and Hope Covenant Church and asks what scripture might be teaching us through 2 Kings 22-23 and the story of King Josiah. Key points include approach to hearing scripture, the need for lament, and the reason our faith goes beyond personal salvation.

Pastor CLC walks the congregation through a call to radical solidarity with the story of Rahab: an unlike hero in God's "Hall of Faith". She asks "How can we embody our love for neighbor and go into mommy-mode for those whom we are not biologically attached to?" Will we attach ourselves to the marginalized or continue in service to power? The choice is ours in this hard word from Joshua beautifully exegete by the brilliant CLC.

Jon intros with his treatise against WWJD as he explains our tendency to identify with Jesus rather than those who Jesus heals. The Samaritan at the well takes front and center view in this sermon on how Jesus calls us out of our history and baggage into resurrection life with Him.
