Jesus joins the disciples on a level place and "levels with them" about the life-changing work they are called to do.

This bonus episode is the longer sermon that was delivered on January 30, 2022. Jesus sees a woman in the crowd and tells her, "Woman, you are set free from your ailment." Pastor Kristie explores the ailments beyond the physical one, and challenges us to look deeper at our own hypocrisy.   

The people were pressing in on Jesus to hear the word of God. Have you ever pressed in to hear the Word? 

In the middle of his sermon, Jesus sets a woman free from an oppressive spirit that held her captive for almost two decades. Jesus practiced what he preached by stopping and healing the woman to show that actions speak louder than words. Where do you need Jesus to set you free?

Luke 4:14-30 tells us about Jesus' first sermon, in which he delivers a challenging word to the people. They reject him by running him out of town and attempting to throw him off a cliff. "But he passed through the midst of them and went on his way" (v.30). Pastor Kristie explores how Jesus comes to us in the midst of our chaos and our life. 

Pastor Kristie's sermon, The Good Wine, invites us to become more like Christ, the Good Wine, which is poured out for all people. 

In Jesus' first miracle, he turns water into wine. The NRSV Bible says "the water had become wine." In this episode, Pastor Kristie explores the process of becoming who God wants us to be. Who are you becoming? 

Are you filled with expectation for the new year? Do you expect good things to come or are you so tired of disappointment that you don't know what to expect? We can look to the future, even an unknown future, with great expectation when we know Christ is with us. 

We celebrate Epiphany, God’s revelation of the Christ child to the whole world. The magi followed the star to pay homage to Jesus. What does homage really mean, and do we pay homage to Jesus today?

Do we swaddle God? Do we bind Jesus with our wants, expectations, and beliefs? Let us "rip the wrap" this Christmas and allow Jesus to be born again within us.
