January 26, 2026 Why Jesus Started His Ministry in Muddy Water
Father Shawn McCain Tieres | January 11, 2026
On the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, we explore why Jesus—sinless and perfect—chose to begin his ministry standing in muddy water alongside broken people seeking forgiveness. This sermon unpacks what "God with us" truly means: not a distant consultant available when we need advice, but a God who descends into our mess, stands in solidarity with the struggling and marginalized, and calls us into that same mission. Discover how your baptismal identity as God's beloved child empowers you to renounce evil, seek justice, and express God's love by standing with those who suffer.

January 24, 2026 Faking It Through Christmas: When Joy Feels Impossible
Scott Madison | December 28, 2025
In the space between Christmas and New Year's, many of us are "faking it till we make it"—celebrating while grieving, smiling through sadness. After losing his mother this year, Deacon shares how the incarnation speaks directly to those struggling through the holidays. Through Isaiah's promise of salvation, John's revelation of the Word made flesh, and the reality that Jesus "tented" among us to experience our full humanity, we discover that God meets us in our grief and calls us beloved even when we're just trying to get through the day.

December 25, 2025 The Power You Never Expected | Christmas Eve 2025
Father Shawn McCain Tierres | Christmas Eve 2025
We all understand the beauty of Christmas—the joy, the gathering, the adorable pageants. But there's something profound we often overlook: Christmas is about power. Not the power of Caesar Augustus issuing decrees or empires flexing military force, but a radically different kind of power. Tonight, we encounter God's immeasurable power wrapped in cloth, lying in a manger, born to a virgin mother in a backwater town. This is power expressed through humility, vulnerability, and love.
Why would the God of the universe choose to enter the world this way? Not as a conquering king with military parades, but as an accessible baby we can draw near to? Isaiah prophesied about this child—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace—whose authority would rest on his shoulders. This Christmas Eve, we explore the beautiful mystery of God's humble power and how it shows up not just in Bethlehem, but in our own moments of weakness, brokenness, and need. When we open ourselves to this vulnerable power through wonder, we become part of God's work in the world.
Wherever you are tonight—full of faith or full of doubt, carrying burdens or feeling lost—God delights in you and has come to make a home with you. Let wonder be your doorway into encountering the Christ child this Christmas.

December 24, 2025 God is with Us when the World Feels Godless
Deacon Scott Madison | December 21, 2025
In a world filled with healthcare crises, violence, and injustice, it's easy to wonder where God is. This Advent sermon explores the profound meaning of Emmanuel—God with us—through Joseph's faithful obedience and God's relentless love demonstrated in Christ. Discover how God is already present in our lives, calling us to embody that divine love for our neighbors even when the world feels godless. A powerful reminder that we don't just wait for God to show up—God is already here, working through us.
Scripture: Isaiah 7:10-16, Psalm 80, Romans 1:1-7, Matthew 1:18-25, John 3:16

December 15, 2025 Choosing to Stay Awake in an Exhausting World
Father Shawn McCain Tieres | November 30, 2025 - Advent 1
In a world designed to keep us anxious, distracted, and scrolling, Jesus calls us to "stay awake"—but what does that really mean when we're already exhausted? This Advent sermon explores the crucial difference between being kept awake by algorithms, fear, and endless demands versus choosing to stay awake for hope, love, and God's coming kingdom. Through the lens of baptism and Romans 13, discover how putting on Christ reorients our entire lives toward what truly matters, inviting us to lay down the exhausting work of self-preservation and take up the liberating work of love.

December 15, 2025 The God Who Didn't Save Himself
Father Shawn McCain Tieres | November 23, 2025
The world's advice in tough times is always 'save yourself,' but Jesus did the opposite. On the cross, mocked and dying, he refused to save himself—and that's exactly how he became King. This sermon explores Christianity's most counterintuitive mystery: how a crucified God overthrows darkness not through power and self-preservation, but through forgiveness, solidarity, and sacrificial love. What would it look like to trust that Christ is king in the exact place where you're struggling right now?

November 16, 2025 You Are the Good News in a World of Bad News
Father Ryan Boetcher | November 16, 2025
In a world that feels increasingly apocalyptic—filled with war, economic uncertainty, and political turmoil—Jesus offers a surprising perspective on bad news. Drawing from Luke 21, this farewell sermon explores how Jesus transforms our anxiety about the world's chaos into an opportunity to testify. Like the bur oak tree with its deep roots and thick bark that can withstand fire and drought, we're called to be communities that embody healing, joy, and worship even in difficult times. The bad news doesn't get the last word—you do, as you bear witness to the death and resurrection of Jesus in your everyday life.

November 09, 2025 Where Is Your Life Actually Heading?
Father Shawn McCain Tieres | November 09, 2025
Using the relatable image of kids running toward the wrong goal at halftime, this sermon explores how our vision of the future shapes every decision we make today. Drawing from Jesus' encounter with the Sadducees in Luke, we discover that resurrection isn't just a distant hope—it's a present reality that reorients our compass when we feel lost, stressed, or uncertain. If you're wondering where your life is heading or need your direction reset, this message offers the weekly reminder we all need: your life is marked for resurrection, not death.

November 03, 2025 You Are Not Alone: Hope Stubborn Enough to Outlast
Father Shawn McCain Tirres | November 2, 2025
On All Saints Day, Father Shawn explores how God's people find courage to act in troubled times, weaving together Halloween joy, community solidarity, and Jesus's radical Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6). When the church raised nearly $3,000 in two days for neighbors facing SNAP benefit cuts, it embodied the kind of "hope stubborn enough to outlast the headlines" that marks true sainthood.

November 02, 2025 We're All In The Mushy Middle: Grace For Pharisees & Tax Collectors
Deacon Scott Madison | October 26, 2025
Deacon Scott unpacks the parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector with refreshing honesty, challenging us to see ourselves in both characters. Through a vulnerable personal story and the powerful reminder that "justice for the oppressed can feel like oppression for the oppressor," he reveals how most of us live in the "mushy middle" of God's grace—part holy, part complicit, but always beloved. Scripture: Luke 18:9-14
