Rev. Janna Osborne - May 4, 2025

This sermon explores how the risen Christ appears in our lives, often when we least expect it. Drawing parallels between the liberation of Denmark in 1945, Saul's transformation on the road to Damascus, and the disciples' encounter with Jesus by the sea, we examine what it means to have the 'scales fall from our eyes' and recognize Christ's presence. The sermon challenges us to consider what 'blackout curtains' we need to tear down in our own lives so that we might better see, follow, and proclaim Christ - ultimately leading us to feed and care for the vulnerable 'lambs and sheep' in our world today.

Readings: Acts 9:1-20 | Psalm 30 | Revelation 5:11-14 | John 21:1-19

Father Ryan Boetcher - April 27, 2025 (Second Sunday of Easter)

Father Ryan's sermon explores different reactions to Jesus' resurrection as depicted in John 20 and Acts 5. He examine how the disciples initially hid behind locked doors in fear, Thomas's honest desire to see embodied proof, and the high priests' fearful suppression of the resurrection message. The sermon highlights Jesus' response of "Peace be with you" and his breathing the Holy Spirit onto the disciples, connecting this to creation in Genesis and new life in Ezekiel 37. He concludes by challenging listeners to consider what it means to live as those who believe "death does not finally exist" and how the resurrection should transform our daily lives beyond fear, power-seeking, and violence.

Easter Sunday - April 20, 2025

In this Easter message, Father Shawn explores how the historic reality of Christ's resurrection transforms our present struggles. Drawing from Luke's gospel and the 10th anniversary of Resurrection South Austin, he invites us to receive a 'living hope' that confronts the darkness of our world. This sermon challenges us to not merely speak of resurrection but to embody it through acts of love, justice and mercy that proclaim Christ's victory over death and point to where history is ultimately heading.

April 18, 2025 - Good Friday

Why is a day of crucifixion called "Good" Friday? Father Shawn challenges common misconceptions about the cross, revealing how God's love confronts the powers of evil, sin, and death. Rather than portraying an angry deity demanding punishment, discover how the cross demonstrates God's radical love—a love so good it's terrifying—and what it means for us to take up our own cross today. A powerful reflection on the mystery that has grasped believers for centuries.

Maundy Thursday - April 17, 2025

This Maundy Thursday sermon explores Jesus's last meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. Reflecting on why we gather for communion, the message examines our spiritual hunger, Jesus's act of feeding his followers through both bread and humble service, and our calling to nourish others with whatever gifts we have to share. A timely meditation on Christ's love and our response as we journey through Holy Week.

Palm Sunday - April 13, 2025

At the beginning of Holy Week, we commemorating Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem before his death and resurrection. Palm Sunday is a reminder that all that is to come in Holy Week is a reminder that Christ is King, as the prophets declared centuries earlier: “Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey.” (Zechariah 9:9) We will be waving palm branches as we process and declare “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
