The sermon series for the Sundays of Easter will be based on the readings in the Book of Acts, a text of great import which often gets too little attention from God’s people.

The sermon series for the Sundays of Easter will be based on the readings in the Book of Acts, a text of great import which often gets too little attention from God’s people. The sermon series is called  "I See Jesus!" The presumption here is that Jesus, risen from the dead, is inhabiting and working through His people today. He is not sitting idly on some heavenly throne listening to celestial top 40. The point of the initial chapters of Acts seems clear. Jesus is not absent but present, but if you want to see Him, look to His people.

Happy Easter! Christ is risen! The Old Testament reading for Easter this year is Jeremiah 31:1-6. It provides rich insight into the joy of Easter and God's Again for His people. May the hearer rejoice in God’s great reversal – death is undone, sins are forgiven, and devils flee in terror! God has promised his Again to us.

Pastor Jon focuses on the words of Paul in the Epistle reading to frame or introduce the massive and massively important account of Jesus’ passion and death. The homily on Philippians 2:5-11 is about 10 minutes in duration. After his homily, Pastor Jon keeps the recording going to let the hearer listen meditatively on a reading of the Gospel for Passion Sunday: Matthew 27:11-66. During this Holy Week, may the Spirit of God guide the hearer of this Gospel lesson to a faithful hearing of Christ’s great gift to us!

All human hearts produce idols, that is, false-god substitutes for the one, true God. Idolatry preys on us by blinding us to the unrestrained goodness of God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. We may think that God is absent. In our text from Isaiah 42:14-21, God makes us aware that He is active in our lives with his goodness (42:13-15). God shows his great goodness by leading the blind because the blind can’t lead themselves (vv. 16-17). Finally, God’s great goodness has taken our death and blindness to Himself, in His Servant Christ, our Lord and Savior Jesus (vv. 18-21). May the hearer acknowledge and rest in the unrestrained goodness of God!

The sermon entitled, "The Lord is Among Us," is based on Exodus 17:1-7, which is the Old Testament reading for the Third Sunday in Lent.  The Gospel reading for Lent 3 is John 4:5-26. May the hearer confess and marvel at the presence of Christ!

This sermon, based on the Old Testament reading (Genesis 12:1-9) for the Second Sunday in Lent, is called, “Father Abraham.” May the Spirit of God conform the hearer to the pattern of Abraham – the man of faith.!
