  • Paul on Faith 2: Shepherd RSM

    This sermon picks up where last week's sermon left off. Our freedom is not meant for self-indulgence. It is meant to give us confidence that God is with us in all circumstances. Paul wants us to have freedom to reach out to others in love. If we are not successful, that is o.k. We can try again. Galatians 5:1, 13-25.

  • Paul on Faith 1: Shepherd RSM

    Faith in God's grace allows us to have hope even in the midst of difficulties. Faith means that we trust that God is at work redeeming the world. This is not based on our worthiness, but on God's love and grace. Grace is God's love in action.

    Romans 5:1-5

  • Paul on Faith 2: Shepherd MV
    Paul's letters to Timothy really speak to how we cultivate Christ's love in people. Cultivate can be defined as something done to promote or improve growth. When we think about our lives as Christians who are here to love and serve...How are you constantly cultivating the seeds in your life and the lives of others around you? Find the answer to that. Live it. And you will always have and live in a life that is plentiful and abundant in love.

  • Paul on Faith 1: Shepherd MV
    Being a Christian does not exempt you from pain or suffering. It does, however, give us the opportunity that God is with us in everything life will throw at us."The day will come when God will set us free" Eph. 4:30. In the midst of whatever else is going on the gift of the Holy Spirit is God's guarantee for us that the day will come when God will set us free, and in that experience you may find hope.

    The birth of the church some 2,000 years ago was born of the Spirit. It was a time of great change. So today, the church is to be reborn after COVID, changing demographics, and the need for the Gospel in our community.

  • What Now 5: Shepherd MV
    Water is central to the creation story. Rivers in the Garden of Eden; Jesus' ministry begins in a baptism in the river of Jordan. How in the very end of the biblical story with a river running through the city nourishing the Tree of Life. Water is holy, it is what brings life. Baptism is the initial welcoming act of celebration of a person coming into community of faith. I want to remember my baptism all the time, because it was in my baptism that I am claimed by God and marked with the sign of the Holy Spirit.

  • What Now 5: Shepherd RSM

    This sermon will look at the Ascension of Jesus into heaven. What does it mean that Jesus left us in charge? What do we do with that information? How will we manage without Jesus (the answer to that question is next week at Pentecost).

  • What Now 4: Shepherd RSM

    Life after resurrection hopes in more than the life that we experience now. It also trusts that God is a God of history and that all of this is leading to something glorious, something that words cannot describe. This sermon will explore the idea that God (Love) wins!

  • What Now 2: Shepherd RSM

    When the people ask Jesus directly is he is the messiah, he does not give them a direct answer. He says that only his sheep will hear his voice. What makes Jesus the Good Shepherd? Is it because he said so, or is it something more, in the way he loves?

  • What Now 3: Shepherd RSM

    "It's All About Love" -

    This sermon will explore Jesus commandment that we "love one another." Why does Jesus say that this is a new commandment? Jesus certainly elevates loves as the standard for how Christians will be identified as Jesus' disciples.
