By Pastor Chris Kennedy on July 01,2018. Based on the Gospel reading Mark 5:24b-34 This weekend we give thanks to God for the many freedoms we enjoy as Americans. In the sermon text, we encounter a woman who received a specific kind of freedom – liberation from illness. The source of her healing, and the source of every good gift, is our Lord Jesus. He is worthy of the highest praise!

By Pastor Chris Kennedy on June 24,2018. Based on the Gospel reading Mark 4:35-41 Kate Spade was famous for fashion and Anthony Bordain for cooking and travel. Now both are linked as lives that ended tragically. Both were sinking in despair. To varying degrees, many people feel that they’re sinking. This weekend’s sermon text shows us that Jesus is present and powerful even when troubles are rising around us.

BY Pastor Chris Kennedy on June 10, 2018. Based upon the Holy Gospel Mark 3:20-35 At some point, everyone feels the sting of criticism. Even Jesus was subjected to negative comments about Him. The Author of truth responded with truth, clarity, and kindness, as we see in this weekend’s sermon text. He endured all things for our sakes so that we might learn from Him and find eternal rescue from all things in Him.

April 8, 2018 Sermon by Pastor Chris Kennedy

BY Pastor Chris Kennedy on April 1, 2018. Based upon the Holy Gospel, Mark 8:27-31 Christ is risen! Easter Sunday is our day of rejoicing that Jesus has overcome death. By His resurrection and by faith in Him, we have new life. Just as the women came to the tomb on that first Easter looking for Jesus, we come seeking the presence of Christ today. His body was not in the tomb, but He came to be with them and showed Himself to be alive. Our risen Lord comes to be with us today. In Word, in song, in His very body anf blood, Christ is among us today, giving us hope for today and every day. Together as His redeemed people, let’s worship our living Savior!

BY Pastor Doug Bielefeldt on March 25, 2018. Based upon the Holy Gospel, John 12:12-19 Today marks the beginning of Holy Week and the celebration of Palm Sunday. As we lift our eyes to the Savior passing by and join with the crowds in proclaiming,” Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!,” another image comes into view off in the distance — the Cross, reminding us that Jesus came not to fulfill our expectations, but by faith, to exceed them.
