June 29, 2020 The Armor of God
This week we kick off our first week in an 8-week series here at SRBC! We
are centering these next weeks around "Common Conversations" that we will
be having at all age levels of our church. Our children, youth, young
adults, and older adults will all have opportunities to discuss the various
facets of Ephesians 6 and the armor of God. We hope that these
conversations bleed into your daily conversations as families as well as
with your coworkers and friends in the community. We will be talking about
things like truth, justice, peace, faith, salvation, and more. Today, we
begin the series with an overarching sermon about the strength of the Lord
and where we find our own strength.

June 15, 2020 Finding God in the Face of the Stranger
They say we live in a tribal culture, and I tend to agree. What I think
they mean is that our so-called tribes have sharp divides that mark
boundaries of what we do and do not believe, what we do and do not value,
and what we do and do not do. Our tribes have clear-cut ways of keeping
people in or kicking people out of the tribe. But let’s not kid ourselves,
our so-called tribal cultural is only so metaphorically. In contrast, some
of the Old Testament is written in a tribal time. Literally tribal; no
metaphors needed. It turns out that their tribal culture has much to teach
our tribal culture about where to find God. In what must be one of the most
underrated and underreported aspects of Scripture, we find that the Hebrews
often found God in the face of the stranger, the one who is not part of the
tribe. Can you imagine?

June 08, 2020 Trinity Sunday
Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday, which follows on the heels of Pentecost,
which follows on the heels Easter. On Trinity Sunday, we have the
opportunity to wrap together the lessons of Easter and Pentecost into a
single doctrine. On Easter we discover that Jesus is Lord and to be
worshiped. On Pentecost we discover that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit
flows from the Father and the Son. And on Trinity Sunday, we discover that
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit live in an eternal unity. What this means for
us, as creatures made in the image of God, is that we are communal to the
core. We are created for community. To live otherwise is to live apart from
our design.

June 01, 2020 Waiting on Pentecost

Fifty days after Jesus’ resurrection, the disciples are still sitting and waiting for something to happen. Jesus has ascended to heaven, and they’re just waiting. Surely they want to know, “What’s next? Where do we go from here?” And then, without notice or forewarning, the building is filled with wind and fire, and the disciples are filled with the Holy Spirit. I think most of us are in a place of waiting right now. Waiting on what’s next. Wondering where we go from here. On this Pentecost Sunday, may we follow the spirit’s prompting and discover what God has in store for us.

May 25, 2020 What Philip Learned
As we saw last Sunday, at the beginning of Acts 8 Philip makes it to
Samaria, and they received him with joy. But Philip hasn't yet completed
his training. He has more to learn from crisis he survived. By going to
Samaria, Philip continues fulfilling the calling of Jesus back in Acts 1:8:
to go to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth. This week,
staying in Acts 8, we find that the ends of the earth are coming to Philip!
On the road to Gaza he meets an Ethiopian Eunuch. He learns that the
harvest is ready, that the world is open to God in a way we should not
underestimate, and it is our job to continue to share the good news in good
times and bad.

May 11, 2020 Forgiveness
In Acts chapter 7, we read about the last moments of Stephen’s life. He is
standing before a council that is prepared to stone him to death for
blasphemy. In the midst of this assembly Stephen has a moment of clarity
where I would argue he see three things. First, he looks up to heaven and
is able to see Jesus seated at the right hand of the Father. Second, he
sees through the actions of the council, stones in hand, and utters words
nearly identical to Jesus at his death. He offers forgiveness. He pleads
with the Father and Son on behalf of those who are about to kill him and
asks that they not hold their sins against them. But why? That gets to the
third thing. I have to imagine that he sees himself with clarity too. As
one in need of forgiveness standing before the Father and the Son, he
therefore offers it to any and all he encounters, even to his death.

April 27, 2020 The Imperishable Seed
Peter contrasts two kinds of life, and he reminds us that we have been
given both. The first is a perishable life that we all know quite well. It
is the life that is filled with good and beautiful things, much like the
grass and the flowers of the field are good and beautiful for a time; but
as the author says, one day they will wither and fall. As he puts it, this
is the life made from “perishable seed.” But there is a second kind for
those in Christ, a life made from “imperishable seed,” a life formed from
the enduring word of God. The questions we must ask are, which of these
lives will we invest in? Which will dictate our larger life choices? Are we
living for that which perishes, or are we living for the eternal and the
enduring?

April 20, 2020 Already But Not Yet
We are in a season that has traditionally been called “Eastertide.” The
resurrection has left behind it a “wake” that has altered reality. Let us
not live as if nothing ever happened. The Kingdom of God has already
broken into our world! And yet . . . not yet. Or at least not completely.
The kingdom is already, but not yet, here. Jesus has defeated death and
sin, but we await death’s death blow. We live between the times. The
question is, how ought we to live in such a time as this?

April 14, 2020 He is Risen!
Easter and Christmas are the two pillars of the Christian calendar. They
root the church in two grand realities that tell us about the God we serve
and shape what we believe and how we are to live. Today we celebrate
Easter. We remind ourselves that no matter how dark the story gets, it
isn’t over until resurrection happens. The resurrection of Christ is the
first fruit of the redemption of the world. It is God’s down payment to us,
where he says, I’m going to redeem this place, believe me. When we shout,
“He is risen! He is risen indeed!”, we are remembering that the redemption
of the world has begun in the resurrection of one man. Surely we need this
message today.

April 06, 2020 Open Palms on Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday, in a vacuum, is a glorious day. The entrance of a king! It is
the celebration of the one who brings peace, humbly riding on a donkey to
take the throne that has long awaited him. But we know that the days that
follow are anything but glorious. The days that follow are filled with
anguish and death and even betrayal. As Holy Week processes, Palm Sunday
looks like a distant memory in the rear-view mirror. The disconnect between
it and Good Friday is difficult to square. And yet, this year of all years,
we feel the disconnect. We do not celebrate in a vacuum but in reality just
as Jesus’ celebration did not exist in a vacuum. And so, on this Palm
Sunday we open our palms and stand with hands and hearts open to where God
is leading us. We may not understand it, and it is not a road we would
choose, but rest assured in this: all of the roads that God leads us to and
through ultimately lead to resurrection.
