The Rev. Nick Lannon

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on John 20, in which Jesus appears to "Doubting" Thomas. The Good News of the Gospel is that when our faith is weak, Jesus' faithfulness is strong. These hard-to-believe things are actually true, for you.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon for Easter Sunday. Jesus' actual (not metaphorical or symbolic) death and resurrection is only prescription that can solve humanity's actual problem--its death in trespasses and sin. Thankfully, Jesus was in fact raised and we have new life in him!

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a Good Friday sermon about Jesus' becoming, in his own flesh and blood, God's wedding feast for us sinners.

On Palm Sunday, the Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon about the difference between the Jesus we want (who will use his awesomeness to make us awesome, too) and the Jesus we need (who will put our striving to death and raise us to new life in him). Thank God, we get the Jesus we need.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Jeremiah 31, in which God promises to write his law on our hearts. Our problem has never been knowing the law; it's always been failing to love it. Thankfully, God promises us new hearts...a promise made true by the gift of Jesus Christ.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Numbers 21, in which poisonous serpents attack the children of Israel, and John 3, in which Jesus tells Nicodemus that, to save the world, the Son of Man must be "lifted up." Jesus is exalted, we find, because he was hung on a cross for sinners.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Exodus 20, in which God gives the people 10 commandments by which to live. In faith, however, even commandments as bald as these can be heard as wonderful promises.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Genesis 17, in which God makes a covenant with Abraham and Sarah, and on Mark 8, in which Jesus rebukes Peter. What does it mean to "set our minds on divine things?" Put simply, it means to trust God, who has promised to save.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on 1 Peter 3, in which Peter makes a strange claim about Jesus preaching to spirits in prison. As it turns out, Peter is showing us that the cross has power both forward and backward in time; that anyone who has ever been saved has been saved by Christ's finished work.

On Ash Wednesday, the Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon about identity? Who are you? The world has lots of identities on offer, but the audacious claim of Christianity is that God tells you who you are: dead in trespasses and sins and then alive in Christ.
