Third Church Sermons

This Sunday, we'll wrap up our summer series "Taste and See" with the culminating image of food in the Bible: the wedding feast of the Lamb in Revelation 19.

This Sunday we’ll continue our Taste and See series by looking at a story of the early church from Acts 2. Many have commented how often Jesus is going to meals, eating meals, or coming from meals in the four Gospels. So it is no surprise that when we look at the early church in the book of Acts, they are doing a lot of eating! Very quickly, the meal became a focal practice in the early church for participating in Jesus’ work of salvation. We’ll talk this week about why the common meal was so important in the early church and why it is a vital practice for our life together today.

This Sunday, we'll be looking at a fascinating meal that the resurrected Jesus shares with Peter and a few other disciples in John 21. This story has so much to say about shame and grace, about guilt and restoration.

This week Nan Clarke will be looking at the final Passover meal that Jesus’ disciples share with him, a meal that marks a dramatic and unexpected new direction in God’s story.

This week, we will continue our Taste & See sermon series, in which we've been invited to deeply experience God's goodness. On Sunday we will hear from Drew Cleveland, who will preach on Jesus' invitation to all people to feast at his table.

This week, Charles Teixeira will dive into a moment in Christ’s ministry that shows us the compassion of God which sees our every hunger and is eager to satisfy our needs for our sake and for his glory.

This week Rick Hutton looks at Isaiah and God’s call to give thanks for his great generosity.

This week Elisabeth Hayes leads us in a study of God’s care for the prophet Elijah.
