Third Church Sermons

This Sunday we’ll continue exploring what “Growing Small” means as we turn to the remarkable portrait of the early church in Acts 2:42–47.

This Sunday we'll look at one of the most famous stories in the book of Acts — the story of Pentecost. When Jesus Christ gives his Spirit to his people, he doesn't just break into our lives, he also breaks us open.

This Sunday we'll begin a new sermon series called Growing Small: The Mission of the Spirit and the Church in the Book of Acts, exploring what "growing small" looks like through the lens of this book.

This Sunday we gather to celebrate our Risen Lord. Jesus is not only revealed and given — he is raised!

This Sunday, Richard Haney preaches on how Jesus is given in sorrow. As we get closer to Holy Week, we are reflecting more and more on the grief, suffering and sorrow of Jesus.

This week we will continue to explore what it means that Jesus is given for us by looking at a text from the Gospel of John. John frames this same truth about the substitutionary love of Jesus with a beautiful personal metaphor of shepherd and sheep.

This Sunday, we'll look at Jesus' prediction of his suffering and death as a sacrifice, offered on behalf of others, leading his disciples on the downward path of service and self-giving love.

This Sunday is communion Sunday, and we'll celebrate that sacred meal by reflecting on Jesus' institution of the sacrament in Luke 22. What does it truly mean when Jesus says, "This is my body, given for you?"

This Sunday we are continuing in our series Revealed and Given, but we are now shifting into the "Given" dimension of that statement. This Sunday we'll look at a key passage in the book of Mark that explores Jesus' own understanding of his identity and calling.

As this weekend brings the final Sunday of Epiphany, we’ll be looking at one of the most significant epiphanies of Jesus in the Gospels: his transfiguration.
