19 AUG 2024 · For the past three weeks we’ve been following this significant discourse of Jesus in John 6 where He’s talking continuously about bread from heaven, being the bread of life, etc., and here, at the end of this discourse, Jesus speaks directly about needing to eat His flesh and drink His blood. Crazy sounding stuff, to be sure! What was He talking about? We’ll spend time trying to sort this all out.

Old Testament: Proverbs 9:1-6
Epistle: Ephesians 5:15-20
Gospel: John 6:51-69 S
ermon Title: “Eating Flesh?! Drinking Blood?! Crazy!”
12 AUG 2024 · St. Paul in Ephesians 4 and 5 hold out some pretty high ideals. How are we supposed to read those for our lives today? They sound unrealistic, even crazy! He’s taking us down a path of the sanctified life and to remind us that we still live by grace and are led by the Holy Spirit. At the heart of it all, however, is forgiveness – forgiveness we receive and forgiveness we’re called to show and to share with others. We’ll touch on a lot of very practical elements of our life together in Jesus.

Summer Series: It’s Crazy!
Old Testament: Psalm 34:1-8
Epistle: Ephesians 4:25-5:2
Gospel: John 6:35, 41-51
Sermon Title: “Am I Supposed to be Perfect?!”
5 AUG 2024 · Ephesians 4 provides so much guidance and encouragement for us when it comes to answering the question I pose as the sermon title for this Sunday. St. Paul speaks to our attitudes and approach to life; he speaks to the unity that we’re to strive for; he lays out the very real hope we have and why we have it; we have a “gift list” that expresses how the Lord chooses to use us for His work; and then at the end, we’re told very clearly how we can be grounded or deeply rooted in Truth and how we speak into the craziness of our world today. This Sunday is rich!

Gospel: John 6:24-35
Sermon Title: “How Do We Stay Strong in This Crazy World?”
29 JUL 2024 · We are continuing our crazy sermon series this week and how much CRAZIER can you get reading, studying, and seeing what God is going to say to us about a story where a little boy’s lunch feeds thousands?! Can you imagine what the disciples were thinking when Andrew came to Jesus with a lunch bag with a couple of loaves of bread and five small fish? “What good is that?” may have been the first thing out of their mouths! But Jesus had other ideas… We’ll be considering how our God is a God of abundant grace and love for all of us, that He is not only the “bread of life” but He’s also the One who challenges us to trust Him with anything we can bring to Him of our gifts, abilities, time, and treasure. If Jesus can take a small boy’s lunch and feed thousands, can you imagine what He can do in and through you? Come and join us for worship on Sunday and hear more about what God wants to do in all our lives through this CRAZY story!

Gospel: John 6:1-15
Sermon Title: “Feeding 5000 With WHAT? That’s Crazy!"
22 JUL 2024 · The recording of the prophet Isaiah’s call from God to be His spokesman is pretty dramatic and worth spending some time just soaking in the awe and wonder of what that must have been like. In addition to the miraculous and awe-inspiring presence of angels/seraphim, God’s “train” from the throne, and other amazing things that Isaiah experienced, there are actually some very down-to-earth elements of Isaiah’s call we can relate to. At the end, Isaiah is very inspired to raise his hand and ask God to send him/use him for God’s purposes. How do we get there with that same sense of inspiration and confidence? That’s what we’ll be exploring.

Old Testament: Isaiah 6:1-8
Epistle: Ephesians 2:11-22
Gospel: Mark 6:30-34
Sermon Title: “Could God Use Me? It Sounds Crazy…”
15 JUL 2024 · We’re going to look at the beginning of St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. The opening of this letter is filled with some amazingly powerful promises and guarantees – we’ve been blessed, chosen before the creation of the world, predestined as His children, loving us freely, redeemed by the blood of Christ, forgiveness freely given, God’s grace lavished on us, and MORE! The section ends with the promise of the Holy Spirit, a “deposit guaranteeing our inheritance” – gift after gift after gift! Crazy and amazing! We hope you can join us as we bask in these amazing guarantees!

Old Testament: Psalm 85:8-13
Epistle: Ephesians 1:3-14
Gospel: Mark 6:14-17
Sermon Title: “A Guarantee of Eternity? Crazy!”
8 JUL 2024 · Focusing on the 2 Corinthians reading once again this Sunday, we hear St. Paul talk about what sounds like some crazy stuff. My focus will be on how this section ends, particularly as Paul writes about grace, power, weakness, and ultimately where real strength is found. To read these things through the lens of the world, it’s all upside-down and doesn’t make much sense – it’s crazy stuff!! But at the same time, life-transforming!

Epistle: 2 Corinthians 12:2-10
Gospel: Mark 6:1-13
Sermon Title: “Is Grace Enough?”
1 JUL 2024 · As we’re in the midst of a financial challenge, this is a great opportunity to hear what “crazy” stuff the Lord has to say to us when it comes to our offerings and our giving to Him. We’ll dig into 2 Corinthians 8:7-15 and some of the “crazy” notions that St. Paul holds up for us when it come to our attitude toward giving to the Lord. Both chapters 8 and 9 provide so many wonderful examples, words of encouragement, and reminders of God’s faithfulness when it comes to how we approach giving in our own lives.

Old Testament: Lamentations 3:22-33
Epistle: 2 Corinthians 8:7-15
Gospel: Mark 5:21; 24b-34
Sermon Title: “Giving = Faith? That’s Crazy!”
24 JUN 2024 · In Mark 4 we witness Jesus in a boat sleeping during a furious, terrifying storm. The disciples were confused and finally woke Jesus out of their fear. Jesus spoke a word and the wind and waves calmed. And the disciples were suddenly terrified of Jesus. With what God spoke to Job in the Old Testament reading, it seems that there is actually an appropriate fear we should have of God. But this sounds crazy, doesn’t it? We’ll wrestle with this tension.

17 JUN 2024 · We continue our new summer series this week, It’s Crazy! In 2 Corinthians 5, St. Paul talks about being “out of our mind” for God. He continues to spout crazy stuff while at the same time, clarifying why we believe it, live it, do it. That changes everything, including how we look at each other, how we approach our daily lives, even being clear on life and death.
