Welcome to the 3rd sermon in our series on the Feasts of Christmas. (3 of 5)
Up until a couple of centuries ago, there was no mass printing of books. Individuals had little opportunity to read the Bible themselves. So, the Church put together a calendar by which they would tell the whole story of Scripture throughout the year. Advent was the start of the year, a time to look at the Old Testament and anticipate the birth of the Messiah. Christmas then was the second season of the church year, the time that focuses on the coming of Jesus and the new life that we can have with his coming. In this series we are going to look at some feasts the early church began to celebrate that call attention to what actions our lives should have because Christ has come.

Welcome to the 4th sermon in our series on the book of Jonah. (4 of 4)
The book of Jonah is fairly well known. It has been discussed, debated, and preached regularly. In Jewish culture on the day of Yom Kippur, the book is read in is its entirety as a model of repentance. The story is an assurance that if God can forgive Nineveh, he can forgive us. A reminder of God’s sovereignty over all things and a reminder to pray and bring your fears and hurts before God. Jonah is also brilliant literature. The reader is drawn in with mystery, action, chaos, satire, irony, conflict, and resolution. We are going to try to cover all this in just a few weeks.

Welcome to the 6th sermon in our series on Christian mission. (6 of 6)
Have you ever started telling a story and then gotten halfway through it and completely and totally forgotten the point of the story you were telling? When it comes to the idea of Christian mission, it is easy for us to forget the point of the story. We often start substituting our own preferences and using Christian language to support our own goals. In this series we are going to look at what it should look like to be on mission as a Christian. A mission is basically showing and telling a story. As followers of Jesus we have a beautiful, new, better story. But it is critical that we remember the point of the story, remember our place in the story, and not get caught up in competing narratives. The mission of a Christian is about telling God’s story. That somehow, some way, miraculously we have gotten caught up into His story.
