Listen as we meditate on trusting, drinking, and proclaiming the salvation that comes from God. Based on scriptures Zephaniah 3:14-20 / Philippians 4:4-7 / Luke 3:7-18

A canticle is a prayer found in the Bible that is from a place other than a Psalm. Zechariah's ability to speak was taken away from him after a little talk with an angel. When his son John was born, his power of speech was returned. What's the first thing you would say after being silent for 9 months? Zechariah prayed a prayer of such significance the church is still praying it after him today. Let's look at The Benedictus.

Jesus tells a story about how to choose your seat at a banquet, but he isn’t giving advice on etiquette, or on how to move up the social ladder. He is telling us about how the Kingdom of God works. Specifically, how pride leaves us sitting at the kid’s table in the other room, while humility is the ticket to the head table.

It is pretty hard to avoid the fact that neither the Hebrew Prophets, nor the Apostles, nor Jesus himself, have much to say to (and about) rich people that was comforting or favorable. But when you read closely, none of them were really talking about money. Not really. They were talking about the ultimate condition of the human soul. And that is why Jesus Christ can be good news for both the rich and the poor. Let's talk about that...

We idolize strength: physical strength, financial capacity, political power. We treat weakness with contempt. We dismiss it. Yet God tells us again and again how he seeks out the weak, and he teaches us that the only true strength comes from weakness. Is that just so much mystic mumbo jumbo? or is there really something to that? John 1:19-34

In this sermon, Pastor Dave begins a long series exploring how Jesus Christ truly is good news for all people – and why that means you.  Luke 4:14-20

Jonah was a perverse and bellyaching little knucklehead. Even so, it seems that when God is determined to make use of perverse, bellyaching little knuckleheads, he will get his way. I suppose that means there is hope for me. Check out the full story in the Book of Jonah (it's only 4 chapters long) and listen to hear how God's Good News is for everybody, whether we like it or not. Based on the book of Jonah.

Take one ugly nasty giant. Take one trash-talking, hyper-confident shepherd boy. Pour into a bowl of God's plan for his people and stand back when things start to go crazy. This is hands down my favorite Bible story from my Sunday School days. Listen while we'll talk about why it's a bigger story than maybe you thought it was. 1 Samuel 17:32-47 / 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 / John 18:28-37

Led out of slavery in Egypt moaning and groaning. Saved from certain death on the shores of the Red Sea in the middle of a manic panic. 40 years of school in the wilderness. Now they face their first obstacle to entering and occupying the Promised Land -- and it has REALLY big walls. Was God serious? He wants us to use...trumpets? What is that? Listen and see if this has anything to teach us about following Jesus today. Based on scriptures Joshua 6:15-20 / Ephesians 6:10-20 / Mark 9:14-29

When it comes to the Love of God, are we talking about the love that come FROM God, or our love FOR God. The answer is YES. So on Sunday we'll be looking at 1 John 5:1-6 to see what the Apostle John has to teach us about where this love comes from, what it is for, and where it takes us. One hint: it's all about Jesus.

So...Jesus rose from the dead. Ummm...now what? I think that was the main question on the minds of the disciples a week after the big event. And it is still the question on our minds now. Jesus appeared to the disciples to answer that question. Read 1 John 1:1-2:2, and let's look at what the Beloved Apostle has to say on the subject.  Acts 4:32-35 / 1 John 1:1-2:2 / John 20:19-31

Back then, children grew up hearing the stories of Jehu and Judah Maccabee, so when Yeshua ben Yosef entered Jerusalem that day, it seemed to them like the old stories were coming alive. Can't blame them -- we see what we want to see, don't we? Read Mark 11:1-11 and listen to Pastor Dave's sermon to meditate on how this story reveals the real Good News. Based on scriptures 2 Kings 9:1-13 / Philippians 2:5-11 / Mark 11:1-11

There he goes again, talking in riddles. A grain of wheat, earth, death, fruit. Riddles. I think Jesus loved the layered truth of the riddle (aka "parable"). Therefore, I think the answer may be at least threefold...God's Word, our life, and Christ's body. If that doesn't clear it up, maybe I can make it even murkier for you if you show up Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m for worship. Jesus will be here. Why don't you join him -- maybe he can clear it up.  Pastor Dave preaching on scriptures Jeremiah 31:31-34 / Psalm 119:9-16 / Hebrews 5:5-10 / John 12:20-33

Best life now? Well, no. That's not what he said. He said, "lose your life." Hmmmm. Of course, the twist is that death (in Christ) is our best life, right now. How does that work? I think we should talk about this more. Listen to Pastor Dave's sermon and let's think about what following Jesus is, using scriptures Genesis 17:1-7 / Romans 4:13-25 / Mark 8:31-38 / Psalm 22:23-31

The waiting of Advent is over. And so we gather to remember the birth of our Lord. But it isn’t a birth that we celebrate. We remember the birth because this is how the Most High God has come down to the dirt, to dwell as a human. The ancient words say it this way: “For us and for our salvation he became human.” For our salvation – and oh baby do we need saving.
