When Jesus Goes Missing
September 13th, 2020
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 18, in which Jesus tells a parable about an unforgiving servant. Is our forgiveness temporary? Can it be revoked? No. On account of Jesus' perfect sacrifice for us, we are reconciled to God forever.
Matthew 18
A Disciplined Church
September 6th, 2020
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 18, Jesus' plan for discipline in the church. Is there any Good News here? Yes! The church disciplines itself because of the Gospel, to enable the preaching of the Gospel, and then proclaims that Gospel to people, both within and without. And Jesus' forgiveness is what makes it all possible.
Matthew 18
Following Christ is Freedom
August 30th, 2020
Bishop Quigg Lawrence of the Diocese of Christ Our Hope preaches a sermon on Matthew 16, in which Peter rebukes Jesus. Our human impulse is to try to tell God what should be done...to put ourselves on the throne. But this is bondage. True freedom comes from allowing Christ to be King.
Matthew 16
You Are the Minotaur
August 23rd, 2020
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Isaiah 51, in which the prophet tells the people seeking after righteousness that they should keep their eyes on God. This is in contrast to the world's advice ("you do you") and false religion's advice ("become a better you"). The Gospel is that Christ has raised the dead you to new life.
Isaiah 51
Forgiven Much
August 16th, 2020
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Genesis 45, in which Joseph forgives his brothers, and Matthew 15, in which Jesus talks about what makes a person unclean. The bad news is that the problem is our hearts. The Good News is that our true measure is not how good our hearts are, but how much we've been forgiven.
Genesis 45, Matthew 15
You Are That Bad, God is that Good
August 9th, 2020
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Genesis 37, in which Joseph is sold into slavery by his brothers. Our two great mistakes are thinking that we're not desperate sinners, and that God is not that profound a savior. Both are untrue. God meets our great sin with, in Jesus Christ, even greater saving grace.
Genesis 37
