The Rev. Jacob Davis continues our discussion of God's plan for our financial resources with a devotion about the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30). Our God is not a tyrant to be feared, but a good gift-giver to be adored.
Anne Kennedy wraps up the 2021 Fall Retreat with a look at the difference between self-care and the care offered us in Christ Jesus. True rest comes only from resting in him.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Mark 12, in which Jesus summarizes the law: love God, and love your neighbor. This law is holy. The only thing holier, in fact, is the Gospel: Jesus himself.
The Rev. Bryan Lilly continues his study on the Pastoral Epistles with an introduction to 2 Timothy. St. Paul encourages Timothy to pursue fidelity amid suffering, even as the Apostle himself writes from a Roman jail awaiting his own martyrdom.
Matt Kennedy continues the 2021 Fall Retreat by turning to the Gospel: it is precisely in our failures that God meets us.
Matt Kennedy continues the 2021 Fall Retreat with a discussion of how even complete success by the world's standards ("under the sun") cannot bring the satisfaction we desperately seek. This talk is a careful look at Ecclesiastes 2.
Anne Kennedy kicks off the 2021 Fall Retreat with a talk about success, failure, and how we misunderstand the two, diving deep into the story of Lazarus and the rich man from Luke 16.
The Rev. Nick Lannon kicks off our 2021 "Not a Stewardship Campaign" Campaign with an overview of the season and a look at Ecclesiastes 2:9-17. Our calling is not to glorify our own name, but to glorify God's, remembering what he has done for us in Christ.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Hebrews 7, in which Jesus is said to have ended the sacrificial system. His sacrifice for us was once, for all.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Isaiah 53, in which the prophet describes a suffering servant, and Mark 10, in which Jesus claims that his life will be given as a ransom for many. Nothing comes for free...not even your salvation. But that is paid for, in full, by Christ your savior.
