Sermons on Hope
This week we try to imagine our lives in the expectation and glorification of Jesus’ transfiguration. We try to prepare ourselves to see a world where God could come into at any moment. That any regular moment could be transfigured into a moment of God’s glory and power.
This week we learn about how we are called as the church to be shaped by Christ rather than what the world wants us to be shaped as.
This week we examine the baptism of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark. We learn how we are called to repent as a body, not just as individuals.
This week we learn about the Kingdom of Heaven and how we need to work to imagine it not as a far away place and time, but have it come into our lives this very moment.
This week we remember what the peace of Christ means. We are reminded by the songs and declarations of Simeon and Anna.
This week we looks to the psalms to train us to rejoice and give thanks. We learn that celebration and joy takes practice just as much as praise or lament.
This sermon we finish the story of Moses by looking at what the hope of eternal life means in a world that always ends in death. We look to the hope of resurrection instead of trying to extend our existence by other means.
This week we look at a foundational passage for all of Israel, the institution of the Passover meal. We learn more about the uncontrollable, all powerful God through the story of the plagues and what it means to follow such a God.
This week we transition from Genesis to Exodus through the story of Moses’ birth. We talk about how, as Christians, we shouldn’t have allegiance with any particular political party, but be solely devoted to the Kingdom of God.
