When Jesus Is Sleeping – Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
It sometimes feels to even his most devout followers that Jesus does not care about their troubles and problems, but sometimes Jesus seems to be asleep so we come to find our hope and salvation not in what he teaches us or does for us but in his presence with us.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
New Creation Now – Fourth Sunday after Pentecost
The frustration of the Christian life makes it sometimes feel as though our faith and work are in vain, but the present reality of the new creation means that even our struggles are being used by Jesus to grow his kingdom.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
The Real Followers of the Real Jesus – Third Sunday after Pentecost
Many have thought they understood Jesus, but unless their logic, their definition of power, and their sense of community are centered on him, their understanding of him has been lacking.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
To Love God’s Word – Second Sunday after Pentecost
Remembering the Sabbath to us is a blessing, not a burden. The blessings we receive from His Word are without comparison. Everlasting life, forgiveness of sins, training in righteousness.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Matt Meyer.
From Fear to Faith – The Holy Trinity
In Isaiah 6, the prophet Isaiah sees the Lord, and it is a terrifying sight. But in John 3, Jesus invites us to see the Kingdom of God — an invitation made possible by God's perfect love, which casts out all fear of judgment.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Jonathan Lange and William Ellington.
The Restoration of the Holy Spirit – The Day of Pentecost
The third of St. James' three pillars is restoration – God's mission to restore Glen Carbon for himself. The power behind this massive task is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, who brings Jesus into the midst of his people and sends us out under this same power to live and preach the gospel in our town.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
