Transfiguration and the Cross – The Transfiguration of Our Lord
We need a God who is strong enough to save us – we see this Jesus at the Transfiguration. But we also need a God who loves us enough to want to save us – and we see this Jesus on the cross.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
Forgiveness as the Work of God – Seventh Sunday after the Epiphany
When we forgive each other in the name of Jesus we are embodying the love and forgiveness Christ won for us on the cross, living out what it means to be justified by faith, fighting against the work of Satan, and displaying the face of God.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
Holy War, Holy Victory – Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany
Jesus won the ultimate Holy War by dying on the cross and rising from the dead; as a result, we can fight the dark powers of Satan and evil by the power of the Holy Spirit with God's Word and sacraments.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
What True Royalty Does (Esther 7-8) – Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany
The leaders of this world rule by sacrificing others to benefit themselves, but Jesus rules by sacrificing himself for us and sharing his sovereign rule over creation with us.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
The Choreography of Coincidence – Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany
While God's name isn't mentioned in the book of Esther, it's very clear that he is powerfully active through the story, defending his people. Frequently, this looks like coincidental circumstances that turn out for good, but those coincidences are in fact lovingly choreographed by the God who controls all things.
Readings delivered by David Moldenhauer and Joe Rathert. Sermon was delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
How to Handle Trauma (Esther 4) – Third Sunday after the Epiphany
God's people are horribly victimized by an oppressive, evil overlord, but they learn to grapple with the horror of their situation through corporate repentance, faith in God's sovereign love, and leaning on the future advocate, Jesus, who will represent them and successfully defend them against their enemies.
