Sabbath and Redemption – Seventh Sunday of Easter
In the book of Deuteronomy God commands his people to rest one day a week because they had been slaves in Egypt and he wants them to be free from a production-based slavery system designed to own and control them. And by learning to observe Sabbath, we too can experience the God-given freedom from being owned by money, work, and materialism, and find our acceptance in his love for us in Jesus.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
Ascension
Jesus' ascension doesn't mean that he's no longer here; instead, Paul insists in his letter to the Ephesians that it means he now fills all things. In other words, Jesus can now be everywhere where his word is preached, his sacraments are celebrated, and his people are gathered in his name.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
Sabbath and Creation – Fifth Sunday of Easter
God, by resting and enjoying his good work, has built the pattern of work and Sabbath rest into his creation. By faithfully observing God's command to cease from work, we learn to trust him and lean on him to provide for us; in other words, to learn how to live in our justification by faith.

Baptism and the Three Solas – Fourth Sunday of Easter
Many evangelicals feel that the Lutheran doctrine of baptismal regeneration is a betrayal of the great Reformational themes of salvation by grace through faith alone, but in reality God saving his people through the waters of baptism is actually the guarantee of the Three Solas.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
The Resurrection and Me – Third Sunday of Easter
The resurrection of Jesus is not just a good ending to a good story; as Jesus tells his disciples, it's the guarantee that the great eschatological repentance and forgiveness of sins has happened in space and time, and now God and humanity can be reconciled.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
Recognizing the Resurrected Jesus – Second Sunday of Easter
It's important to intellectually believe that Jesus rose from the dead, but in the story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, Jesus shows us how to personally recognize him today.
