Victory Through Suffering – Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
Jesus predicts his impending death three times in Mark's gospel, all three times the disciples respond by arguing and fighting for power. But if Jesus' death is the way he brings about his kingdom, then his people must embrace suffering and give up aspirations of worldly power.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
Why the Mission Doesn’t Work – Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost
When the disciples fell into the all-too-common trap of believing that the power of God's mission was theirs, the mission Jesus had put them on inevitably failed; but when we trust Jesus to do his own mission, and trust him to bring us along with him, the mission of Jesus' kingdom and church will always succeed.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
Should We Wear Masks? – Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
When do we, and when do we not, obey the government authorities? How do we make decisions about personal behaviors that aren't explicitly addressed in Scripture? Romans 13 and 14 give us Paul's direction on how to navigate these tense questions.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost

The Whole Person – Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Christians tend to isolate one part of their humanity – their mind, emotions, will, or body – and overemphasize that element to the exclusion of the others, but Jesus wants us to worship him with our whole heart.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
How Communion Works – Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost
Because God became a physical human to rescue physical humans, the salvation he won for us on the cross and from the empty tomb must necessarily be physical, if it's to be salvation at all. And in the Lord's Supper this physical salvation is given to his people – through the flesh of God, the Spirit of God, and the Word of God.
