January 17 Sermon: And His Disciples Believed in Him
The grace of God is amazing. It is vast and rich but it is also surprising. The way that God shows us grace is not really what we expect. We haven't earned it. It isn't what we deserve and yet God shows up and does something new in us. In both our Old and New Testament lessons this morning we see God’s mercy and love shown to us and we see how Jesus works to bring us new life.
January 10 Sermon: Getting Wet
As the children of God, we are part of a covenant community. We have union with Christ, but we also have union with one another. This connection to our Lord and to one another is important because it reminds us that we are a called and forgiven people whose identity is not rooted in ourselves but instead rooted in who Christ proclaims us to be in the gospel. In our New Testament lesson this morning we see how Christ fulfilled all righteousness to bring us to himself.
