Who are your good deeds good for? What is your goodness good for? What we often think of as "Christian morality" is quite different than what the Bible imagines. It's not all about us being good for our own eternal benefit. In this sermon based on Hebrews 13:1-8, 12-16, Pastor Eric invites us to receive the goodness of God, a goodness that is never meant just for us, but to flow through us for the sake of the world.

It’s not often that an Old Testament reading for worship brings to mind images of road construction. Today’s first lesson from Isaiah 58:9b-14 announces the ways that God’s people are called to help heal the world around them, by becoming “the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.” In this sermon, Pastor Paige explores how God calls us to take up these titles today. We bless the world around us when we align ourselves with God’s will and act in ways that pass on his love, the love that we have received through his Son, Jesus.

In Luke 12:49-56, we are probably surprised to hear Jesus say he comes to bring not peace, but division. What does this mean? Isn't he the Prince of Peace? Aren't we called to be peacemakers? The problem is that our world is stuck in all kinds of false peace. This unhealthy stability has to be disrupted by the love and truth of God to make way for real peace. In this sermon, Pastor Eric calls us to trust in Jesus and find, in these words, a source of encouragement and a call to higher integrity and purpose.

Have you every longed for something for years, alternating between disillusionment and hope? In today’s reading from Genesis 18:1-10a, we hear the story of Abraham and Sarah receiving three unknown visitors. The visitors surprised them with a message from the Lord that addressed their deepest longing. In this sermon, Pastor Paige tells why it was a message that they had been waiting to hear for years, and yet had a hard time believing. Pastor Paige also shares how the couple’s encounter with the three visitors guides us to build our lives on God’s faithfulness and pass on God’s blessings to the people in our lives.

The parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 is probably familiar even to people who never read the Bible. But it is much more than an instruction to take care of others. Through his insight into human nature, Jesus crafts characters and a story that will offer deep transformation to the lawyer trying to test him, and to us. In this sermon, Pastor Eric asks which way our souls are facing, and invites us to let Jesus use us for the healing of our society.

In this sermon on Luke 10:1-11 & 16-20, Pastor Paige shares a story from Reformation’s Vacation Bible School (VBS), which returned this summer after a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This VBS story helps listeners imagine what Jesus means in today’s gospel reading when he says, “the kingdom of God has come near to you.” The story Pastor Paige tells also invites us to open our ears and hearts to hear Jesus’ call to serve him and to share the good news of his love for the world.

In Luke 9:51-62, we hear Jesus' strange words, "let the dead bury their own dead." It may sound like he is writing off the rest of the world and telling us to wash our hands of it. But Jesus loves this world passionately. In this sermon, Pastor Eric calls us to see what has a claim on our hearts. Whose voice are we listening to? Who or what gets to shape our values, our thinking, our sense of worth? These are hard questions to navigate. But it can make the difference between us being dragged down into the worst, or being a lifeline to lift others to the best.

Luke 8:26-39, a story of Jesus casting demons out of a man and into a herd of pigs, probably seems incredibly foreign to us. But if we're honest, we know what it's like to struggle with things that are simply beyond our power. We've felt like we aren't in control. In these times, Jesus can set us free. In this sermon, Pastor Eric shows us how our ability to be self-controlled and our capacity to be in healthy relationships can be restored by the love of Jesus.

The book of Revelation has many disturbing images in it. In today's sermon based on Revelation 22:12-21, Pastor Eric encourages to see the image of being "outside the heavenly city" not as a threat against outsiders, but a loving warning to Christians facing pressure to conform to the world around us. God isn't locking anyone in punishment, but the danger exists that we will bring the pain of our sin's consequences on ourselves and others. Still, Jesus reaches out in love, saying, "come home."

As the end of the Easter season draws near, today's gospel reading, John 14:23-29, returns to Jesus’ “farewell discourse” and his last teachings to his disciples before he died on the cross and rose again to new life. In this sermon, on the joyful Sunday we are receiving 26 new members into our church family at Reformation, Pastor Paige highlights three of the promises Jesus gives us. Those promises, passed down from Jesus to his first disciples to us, continue to guide our lives and help us grow in faith. Even though we face hardships in our world, Jesus’ parting words of promise give us peace and hope for our daily lives, as well as the courage to share the good news of his promises with others.

Love is not always easy. It can be a challenge, sometimes, to love even those closest to us. But in our reading from John 13:31-35, Pastor Eric shows how Jesus challenges us with a call to love that seems impossible. But in that impossibility, the door opens for us to grow in grace and find Christ's power at work in and through us. You will be challenged, but also encouraged!

It offers us a vision that can open our eyes beyond the evils that we see, allowing us to fight spiritual battles with hope, love, and grace. In this sermon, Pastor Eric uses an example from The Lord of the Rings to show how seeing a vision of hope gives courage to face our ordeals.

After the joyful excitement of Easter morning, we now hear a wonderful story from John 21:1-19 about Jesus eating breakfast with his disciples on the beach. After they share fish and bread, Jesus’ conversation with Peter gets at the heart of what it means to be a disciple, especially now that we follow a Lord who was raised up from death to life everlasting. In this sermon, Pastor Paige invites listeners to sit around the morning campfire with their risen Lord, be fed by Jesus’ words of love, and take up his new call for our lives today.

This is it! The day that matters most: Easter. On this day, Jesus rose from the grave, victorious over sin and death. And now everything is different. But let's be honest: most of the time, we live as though death is still final. We have not learned what it is to be forgiven. And so, in the game of life, we end up running towards the wrong goals. In today's sermon, Pastor Eric lifts up Christ's victory for us, and his call for us to live in a new way by his power.
