On Transfiguration Sunday, Jesus appeared in a blaze of blinding light on the top of a mountain. The disciples with him, Peter, James, and John, were startled by what they saw and heard, especially when the voice of God sounded out from heaven. In this sermon on Mark 9:2-9, Pastor Paige explores how the Transfiguration helps us see our daily words and actions in a new light. As disciples of Jesus, God calls us to show others what our faith means to us, and to shine the light of Jesus for those around us. Through this sermon and our worship together, may you be filled with the light of Christ. May you be inspired to shine it for others.

Hearing Mark’s vivid descriptions of Jesus’ ministry, you might wonder where Jesus got the energy and patience to heal so many people, cast out so many demons, and preach the good news of the Kingdom of God, seemingly nonstop. In this sermon on Mark 1:29-39, Pastor Paige highlights two things Jesus focused on in his daily life to stay balanced between personal encounters where he healed individuals, and public acts where he created wholeness for entire communities. Listen to this sermon to find out what those two things are that Jesus did consistently, and how we can apply those to our lives of faith and keep our balance as his disciples.

We continue last week's theme of purpose and meaning, this time beyond the personal level and looking at the highest intentions of a church community. In this sermon based on Mark 2:1-12, Pastor Eric encourages us to find our hope in the loving authority and power of Jesus, and then challenges us: are we "carrying the mats" for our neighbors who need Jesus too, or are we like the crowds in the Gospel story who won't make room for someone in desperate need?

What's the point of it all? We try to get ourselves (or our kids) into "a good college," we work, we save... we all know the drill. It's life as we know it. But where's it getting us? Jesus offers a different vision for us, a life of freedom, power, and meaning. It doesn't sound heroic. It's not easy or convenient. There are no magic bullets or shortcuts. But it is, in reality, a spiritual journey into our highest purpose. In this sermon based on Mark 1:14-20, Pastor Eric invites us to consider how Jesus is calling us to "follow him," and what we might need to leave behind.

Jesus invites you to follow him and live the joyful and abundant life of being his disciple. In today’s gospel reading from John 1:43-51, Jesus calls his first disciples. Each one has a unique reaction to his call. In this sermon, Pastor Paige shares God’s promise that he seeks us and finds us because he loves us, even when we try to hide. Jesus knows that as individual disciples and as a church community, we have the ability to share with others the amazing love that God offers. Jesus invites us to “Come and see” what a life following him is like. When we respond by saying “yes!” and becoming his disciples, we get to live a life that’s better than anything we could create on our own.

The word "repent" can carry a lot of baggage. It can sound like an angry God giving us an order. But what if repentance is actually a gift of God's love? The second Sunday of Advent brings "repentance" into focus, with readings from Isaiah 40:1-11, 2Peter 3:8-15a, and Mark 1:1-8. Pastor Eric invites us to see repentance as God's invitation to enter more deeply into life, joy, and peace.

What is noble? What is truly glorious? What defines "greatness?" These are good questions to ask on Christ the King Sunday. In this sermon based on Ephesians 1:15-23 and Matthew 25:31-46, Pastor Eric invites us into the way of humility, led by Jesus our King. This road, however, is also the road of glory, for in Christ, service to others is true greatness.

On Commitment Sunday, we invite our members to make estimates of giving for the coming year. As we explore our calling to sacrificial generosity, Pastor Eric's sermon based on Matthew 25:14-30 puts the question before us: "what's it all for?" What if our society's assumptions that we've got to achieve and amass everything we can for ourselves because there's nothing else for us to trust is wrong? What if there is someone we can trust, who not only provides for us, but desires to lead us into deeper faith and a higher purpose? This sermon will encourage and challenge you as you consider how you make use of all the treasures God has entrusted to your use. You can go to our online giving page to find a link to an Estimate of Giving form you can fill out online.

The parable of the five foolish and five wise bridesmaids that Jesus tells in Matthew 25:1-13 invites us to reflect on our preparation, readiness, and commitment to the ministry Jesus has called us to do. In this sermon, during this season focusing on generosity and stewardship at Reformation, Pastor Paige reminds listeners that Jesus is committed to us for the long haul. The more generous we are able to be in our response, in terms of our financial gifts, and our sharing of our time and skills, the more we will be able to bear fruit for our church, our community, and the Kingdom of God.

As we begin our annual financial generosity focus, Pastor Eric leads us to consider our identity as God's beloved children, or "saints," and how living into that identity will lead to renewed generosity in all aspects of our life. In 1John 3:1-3, we learn that we are children of God. But the emphasis isn't on "child," it's on "of God." Your identity flows from the loving intention of God. You are an expression of God's generosity, created to generously bring more good into this world. Who do you think you are? You are a child of God.

This past week, multiple communities in the US have been advised to "shelter in place." This is a powerful metaphor for the state of our society as a whole. But as Christians, God calls us out of spiritual isolation to be involved in his loving work for the world. On this Reformation Sunday, Pastor Eric explores how God's free gift of grace both empowers and calls us to greater engagement and commitment. This sermon, based on 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8, is a part of our annual stewardship campaign, "Re-Engagemnt, Re-Commitment, Re-Formation."

As we kick off a season of focusing on stewardship and generosity, Pastor Paige explores Paul’s message in 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10. The Apostle says he is thankful for and encouraged by the new believers’ faith, hope, and love. The message of Jesus Christ came to the Thessalonians through the power of the Holy Spirit. They responded in ways that their neighbors couldn’t help but notice. Pastor Paige asks listeners how the Holy Spirit is guiding them to become involved in, or re-commit to, serving at Reformation Lutheran Church, so they can experience the joy of sharing their gifts and serving the Lord, together.

What is truly important in your life? Our priorities direct our actions. In this sermon based on Matthew 22:1-14, Pastor Eric explores how Jesus invites us into the celebration of his Kingdom, but the reality is we too often allow other priorities to distract us. Will we let Jesus rearrange our inner world and lead us into a transformed life? Or, will we "take it too lightly" and try to remain unchanged by his grace?
