11-2-2025 "Being in the Presence of God" by Pastor Glen

All Saints Sunday is an annual celebration as we take time to remember the many “saints” in our lives and throughout history. The Bible defines saints not as a special, elevated tier of people but as all believers in Jesus. It’s one of those mysterious Sundays that lifts us up and reminds us that we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves. Through this day’s readings, we’ll see the importance and value of living daily in the presence of God now, and the anticipation of living fully in God’s presence for eternity. Why is that so important and what difference can that make in our discipleship today? First Reading: Revelation 7:9-17 Epistle Reading: 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18 Gospel Reading: Matthew 5:1-12 Sermon Title: “Being in the Presence of God” As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live stream option.

10-26-25 "Grace" by Pastor Glen Schlecht

With our annual observance and celebration of the Reformation, we hold the four traditional “solas” of this radical change in the church back in the 1500s: “Grace Alone,” “Faith Alone,” “Scripture Alone,” and “Christ Alone.” Through this fall series, we’ve talked about several of these already. This Sunday we’ll look at the extremely radical nature of grace. We talk about it so much here at Immanuel that it can be easy to forget just how radical grace is when it comes to who our God is and how He has chosen to work in, among, and through us. Discipleship flows powerfully out of this gift of God. Old Testament Reading: Psalm 46 Second Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10 Third Reading: Romans 3:19-28 Gospel Reading: John 8:31-36 Sermon Title: “Grace” As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live stream option.

10-19-25 "Truth" by Pastor Glen Schlecht

What is truth and where do we find it? Why is it so important when it comes to discipleship and following Jesus? We’re returning to St. Paul’s second letter to Timothy where, once again, Paul’s inspired writing takes us into some deep and very rich territory when it comes to God’s Word and the power behind that Word. The truth he speaks to us drives a stake right into the heart of our culture and so many of the lies, falsehoods, myths, and confusion of our culture today. Old Testament Reading: Jeremiah 31:31-34 Epistle Reading: 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5 Gospel Reading: Luke 18:1-8 Sermon Title: “Truth” As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live stream option.

10-12-25 "Gratitude" by Pastor Glen Schlecht

Is saying “Please” and “Thank you” a regular practice of yours? The whole idea of gratitude runs very, very deep for us followers of Jesus – and it’s not just a matter of being nice or polite. It has everything to do with discipleship – and from a cultural vantage point, gratitude can seem to be a pretty radical idea. We’ll delve into this using one of Jesus miraculous healings – in Luke 17 when He healed 10 people afflicted with leprosy. The gratitude displayed by one of those men moved Jesus to speak of the power of gratitude for the believer. Old Testament Reading: Jeremiah 29:1, 4-7 Epistle Reading: 2 Timothy 2:8-15 Gospel Reading: Luke 17:11-19 Sermon Title: “Gratitude” As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live stream option.

10-5-25 "Suffering for the Gospel" by Pastor Glen Schlecht

“What exactly did I sign up for?” After reading the opening of St. Paul’s second letter to Timothy, that might be precisely what you wonder as a follower of Jesus. Paul here expresses all manner of radical notions when it comes to our discipleship as God’s people living in this world. He speaks about the power of the Word, the working of the Holy Spirit, being given not a spirit of timidity but of power, love, and self-control. He writes about suffering for the Gospel and living holy lives. And there’s more! This can feel like some pretty radical idealism – but is it? Or is there some reality to what Paul was inspired to write to us? Old Testament Reading: Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4 Epistle Reading: 2 Timothy 1:1-14 Gospel Reading: Luke 17:5-10 Sermon Title: “Suffering for the Gospel”

9-28-25 "Contentment" by Pastor Glen Schlecht

We live in a culture of abundance and a societal mindset of “More! More! More!” How do we combat that as Christians? Do we combat it? Should we combat it? Or is it OK to buy into this cultural cadence? St. Paul has a little bit to say about this near the end of his letter in 1 Timothy and what he shares is very counter-cultural and radical! Old Testament Reading: Amos 6:1a, 4-7 Epistle Reading: 1 Timothy 6:6-19 Gospel Reading: Luke 16:19-31 Sermon Title: “Contentment”

9-21-25 “Radical Hospitality” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

In the 1 Timothy reading, St. Paul expresses God’s ultimate will and desire – that ALL people be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. That sounds great on paper and in theory, but what happens when we really believe that God wants ALL people to be saved. Think about some of the people in your life, people we hear about on podcasts, people we read about in various new sources, people who are different from us, who believe differently, live differently, people who do evil or terrible things – all of them? Hmmm. We need to talk about this in light of Immanuel’s own mission and vision, a piece of which speaks of “radical hospitality.” Old Testament Reading: Amos 8:4-7 Epistle Reading: 1 Timothy 2:1-7 Gospel Reading: Luke 16:10-13 Sermon Title: “Radical Hospitality” As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live stream option.

9-14-25 “Taking the Mission Seriously” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

When it comes to discipleship, we talk about outreach or the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) regularly. But to actually live it out can be a radical move when it comes to our discipleship. We’ll dig deeper into this from the story of the lost sheep that Jesus tells in Luke 15, which serves as a radical (read “crazy” and “bad”!) idea for a shepherd. How does it look for us to take our Lord’s mission of reaching others seriously? We’ll think about some practical ways that we can pursue this. Old Testament Reading: Exodus 32:7-14 Epistle Readings: 1 Timothy 1:12-17 Gospel Reading: Luke 15:1-10 Sermon Title: “Taking the Mission Seriously” As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live stream option.
