  1. Ready to Live (Easter Sunday)

    4D AGO

    Ready to Live (Easter Sunday)

    Get Ready (Part 7) Matthew 28:1-10 Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026 Life and death are both transformed on Easter: death is revealed to be much less potent than we thought, and life is revealed to be more enduring, more far-reaching, more eternal than we have fully reckoned with. Jesus leads the way into this new and strange life that is free of death's iron grip, but are we ready to live? Bryant Anderson preaching. Current Series: Get Ready Lent is a forty-day period of preparation which precedes the celebration of Christianity's holiest season, Easter. Throughout the church's history, faithful Christians have adopted a range of practices during this time of anticipation, ranging from rote dietary restrictions all the way to full exclusion from the communion and sacraments of the church. These practices—and everything in between—are all intended in their own way to make us ready: ready for Easter, ready to welcome God's salvation, ready to find life in the crucified and risen one. This series explores the many ways we still need to be made ready for what God is doing in our lives and in the world.

  2. Ready to Follow

    Ready to Follow

    Get Ready (Part 6) Matthew 21:1-11 Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026 Jesus rides into Jerusalem—his so-called "triumphal entry"—on a donkey. This little bit of performance art is not only an intentional embodiment of a well-known prophecy (Zech. 9:9); it is also clear demonstration that he has not come to conquer or rule like a human king. It seems that people get the first part (prophetic fulfillment) but fail to grasp the second (a different kind of kingdom). The problem for them—and for us—lies in our willingness (not our ability) to see Jesus for who he is, and then to follow him. Bryant Anderson preaching.

  3. Ready to Suffer

    Ready to Suffer

    Get Ready (Part 5) Matthew 16:21-26 Sunday, March 22, 2026 One of the more difficult realities of Jesus's ministry is that he, in no uncertain terms, invites those who would follow him to accept suffering willingly: to take up their own cross, just as he will take up his. What sort of suffering is it that we are called to undergo, and to what end? Bryant Anderson preaching.

  5. Ready to Sacrifice

    MAR 9

    Ready to Sacrifice

    Get Ready (Part 3) Romans 12:1-8 Sunday, March 8, 2026 In a culture that prizes self-improvement and self-actualization, it seems a strange—even blasphemous—thing to encourage self-sacrifice. But if it is our hope and intention to imitate Jesus, then we cannot escape his call to live lives of self-giving love: precisely the kind of love he demonstrated on the cross.

    Ready to Change

    Get Ready (Part 2) Psalm 51:1-12 & Mark 4:1-20 Sunday, March 1, 2026 Jesus tells a parable of a farmer sowing seeds to illustrate the importance of soil for producing fruit. The season of Lent is a time to consider the ways that the soil of our hearts has become inhospitable to the the seeds that God is sowing, and what we can do to be made ready to change and bear fruit.

    Ready to Listen

    Get Ready (Part 1) Psalm 27:7-14 & 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Sunday, February 22, 2026 Paul warns the Thessalonian church not to fall asleep: not to be lulled into complacency or apathy, content with the world as it is. Instead, Paul urges the church to keep awake, to be ready to hear God's call and discover God at work around them. What does it mean to keep awake today? How can we make ourselves attentive, ready to listen? Bryant Anderson preaching. Referenced in this sermon: John Caputo, What to Believe?

  8. Priorities: Christ over Everything

    FEB 17

    Priorities: Christ over Everything

    Priorities (Part 6) Matthew 17:1-9 Sunday, February 15, 2026 In a world full of brief, distracting “shooting stars,” Christians must navigate by the steady, unchanging light of Christ—placing him above everything else and letting his love reorder our lives. Beverly Dempsey preaching. Current Series: Priorities In the introduction to his podcast, Russell Moore speaks of "holding fast to what really matters": kingdom over culture wars, truth over tribalism, pilgrimage over partisanship, sanity over cynicism, witness over winning, and Christ over everything. As we begin a new year, we reflect on how to set (or re-set) our priorities so that our hearts and lives are directed toward things of lasting importance—no easy feat in this chaotic world.
