    01/19/25 | Unexpected and Urgent Grace

    Unexpected and Urgent Grace John 2:1-11 Jesus and his disciples show up to a wedding late. They wine has run out. The celebration is in jeopardy of ending early and possibly in shame. Jesus takes charge and turns water into wine. Not just average wine, but great wine! Shame is not just averted, but the caliber of wine has people wondering why it is so good, and so why now? What about your life is God looking to bestow abundant grace upon grace, or already has?

    01/12/25 | Saved to Serve the Whole World

    Saved to Serve the Whole World Luke 3:15-17, 21-22 In this scripture and message we hear Luke’s account of John’s baptism of Jesus. Jesus’ baptism was God’s affirmation/anointing/kick off of God’s mission to the world through Jesus. Jesus was baptized because the people were getting baptized. He may have been without sin, but he was not too good to enter the turbulent and muddy waters of human life. He came to serve, so that others may learn to serve. In this message we celebrate and correlate Jesus’ baptism to ours, and what that means to us and God’s creation.  Click here to explore and support the ministry of Nativity.

    Lighting The Way John 1:1-9 | Matthew 2:1-12 This Sunday we celebrate the Epiphany of Our Lord. Epiphany means “manifestation”. In the John text, we hear how God manifested God’s self through the Word that was the light of the world. In the Matthew text we hear how curiosity in the Word manifested itself with the magi/wisemen. God is actively lighting a will for your way through the Word that is Jesus in 2025.

    12/15/24 | What Then Should We Do?

    What Then Should We Do? Luke 3:7-18 In the gospel for this  week, John has made it clear that Abrahamic lineage is not a prerequisite to salvation, for God can raise up holy ancestry from stones! John says, “Bear fruits, worthy of repentance.” Meaning, if you repent of your sins, if you confess your sin, say you will turn to God, then there must be something to show for it. And the crowd ask, “What then should we do? Great question, right? This is a question we are all familiar with. At some point in time of our lives, we have asked that question. When the path forward is unclear we ask this question. We may ask it of ourselves, or someone else. When the assignment or expectations are unclear we ask “What then should we do?”. Listen to this message to ponder what bearing good fruits for a God who bared himself in human flesh for us looks like. Click here to support and explore the ministry of Nativity.

    12/08/24 | Peace is Present Where Preparation, and Proclamation Intersect

    Peace is Present Where Preparation, and Proclamation Intersect  Luke 3:1-6 | Malachi 3:1-4 | Luke 1:68-79 Zechariah believed his son John was born for a distinct purpose. John would come to be known as John the Baptist. In the midst of religious and political turmoil, John declared through a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins people could begin aligning their lives with the Word of God about to become flesh. To repent means to essentially say, “I am unable”. We are unable to navigate our earthly lives without sin. Our thoughts, words and deeds affirm this. Through Christ, God makes us able. What is God making you able to do, to the benefit of yourself? Others? All of creation? For what purpose is God preparing and enabling you? Listen to this message, and ponder your holy purpose.

    12/01/24 | Living in the Meantime

    Living in the Meantime Luke 21:25-36 As faithful people living in the meantime, we are called to patience and hope. We don’t scramble and clamor for answers to fulfill our hearts desires. Before we reach our heavenly destination, the end, the day or days of redemption, there is the journey, what I like to call the meantime. But being patient and hopeful in the meantime is not for the faint of heart, let alone the faint of heart for those with faith! What are you holding onto these days? What gives you peace and pause amidst the chaos of this world? Are you holding onto fear and foreboding, onto darkness, or holding onto light and life, hope and promise? Listen to this message to be reminded of how important it is to take in signs of God with us, so that we may be signs that God is with us.
