Fr. Micah’s Sermon: “Braver, Bolder, Better”

November 13, 2025 / Sunday service /

Readings:

Job 19:23-27a
Psalm 17
2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5
Luke 20:27-38

“Braver, Bolder, Better” – 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

We often feel like we’re not good enough, and we’re often right about that! So, it’s a great thing that God’s love is not dependent on our good behavior. As Paul wrote to a beginner church, he included a beautiful benediction – a prayer, which showed them (and us) that our good works and words are a result of God’s love, which grows in us by grace over time.

Fr. Micah’s Sermon: “The Final Word”

October 29, 2025 / Sunday service /

Readings:

Jeremiah 14:7-10, 19-22
Psalm 84
2 Timothy 4:6-18
Luke 18:9-14

The Final Word – 2 Timothy 4:16-18

In Christ, when we have lost everything, we have everything we need.

St. Paul’s final words in scripture are about loss and hope. As he closes his letter to Timothy, he recounts how everyone has left him, and while in prison, he does not have a good hope of survival. And yet, he continues the mission and gives glory to God who will “rescue” him and also “bring” him to the heavenly kingdom. 

 

Fr. Micah’s Sermon: “Community Wholeness”

September 26, 2025 / Sunday service /

Readings:

Amos 8:4-12
Psalm 138
1 Timothy 2:1-7
Luke 16:1-13

Community Wholeness (Ephesians 4)

 

“As we are formed, we are sent out to love and serve those around us, communally and individually.” This is the vision of St. Timothy for Community Wholeness. In today’s sermon, we look at the outward facing actions of the church – mission, service, and outreach. As we do these, we hope to see Jesus be credible, conversions to the faith, and conformity among believers into the character of Jesus.

Fr. Micah’s Sermon: “Relational Wholeness”

September 26, 2025 / Sunday service /

Readings:

Exodus 32:1, 7-14
Psalm 51:1-17
1 Timothy 1:12-17
Luke 15:1-10

Relational Wholeness

Why is loneliness so prevalent and so hard? We were made to be relational creatures, and sin separates us from healthy connections to ourselves, to others, to God, and to creation. Today, we look at Jesus’ teaching about the value of lost things, and continue our look at St. Timothy’s Vision for a region transformed by the grace and truth of Jesus, seeing from Ephesians 4 how all believers are connected.

Fr. Micah’s Sermon: “Spiritual Wholeness”

September 10, 2025 / Sunday service /

Readings:

Deuteronomy 30:15-20
Psalm 1
Philemon 4-21
Luke 14:25-33

Spiritual Wholeness (Ephesians 4)

What would it look like for our region to be transformed by the grace and truth of Jesus? What would it feel like? Today, St. Timothy begins a series that provides the basis for our vision statement, “Pursuing Spiritual, Relational, and Community Wholeness.”

It begins with our internal lives. The fundamental problem of humanity is a spiritual separation from God. If our region is to transform our region, we must first be formed. We want to see “Every Person, at every age and stage of life is being formed toward the likeness of Jesus!”

 

Fr. Micah’s Sermon: “Hope and Choices” (Luke 14)

September 4, 2025 / Sunday service /

Readings:
Psalm 112
Hebrews 13:1-8
Luke 14:1, 7-14

Hope and Choices (Luke 14)
On this Sunday, we celebrated a baptism! The sacrament of baptism reminds us that our hopes define our choices. In Hebrews 13, we are encouraged to make a number of selfless decisions. In Luke 14, Jesus instructs us to be humble. Selflessness and humility only make sense if we have a hope greater than our own comfort.
