As we finish Holy Week with a great celebration, we look at Peter as shown in Acts 10. In this passage, Peter has fully grasped the reality of the resurrection, and will boldy be a witness to the reality of salvation in Jesus, able to accomplsh the things he boasted about earlier!

Portraits of Peter 3

Tonight, we look at Peter’s “rock bottom” – the turning point that made continuing in his half-heartedness impossible. He stands in teh courtyard and denies even knowing Jesus, and weeps for his own weakness as Jesus goes to his death.
But Jesus does not stay dead. Rather, he rises to new life, restores Peter, and sets him on the path to great things!

Maundy Thursday 2025

Exodus 12:1-14
Psalm 78:14-25
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Luke 22:14-34

Portraits of Peter 2

Tonight, we back up from the Garden to the Upper Room, where we find Peter blustering and boasting. He wants Jesus to wash him completely, and commits to going to prison and dying with Jesus. But he’s not ready. The person he is most trying to convince is himself.
Jesus responds with grace and faith in Peter. Peter, in the face of is desperate insecurity, is known and loved.

Sermon — The Fifth Sunday of Lent: “Perfect Love”

April 11, 2025 / Sunday service /

Readings: 

Isaiah 43:16-21
Psalm 126
Philippians 3:7-16
Luke 20:9-19
Perfect Love
In Luke 20, Jesus tells a parable of vineyard tenants. They are faithful in labor, but not relationship, refusing to acknowledge the owner. As a result, Jesus tells the crowds that they will be replaced – a threat to the Jewish religious establishment. Later, the Apostle Paul writes about perfection, and lays aside all of his faithful labor as “rubbish.” Instead, he presses on toward the goal to win the prize – not perfect obedience, but perfect relationship.

Sermon – The Second Sunday of Lent, “Sin is a pervasive enemy”

April 11, 2025 / Sunday service /
Readings:
Genesis 15:1-18
Psalm 27:7-14
Philippians 3:17-4:1
Luke 13:31-35
 
 
 
Benefits
Sin is a pervasive enemy. It touches every part of our lives, both personal and communal. Psalm 103 beautifully shows us God’s amazing redemption. In this poem, the Psalmist talks to his own soul, reminding his inner life of what it knows to be true. God moves it from deficit to neutral, and from neutral to blessed. He does not treat us as we deserve, but blesses us and makes us live.

Sermon from the Fifth Sunday of Epiphany: “By Grace”

Psalm 85
1 Corinthians 15:1-11
Luke 5:1-11

Fr. Micah's Sermon from the Fifth Sunday of Epiphany

Judges 6:11-24 Psalm 85 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 Luke 5:1-11 It's okay to be "bad" at things. Gideon started as a bad judge, Peter was a bad disciple, Paul was a bad apostle. God saw MORE in them than they saw in themselves. #SundaySermon #sttimsvt
