Fr. Micah Thompson

The Gospel Lighthouse

Isaiah 42:1-9
Psalm 89:20-29
Acts 10:34-38
Luke 3:15-22

Welcome to Worship! January 9, 2022

Thanks for joining St. Timothy today! If we approach Jesus, will we find solid ground on which stand, or get dahsed against the rock? In Acts 10, Peter believed that salvation was only for the nation of Israel, until a stunning vision from the Holy Spirit changed his mind...

Why do we come to Church?

Jeremiah 31:7-14
Psalm 84
Ephesians 1:3-14
Luke 2:22-40

Welcome to Worship! January 2, 2022

Happy New Year! Thanks for worshipping with St. Timothy today! Why do you come to church? People have lots of reasons to make worship a weekly habit. In Luke's gospel, we get a brief glimpse at an interaction at the Temple between the holy family and two people with different reasons for being there. The encounter with Jesus and the interaction between them left them all marveling at the goodness of God.

Why a Baby?

Welcome to Worship! December 26, 2021

It's the last Sunday of the year! Merry Christmas! For today's online service, we are sharing Christmas carols and the message from our Christmas Eve service - Why a baby? Unfortunately, we had to cancel our in person service due to weather, so we will be waiting to hear from Deacon Lyn until her next preaching opportunity! Thanks for worshiping with us!

Heart Habits of Prepared People 4: Praise

Micah 5:2-5a
Psalm 80:1-7
Hebrews 10:1-10
Luke 1:39-56

Welcome to Worship! - December 19, 2021

Thanks for worshiping with St. Timothy today! We've been looking at heart habits of prepared people this Advent. As we conclude this season, we are looking at the beautiful song of Mary, the Magnificat, and the conversation between two pregnant relatives in the middle of God's plan of salvation. One thing we learn is the habit of praise. See how they use their greeting to prepare for the imminent arrival of their Lord.

Zephaniah 3:14-20
Psalm 85
Philippians 4:4-9
Luke 3:7-20

Welcome to Worship! December 12, 2021

We looked last week at the habit of repentance - this Sunday, we are answering what we do next? That's the question that the crowds, tax collectors, and soldiers asked John the Baptist - and it comes up again and again in scripture. Now that we've repented, what shall we do? John the Baptist tells us to bear the fruit of repentance. You can find the liturgy here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WmqvrRyTvBuUi_8dPp2KcWqoG5oVaiIbh49RlocmhkU/edit?usp=sharing

The Bible: God-breathed. Part 8: Revelation

Daniel 12:1-4a
Psalm 16
Hebrews 10:31-39
Mark 13:14-23

Welcome to Worship - November 14, 2021

Thanks for joining St. Timothy as we conclude our series on the Bible! Today, we're looking at the book of Revelation - a favorite of people who want to peer deeply and unlock the keys to predicting the future. That's not really what we find in the last book of the Bible. Instead, we discover that, for all of it's strangeness, it's full of practical encouragement to face difficulty with courage.

Welcome to Worship! November 7, 2021

Thanks for joining St. Timothy today! It's All Saints Sunday, and we are returning to our series "God-breathed". In part 7, we overview the 21 letters of the New Testament, and see how we got them, how they fit into church history, and how they fit into our lives! *This is also the first recording we've done with a live Friday congregation, which was so wonderful, but still has a few wrinkles!
