We continue on in our sermon series and we tackle a tough issue… justice and advocacy. What does it mean to be a voice for the voiceless and does Jesus even care about such things? Listen in and find out.

We begin a new sermon series called, “Dear Church…” where we will spend time looking at the most important things the church should be about. We begin with love. Everything we do is informed by love. Note: the first few seconds were cut off but you’ll get what I am talking about.

There is a reason we like nativity scenes… they leave out a very difficult story that is ugly. However, the hardest stories can teach us the most.

Christmas is a reminder that we can have hope in our future because Jesus comes to us and walks with us throughout our lives and beyond.

We look at another ordinary person who was led to an extraordinary moment… Jesus’ step-dad Joseph. He wanted nothing to do with this moment but God helped him out. Maybe you’re not ready for your next step of faith but God will guide the way.

We begin a new series entitled “Ordinary People, Extradordinary Moments.” God uses ordinary regular people and leads them to extraordinary moments. Today we begin with a regular guy named Zechariah who experienced real life disappointment yet God does something extraordinary.

Life gets in the way of being thankful. I take some time to discuss the things that prevent us from being thankful this time of year.

Have you ever felt left out or to use a football term… have you ever felt like a “second string” player? Today we look at the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19 and see how Jesus can change give us something money can’t buy.

This weekend we celebrated “All Saints Sunday.” This is way more than remembering those who have gone before us to heaven. It is “All Saints” and not just “Dearly Departed Saints Day”. Listen in as I talk about the obstacles of seeing yourself as a saint and hear how Jesus feels about those who struggle.

This is my second first Sunday at Community Lutheran Church in Las Vegas. I begin on a holiday weekend: Reformation Sunday. Listen in as I talk about the importance of the Reformation in 2019.
