Don't Leave Before the End — The Wheat and the Weeds

We are impatient creatures. When the field looks like a mess — or the game looks lost — we're tempted to pack it in and head for the exits, sure we already know how it ends. In this sermon on the Parable of the Weeds (Matthew 13:24–30, 36–43), we consider Jesus' warning: not to the weeds, but to those of us tempted to pull them up prematurely. God is unworried, unhurried, and in control. None of us know the final score until the end — and the good news is that it was never ours to call. Christ is the Lord of the harvest, and our task is simply to grow, patient in hope, until the season is complete.

Out of Step with the Tune

On this Fourth of July, we ask an old question with a modern edge: what happens when Jesus refuses to fit the mold we've built for him? Through Matthew 11 and the story of a Civil War general who was branded a traitor for following his conscience, we explore why every generation tries to make God dance to its own tune — and what it costs to stay faithful when he won't. Come find out where real rest is actually found.

The Reason for Discipleship

Over the course of the past few weeks, we have been listening to the warnings that Jesus will give his disciples about the cost of discipleship. We can all become an easy as we wonder why we are still going ahead with so many dangers facing us. It is like that with every skill with which we engage; but a reminder of the promise and the purpose reorients us to the reason why we do what we do.

A Faith That's Sufficient

The Japanese automotive company Toyota is known for its "Toyota Way" which uses 14 points to get rid of "muda," or "waste." Waste and futile ambitions are everywhere in life. The biggest hurdle to discipleship isn't rejection so much as distraction. In our lesson Jesus reassures His disciples against three common distractions ... three kinds of Spiritual muda: distractions of being holy on our own, distractions of rejection, and distractions of being out of step with our communities. The answer to these issues isn't to double down on our own spirituality, but instead realize that Christ's grace is sufficient for our needs.

1 & 2 Peter Session 3

In this session we go deeper into understanding how Christ's completed work allows us to live out our lives in the here and now. We see that Christ has accomplished it all as a fulfillment of God's covenant to His people (especially in Isaiah 53 and Psalm 34). Finally, we set our face to how Peter will use all that he has said to make a case for true discipleship of the whole person.

Compassion, Prayer, then Mission

We often worry about whether God sees us in our need or, if He does, we wonder what we should do about it. In our lesson from this Sunday, we are told that Jesus sees our need and has compassion on us. He then tells us to prayer so that we see the world as He does. Then we are sent out to point the way to bringing the world into alignment with God's plan. Through it all, it isn't our works that do anything or anxieties that bring about the Kingdom; but rather God's vision that gives His church purpose.

The Way of Discipleship

So often we wonder what we are supposed to do as Christians, especially when we doubt and feel unworthy; but Jesus reminds us that He is in control of everything, sends us out to make disciples through baptism and teaching, and that he won't let us do this alone. Even here, at the most explicit place of Christ's command for us, His promises sustain us.

The Promised Home

We often feel a strong urge to move forward, sometimes so much that we overlook what truly matters. Today’s Gospel reading shows Jesus facing His disciples’ constant need to know what to do next. He tells them that He is the way, the truth, and the life, offering them a home in His relationship with the Father, which will give them a mission. Just as Jesus promised His disciples, He promises us this so we can share it with everyone we meet.

Faith by His Presence

Faith can sometimes feel far away, but when look at Jesus, we find our reassurance. Jesus’ power can break into any room, but it’s his presence that draws us near. His power rescues; his presence makes trust possible. His power conquers death; his Spirit’s presence gives life. Our Gospel today explores how faith is not achieved by intensity or certainty, but received as a gift when the risen Christ keeps showing up — even behind our locked doors.

The Death of Death and the Terror of Joy

In Matthew 28:1–10, the angel’s three commands—fear not, come and see, go and tell—pull us into the shocking good news that the resurrection has shattered the world we thought we knew. “Fear not” confronts the way we’ve grown accustomed to death’s supposed inevitability, exposing how small our expectations have become. “Come and see” invites us to look straight into the emptiness of the tomb and reckon with a reality where death has been hollowed out and defeated. And “go and tell” sends us running with the same breathless urgency as the women, carrying the only news that can reorder the world: He is risen, just as He said.
