Matthew 22:15-22 | Twenty First Sunday After Pentecost | October 22, 2023 | Dennis Sanders, preaching
What is our ultimate loyalty? There is the rub. Jesus challenged his questioners when he made them reveal their true loyalties, and it wasn't God. And we have to search our own hearts and minds to know when have we put something else as our ultimate allegiance and our ultimate loyalty.

To Forgive (Matthew 18:21-35)
Forgiveness is at the heart of God's character. It is God who came in the form of a human being to live among us and die for us, canceling the debt that we have as we have sinned against God, and showing how God has forgiven us. How do we respond? How do we show gratitude for what God has done?

The Great Disruption | First Christian Church - St. Paul
Pentecost Sunday | Acts 2:1-21 | May 28, 2023 | Dennis Sanders, preaching

An Anxious Ascension | First Christian Church - St. Paul
Ascension Sunday | Acts 1:6-14 | May 21, 2023 | Dennis Sanders, preaching
Jesus doesn’t remove our anxiety. Jesus didn’t remove the disciples' anxiety, so don’t think Jesus is going to magically get rid of the knots in our stomachs. To be anxious is to be human. The trick is how we respond to it. What this passage tells us is that Jesus brings hope.

The Bonds of Affection
Fourth Sunday of Easter | Acts 2:42-47 | April 30, 2023 | Dennis Sanders, preaching "Churches are places where those “bonds of affection” can be built up. That is the social benefit of churches.

Sermon: The Gospel Order
Second Sunday in Lent | John 3:1-17 | March 5, 2023 | Rob Hamilton, preaching
"Ultimately, at the end of the day, as we go through Lent, that is the journey that we must be about, asking the questions about where is God in this moment, how we understand God, and how do we practice that faith in a wider community. Ultimately, as we develop that discipline, we can come to see Christ more clearly in our lives. And that's what I hope for each one of us now, and for all the days coming forward."

The Other Mother
First Sunday in Lent | Matthew 4:1-11 | February 26, 2023 | Dennis Sanders, preaching
"In our day-to-day lives, we are called to live out our values as Christians which is a fancy way of saying that we are always tempted to betray our values. In our own baptisms, we are claimed by God. For Jesus, knowing who he was helped him when the time of testing came. As followers of Jesus it is always vital to remind ourselves that we are children of God and that as Christ was led by the Spirit, so are we led by the Spirit which reminds us we don’t walk this walk of life alone."

The End of All Jackalopes
Transfiguration Sunday | Exodus 24:12-18; Matthew 17:1-9 | February 19, 2023 | Michael LeBuhn, preaching
"As we head into the Lenten season today, we reflect on the transfiguration of Jesus, the opening of the eyes of His disciples... This new knowledge that changes the way we see God and changes the way we see ourselves, it must not stay in our churches. It must not stay in our minds. It must come with us when we descend from the mountaintop and with us as we travel back to our homes, places of business, communities, and the goings on of our lives."

Fifth Sunday After Epiphany | Isaiah 58:1-9a (9b-12) and Matthew 5:13-20 | February 5, 2023 | Amy Bertschausen, preaching
"Faithfulness to God is not a checklist of things to do in order to be righteous. Faithfulness to God is faithfulness to each other, to all people, especially those afflicted by poverty and injustice, illness and loss.

The Non-Curated Life
Fourth Sunday After Epiphany | Micah 6:1-18 and Matthew 5:1-12 | January 29, 2023 | Dennis Sanders, preaching
"When Jesus tells the disciples and the crowd what God favors he is saying that God doesn’t want our curated lives. God doesn’t want people that look good, but are ugly on the inside or think highly of themselves. Instead, God wants people who are humble, who are merciful and who treat people justly. "

Lectionary Q for January 29, 2023
Lectionary Q is a resource for clergy and the laity to get ready for the upcoming Sunday using a text from the Revised Common Lectionary. This week's texts are from Matthew 2:1-12 and Micah 6:1-8.
What are your answers? What are your questions? Send them to lectionaryq@substack.com.
Here are the questions for this week’s passage:
- This passage is usually called the Beatitudes. This work comes from Greek which can mean blessed or happy. Is there a difference between being blessed and being happy?
- How would you describe the people Jesus called blessed?
- What do the beatitudes say about following Jesus? Is following risky or easy?
- What do the Beatitudes have to say about the state of the world?
Let’s ask some questions from Micah:
- The first part of the passage has the prophet speaking for God. How would you describe God’s feelings?
- Why was God not interested in the response from people?
- In verse 8 it says, “He has told you, O mortal, what is good,” which seems to be the biblical way of saying “You already know what I want.” Do you think the people really knew what God wanted?
- Verse 8 uses the word, “require.” Does require something from us or does God desire something from us?`
