When God rejected Saul as king, Samuel had to learn to trust that God’s purposes were still unfolding. In this sermon on 1 Samuel 16, we consider how God calls His people today—not only to dramatic roles, but to faithful obedience in the ordinary places of life. Following God’s call means learning to trust His purposes, listen for His voice, and see as He sees. Sermon text: 1 Samuel 16:1-13

In this sermon on Psalm 84, we explore the deep longing of the psalmist—not for a building, but for an encounter with the living God. Drawing on personal story and sacramental theology, we discover how God meets us with forgiveness, peace, and love at His altar and table. The sermon invites us to ask God to awaken that same longing in us and to come expectantly to receive the blessing of His presence. The Second Sunday of Christmas Sermon text: Psalm 84

John the Baptist, imprisoned and confused, sends Jesus a haunting question: Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another? Jesus responds not with rebuke but with grace, pointing to his words and works—the healing of the broken and the preaching of good news—as the true signs of God’s kingdom. In our own seasons of doubt and confinement, this same good news meets us with hope, reminding us that Christ is present, faithful, and still on his throne. Sermon text: Matthew 11:2-15
