Seventh Sunday of Easter Sermon Sermon Gospel John 17:20-26 Sermon Sixth Sunday of Easter (5/5/13) Sermon Text John 14:23-29 Sermon 4/28/13: Fifth Sunday of Easter Today's Sermon Text: John 13: 31-35 Sermon 4/21/2013 Fourth Sunday of Easter Today's sermon text: Acts 9:36-43. This past Monday the Boston Marathon turned to tragedy when two bombs exploded along the final stretch.  The rest of the week's news didn't get any better.  How do we, as people of faith, view tragedy?  We are Easter people and so trust that God is always working to bring life out of death!  And as our story from Acts proclaims, God uses human hearts and hands for healing in the world.    Sermon 4/7/2013 Today's gospel text is from John 20:19-31.  It's the story of Doubting Thomas, but really, that's an unfair description of the disciple.  All the disciples had their doubts about Jesus' resurrection; no one greeted Jesus with, "Hey!  Glad you're back!  We knew you'd come!"  We, like all the disciples, want proof.  We reach for faith.  Sermon 1/20/2013 Gospel text: John 2:1-11.  Jesus turns water into wine so that the party may go on!  God's grace is like that--more than we ever deserve and far greater than we can ever imagine. Sermon 12/16/2012 This sermon was shared the Sunday after the school shooting in Newtown, CT.  The focus text was from the Fourth Sunday of Advent, Luke 1:39-55.  The congregation joins in singing a song of lament in the middle of the sermon.  The words of the hymn, "In Deepest Night," were written by Susan Palo Cherwien.  Sermon First Sunday of Advent, December 2, 2012 Focus text: Luke 21:25-36 Sermon 11/18/2012 25th Sunday of Pentecost Focus text: Mark 13:1-8 Sermon 9/23/2012 Focus text: Mark 9:30-37 Sermon 9/16/2012 "Will you come and follow me?"
