Show notes

This Sunday we continue our reflections on Jesus’s sermon on the mount as presented in Matthew’s gospel. This week Jesus begins issuing, as the new Moses, the Torah for his people; and yet before doing so he insists his Torah is by no means a displacing of the first Torah but is rather what the Law, the Writings, and the Prophets had anticipated all along.

#96. September 13 - Rev. Shane Page Sep 13, 2020

Show notes

This Sunday and through October we will begin a new sermon series during which we will reflect on the great text of Matthew's gospel, the Sermon on the Mount. It is, in many ways, the great charter of the Christian life, what our Lord expects us, and even demands us, to be. This week Jesus launches into the sermon by first telling us less what we should do--Jesus seldom trafficked in moralisms--than who we are. "You are the salt of the earth," says the Lord, "and the light of the world." This Sunday let's consider it.

#94. September 6 - Rev. Dianne Lawhorn Sep 06, 2020

Show notes

We continue in our lectionary-based sermons this week with another gospel lesson from Matthew 18:15-20. Some find this passage offensive, with it’s hard-hitting instructions about how to handle conflict in the church. This passage is an example of how the Bible has instruction about every aspect of our lives, including our relationships with each other. It gives us a picture of what healthy relationships in the Body of Christ can look like. At the heart of this passage is a message about forgiveness and reconciliation that should not be overlooked. Reconciliation is the work that God has been up to from the very beginning, that He sent his son into the world to accomplish, and that He expects us to continue living out in the world!

#92. August 30 - Rev. Shane Page Aug 30, 2020

Show notes

Last week we heard Peter making his bold profession that Jesus was indeed the Christ, the Son of the living God. Peter’s profession, as we discussed, is the true key, the true rock on which the Church stands today. Jesus intended to form a community of people whose lives would demonstrate that a New King sits on the throne. This Sunday the tone shifts. After Peter makes his bold pronouncement concerning Jesus’s identity, the Lord then presents the costs of obedience to him. “You must,” the Lord says, “take up your cross and follow me.” This week let’s recall the cost of our discipleship.

#90. August 23 - Rev. Shane Page Aug 23, 2020

Show notes

We continue to follow the schedule of appointed readings for each Sunday during the current closures. This Sunday we come to a climactic moment in Matthew’s gospel: Peter’s great declaration that Jesus is indeed the Messiah (Matthew 16:13-20). Every generation must confront the same question Jesus poses in this lesson: Who do you say that I am? This Sunday let’s reexamine ourselves in light of this most pressing inquiry posed by our Lord.
