Pastor Ryan’s sermon “The Girl Who Lived” looks at hope and the faithfulness of God in the stories of Jesus healing the woman who was bleeding when she touched his robe, and bringing Jairus’s daughter back to life. As Lamentations 3:31-32 (NLT) tells us,
31 … no one is abandoned by the Lord forever. 32 Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion because of the greatness of his unfailing love.
Pastor Ryan’s sermon “What if Ascension Never Happened?” imagines what the Christian church would look like if Jesus decided to stay on Earth after his ascension rather than returning to his Father in heaven. Why was his leaving actually a good thing, and what did it accomplish for us?
Pastor Ryan’s sermon “Before the Throne” invites us to imagine what it will be like to come before the Throne of God, based on the imagery in the books of Isaiah and Revelation.
Pastor Ryan’s sermon “Burning Passion” talks about how the risen Jesus’ explanations about the scriptures burned in the hearts of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. Do our hearts burn within us when we read scripture? What can we do to (re-)ignite the flame?
Pastor Ryan’s sermon “Who Will Move the Stone?” talks about the stone that blocked the women’s access to the tomb on Easter morning when they went to prepare Jesus’ body for burial, not knowing yet that he had risen. What is the stone in our own lives that keeps us from following Jesus, and how will it be moved aside?
Pastor Ryan’s sermon “The Lord Needs It” talks about the donkey that Jesus rode when he entered Jerusalem the week before the Passover. In particular, it talks about what the Lord needed from the owner of the donkey, and now, from us.
Pastor Ryan’s sermon “Wherever You’re At” talks about times where people can say “Thank you!” to God for his grace. In times when we’re far away from faith or when we’re “stuck” in our faith journey even though we are still committed to Christ, God will brings us back if we cry out to him.
