The Pulpiteer

This week’s sermon is from the Sixth Sunday of Easter and comes from Acts 10:44-48. It is the account of the Holy Spirit falling upon the Gentile believers and the astonishment of the Jewish believers.  What is astonishing here?  What is the meaning of Jesus being Lord of all in Acts 10:36?  How are we to apply what we see happening in Acts 10:44-48 in our community?

This week’s sermon is from the third Sunday of Easter and comes from Acts 3. Peter miraculously heals a beggar and a crowd gathers.  Peter uses this opportunity to proclaim the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This week’s sermon is from the second Sunday of Easter and comes from 1 John 1:1-2:2. I focus especially on 1:1-3 and the experiential descriptors that John uses in talking about what they are proclaiming.  It is seen, heard, touched, etc.  One trap that the Resurrection Revolution points that we are doing may lead to is the idea that we are changing things or that we need to impress God.  1 John makes clear that Christ was made manifest to them, is available to forgive them, and their job is then to go into the world declaring that.  Our revolutionary actions then are living out this declaration.

Happy Easter! This week’s sermon is from Easter Sunday and comes from the Gospel of Mark’s account of the Resurrection found in Mark 16:1-8. The resurrection is a world and history changing event. It shows us that we don’t have to simply accept sin and death, but rather see them as defeated enemies. Therefore, we ought to live our lives in light of the resurrection victory that Jesus has won for us. At the end of this message I talk about a project that we are doing this Easter season that we hope will help us live into it.

This is the last of the Lenten Sermon Series titled, “The Seeker,” and it is the sermon for Palm Sunday. For the past several years, I have written the Palm Sunday sermon out as more of a devotional in order to turn our attention towards contemplating the cross. This sermon comes from Mark 14:32-42 and is a reflection upon Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.
