Exodus Part 36: Sabbath Rest

Sermon Text:Exodus 16:22-36In the second part of Exodus 16, YHWH continues the process of de-Egyptification, by issuing a new commandment. On the seventh day the Israelites were commanded not to collect manna. Instead they were to do something completely baffling - rest. What is it about the seventh day and why are the Israelites commanded to rest? We will look at this question and

Exodus Part 35: What Is It?

Sermon Text:Exodus 16:1-21Today we study the second story in the wilderness wandering section of Exodus. This time the Israelites complain of a lack of food. YHWH will provide them with a substance that falls from the sky called manna and also will throw in a side of quail. However, the real lesson of this story is the economy that is created by the manna and what values YHWH is tr

Exodus Part 34: Teaching Trees

Sermon Text:Exodus 15:22-27As the Israelites wander in the wilderness they encounter their first major obstacle - lack of water. When they finally find water the people find that it is undrinkable. The people grumble but YHWH provides by “teaching Moses a tree” Rejecting the traditional interpretation which focuses on the grumbling and lack of faith among the Israelites, we loo

Exodus Part 33: The Song of the Sea

Sermon Text:Exodus 15:1-21Today we look at one of my favorite texts, the Song of the Sea. This is one of the oldest passages in the Bible and also a Hebrew nerds dream. We look at the structure of the song and some Hebrew poetic devices (though not as many as I would like). Along the way we learn more about the identity of YHWH. We also conclude by learning about grammar - specific

Exodus Part 32: The Parting of the Sea of Reeds

Sermon Text:Exodus 14:10-31In the face of the understandable terror of the people of Israel as they find themselves trapped between Pharaoh’s army of charioteers and a large body of water, Moses delivers a message from YHWH. The people are told to fear not, stand firm, and wait for the salvation of the Lord in silence. Its very churchy advice, but what do we actually do with it?

Epiphany Part 2: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About The Magi

Sermon Text:Matthew 2:1-12Today we study the mysterious magi. Who were these people and why does Matthew include this story in his gospel? What would the details of this story meant to his audience? More importantly what possible relevance could a group of Zoroastrian astrologers possibly have for us? Along the way we will touch on a lot of history and also a Resurrection Church fa

Epiphany Part 1: Born of the Holy Spirit

Sermon Text:Matthew 1-18-25After giving us a long genealogy about where Jesus came from, Matthew tells us a completely different and contradictory story about where Jesus comes from. Why does Matthew do this. As we learn in this sermon, Matthew loves to mess with us in order to make a point. Today’s sermon explores the importance of the Holy Spirit in the incarnation and why it i

Advent Week 3: Motherhood & New Things

Sermon Text:Luke 1:39-56Today’s sermon looks at the meeting between Mary and Elizabeth which is one of the most unusual and incredible scenes in all of Scripture. This time our focus will be less on Mary’s song but what happens when Mary and Elizabeth meet. Particularly the attitude of Elizabeth, the wife of a priest toward her cousin Mary. Here we learn that newness can come i

Advent Week 2: Broken Genealogies

Sermon Text: Matthew 1:1-17For our second week in Advent, we look at the introduction to Matthew’s gospel. Matthew gives us a genealogy spanning from Abraham to Jesus. The list of names is long and tedious, and so Matthew helpfully divides the genealogy into three sections of 14 generations. However, the last section only has 13 generations even though Matthew tells us there are
