Luke 8:26-39 Pastor Chris Tweitmann Have you ever heard the expression, “Out of the frying pan and into the fire?” It means to go from a bad situation into a situation that is even worse. One could argue it is a fitting description of what happens next as we turn to our next passage in the Gospel […]

Luke 8:22-25 Pastor Chris Tweitmann We all receive gifts on various occasions and for different reasons. Some gifts we are given are extended to us for a specific purpose – in anticipation of a time when they will be most needed. A fire extinguisher. An emergency flashlight. A first-aid kit. You get the idea. Now, […]

Luke 8:16-21 Pastor Drew Williams Have you ever been given a gift that you didn’t know what to do with? I asked this question on Facebook this week and got a couple good responses. Cynthia Galli got seven tea kettles for her wedding, even though she and John didn’t drink tea. My friend Jeff got […]

Luke 8:4-15 Pastor Drew Williams When I was a kid, my mom tried to plant a papaya tree in our yard. Have you ever had a papaya? It’s a delicious fruit, similar to a melon, that is orange and sweet. My dad used to have some almost every morning with his breakfast. So my mom […]

Luke 7:36-8:3 Pastor Drew Williams This last week, I was talking to a friend about watches, because mine had recently started to not work as well, and so I was asking him about different types of watches, smart watches, normal watches, because he has way better fashion sense than me. And so I was going […]

Luke 7:18-35 Pastor Drew Williams When I was growing up, we went on a lot of roadtrips, so I have lots of memories in the backseat of a little two-door Toyota, looking out the window at some stretch of highway as my parents tried to navigate with their Rand McNally fold-out paper road atlas. Before […]

Luke 7:11-17 Pastor Chris Tweitmann If you were to ask me, as a pastor, what is the question you most often get asked about God, my answer would be some variation of the question, “Why does God allow suffering in the world?”  It’s a common question because we all experience suffering in this world. It’s an […]

Luke 7:1-10 Pastor Chris Tweitmann We find ourselves increasingly becoming a more and more polarized society – and not just as a world or a nation but even within our families and neighborhoods. The last few years of sheltering in place and social distancing have only intensified our innate tendency to exist in echo chambers that reinforce […]

Luke 6:43-49 Pastor Christ Tweitmann We’ve probably all heard the old saying, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” This adage is stating what is often an observable fact, that a child usually mirrors the qualities and traits of their parent. In some cases, those traits are passed down genetically. For example, my son […]

Luke 24:36-49 Pastor Chris Tweitmann Happy Easter – finally! Easter Sunday this year is uncommonly late, falling on this date, April 17, for the first time in 62 years – since 1960. If perhaps we don’t know why the date of Easter keeps moving year to year, centuries ago at what was known as the […]
