    Rev. Janna Osborne - May 4, 2025 This sermon explores how the risen Christ appears in our lives, often when we least expect it. Drawing parallels between the liberation of Denmark in 1945, Saul's transformation on the road to Damascus, and the disciples' encounter with Jesus by the sea, we examine what it means to have the 'scales fall from our eyes' and recognize Christ's presence. The sermon challenges us to consider what 'blackout curtains' we need to tear down in our own lives so that we might better see, follow, and proclaim Christ - ultimately leading us to feed and care for the vulnerable 'lambs and sheep' in our world today.

    Father Ryan Boetcher - April 27, 2025 (Second Sunday of Easter) Father Ryan's sermon explores different reactions to Jesus' resurrection as depicted in John 20 and Acts 5. He examine how the disciples initially hid behind locked doors in fear, Thomas's honest desire to see embodied proof, and the high priests' fearful suppression of the resurrection message. The sermon highlights Jesus' response of "Peace be with you" and his breathing the Holy Spirit onto the disciples, connecting this to creation in Genesis and new life in Ezekiel 37. He concludes by challenging listeners to consider what it means to live as those who believe "death does not finally exist" and how the resurrection should transform our daily lives beyond fear, power-seeking, and violence.

    Fr Shawn McCain Tirres Easter Sunday - April 20, 2025 In this Easter message, Father Shawn explores how the historic reality of Christ's resurrection transforms our present struggles. Drawing from Luke's gospel and the 10th anniversary of Resurrection South Austin, he invites us to receive a 'living hope' that confronts the darkness of our world. This sermon challenges us to not merely speak of resurrection but to embody it through acts of love, justice and mercy that proclaim Christ's victory over death and point to where history is ultimately heading.

    Fr Shawn McCain Tirres April 18, 2025 - Good Friday Why is a day of crucifixion called "Good" Friday? Father Shawn challenges common misconceptions about the cross, revealing how God's love confronts the powers of evil, sin, and death. Rather than portraying an angry deity demanding punishment, discover how the cross demonstrates God's radical love—a love so good it's terrifying—and what it means for us to take up our own cross today. A powerful reflection on the mystery that has grasped believers for centuries.

    This episode explores the concept of "courageous unity" within the church, examining Paul's letter to the Ephesians and its relevance in today's world. While the church has historically been a source of division, this discussion takes a different approach, seeking to understand and bridge differences rather than amplify them. The conversation delves into the true meaning of divisiveness, often misunderstood in contemporary discourse, and tackles the complex relationship between politics and faith. It addresses the crucial role of reconciliation and forgiveness in fostering genuine unity within church communities. The discussion offers insights on cultivating unity amidst diversity, including the importance of humility, active listening, and seeking understanding. It also explores how embracing constructive conflict can deepen relationships and strengthen community bonds. Learn more at www.rezaustin.com

Shawn, Melissa, and Courtney, explore how the ascension affects the everyday lives of believers. We discuss how Christ's ascension means that he is truly in charge, even though he is not physically present on Earth. We also talk about how the ascension gives Christians a mission to be Christ's witnesses and brings hope that all things will ultimately be redeemed. The conversation touches on the role of the Holy Spirit, the presence of Christ in the sacraments, and the Christian view of reality in light of the ascension.
