In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus responds to a religious expert's question, “Who is my neighbor?” with a story of radical compassion along the perilous Jerusalem-to-Jericho road. A Samaritan's selfless care for a beaten stranger contrasts sharply with the indifference of religious passersby. This parable challenges us to move beyond convenience and fear, urging us to embrace a love beyond what's expected by serving a neighbor in need with Christ-like compassion. That kind of love will leave a lasting impact. Vicar Behm's sermon preached at Faith on July 13, 2025.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

In Jesus' parable of the two debtors, a Pharisee's skepticism and a sinful woman's devotion reveal the transformative power of grace. This narrative challenges us to confront the immeasurable debt of our own sins, recognize the boundless forgiveness offered by Christ, and reflect on how this gift inspires a life of heartfelt love and service to others.

In a world that fractures our focus with endless demands, how can we live with single-minded devotion to Christ without hesitation? It's a daunting call, requiring strength beyond our own. Only through Christ's unwavering, unhesitant commitment to our salvation can we live fully committed to Him.

Psalm 127 teaches that lasting purpose in personal and family life comes from trusting God's love and promises, not human efforts that are like sandcastles swept away. Without God's guidance, endeavors like building a strong home life or striving for personal meaning are futile. By trusting God's promises of forgiveness and eternal purpose, believers can build lives and families on a foundation that endures.Pastor Schroeder's sermon preached at Faith on Community BBQ Sunday, June 22, 2025.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

The Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—invites us to embrace the mystery of the Trinity, not as a puzzle to solve, but as a comforting truth that pours peace into our hearts. In a world craving quick answers, the Father's gift of His Son, Jesus' sacrifice, and the Spirit's presence in our hearts reveal a God too vast for our minds, yet fighting for our salvation and giving us eternal peace.Vicar Behm's sermon preached at Faith on June 15, 2025.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

Human rebellion fractures the world, as vividly illustrated at Babel, where God scattered people by confusing their languages. In the face of that division, the Holy Spirit emerges as a divine force of unity, dramatically showcased at Pentecost when disciples miraculously spoke in different tongues to share the gospel. The Holy Spirit transformed a fearful group into bold witnesses who unite people through the powerful message of Jesus Christ. From the neighbor across the street to the global stage, the Holy Spirit's uniting power calls us to bridge divisions and spread Christ's love across all boundaries. How can we, empowered by the same uniting Spirit, share the gospel today?Pastor Schroeder's Pentecost sermon preached at Faith on June 8, 2025. Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

In a world shrouded in confusion and grief, where fleeting pleasures and endless information fail to satisfy, Jesus' words in John 16:16–24 offer hope. On Holy Thursday, he promises his disciples, amid their looming sorrow, a deep, lasting joy that transcends circumstances. Through his death and resurrection, Christ secures an unshakable joy for all Christians that is firmly rooted in God's love and forgiveness. This is the joy we need.

What is the best gift that you could leave behind for your children? Even more important than passing down a family heirloom, a large inheritance, or the family house, is passing down Jesus' words. In a world that is filled with noise and doubt, we work to teach our children the words of eternal life, the words that have the power to save. And that's why Christin education matters - to have pastors and teachers who are there to train up the next generation in God's Word.Seminarian Mark Burger's sermon preached at Faith on May 18, 2025.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

Jesus, our Good Shepherd, embodies unconditional love and care, meeting our every need, guiding us through life's trials, and restoring our souls with complete forgiveness. He loves us, His sheep, so much that He laid down His life so that we would be safe eternally.

Because He lives, we see success clearly now. Jesus' resurrection pierces through the fog of a sin-clouded world, unveiling a clear understanding of true success. True success isn't about what you achieve but about being where Jesus places you. It's trusting His perfect wisdom, whether you're soothing a crying infant or tackling daily work. Even in moments of failure, Christ's triumph covers you with grace. Ultimately, regardless of your successes or failures, Jesus' victory assures you of eternal success.

How does Jesus approach his fearful disciples on the evening of that first Easter Sunday? Does he scold them? No, he brings a word of comfort. He calms them with the peace that only He can give. That same unending, unchanging peace is also ours because of Jesus' Resurrection. The peace that He gives us both calms our hearts and emboldens us to share the Good News. Just as Jesus calmed and commissioned his disciples, he also calms and commissions us to boldly proclaim this life-changing truth: He is alive!Vicar Behm's sermon preached at Faith on April 27, 2025.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

In this sermon, we explore the timeless Parable of the Two Sons from Luke 15, a story that reveals the relentless, seeking love of our Heavenly Father for all his children. This love is certain whether the children have wandered far in reckless pursuit of freedom or remained close yet lost in self-righteousness. Through the younger son's descent into the pig sty and the older son's resentment in the fields, we uncover how God runs to meet us wherever we are, offering forgiveness, restoration, and a place in His celebration.

Do you view repentance as a gift or a burden? In this sermon, we explore the liberating truth that repentance is another way that God shows us his grace. The unsettling story of Pilate mixing Galilean blood with temple sacrifices sets the stage for Jesus' words in Luke 13, shifting our focus from others' sins to our own need for repentance. Meanwhile, the parable of a barren fig tree, spared by a patient gardener, showcases God's enduring mercy. Together, these narratives unveil repentance as a gift that allows us to rest in Jesus' love.Vicar Behm's sermon preached at Faith on March 23, 2025.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

Citizenship matters. Paul wrote to Christians in Philippi who understood the benefits of being Roman citizens, and he reminded them that Christians are citizens of heaven.

“The battle is the Lord's.” That short statement is both incredibly comforting and shockingly frustrating. We love to hear those words and to be reminded that God is ultimately in control. On the other hand, we want to stand up and fight for ourselves. We want to show off our self-sufficiency. But what if we couldn't fight the battle that needed to be won? Join us for this sermon as we unpack the epic story of David vs. Goliath, showing how David points us to our greater Champion who always fights for us, Jesus.

Picture the disciples, their hearts soaring with dreams of a victorious Savior, only to hear Jesus predict a path of suffering and death—a collision of hope and hard truth that mirrors our own letdowns in life's big moments. This sermon delves into their surreal glimpse of Jesus radiant on a mountain, joined by ancient voices of law and prophecy, as they grapple with a future they didn't expect. It's a meditation on the sting of shattered assumptions—be it in relationships, wellness, or divine plans—and the quiet question of whether something greater might linger beneath the surface.

In this sermon, we reflect on the profound theme of mercy, inspired by Jesus' command to love beyond what feels natural or easy. Rooted in his boundless love and sacrifice, we explore how Christ empowers us to share moments of mercy with others, even in a world prone to conflict. We'll ponder: Strengthened by Jesus' love, what moment of mercy might we offer today? Vicar Behm's sermon preached at Faith on February 23, 2025.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

How do you reconcile faith in God with the presence of so much evil and brokenness in the world?

In a world that craves comfort, success, and easy answers, are we giving people what they want or what they truly need? In this sermon, we dive into Jesus' mission on earth, not just as a miracle worker, but as the Savior who came to rescue a broken world. His agenda wasn't about popularity or earthly success; it was about proclaiming the Gospel. As the Church, that's our mission, too. Join us as we explore how sharing the truth of Jesus, even when it's not what the world wants, is exactly what the world needs.Vicar Behm's sermon preached at Faith on February 2, 2025.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz
