St. Paul in Athens and Ann Arbor ::

(Acts 17, April 27, 2008) This message was preached at the service for the Rite of Confirmation, but it doesn't revolve just around the 16 young people who professed their faith that day. It asks the question whether their purpose, and our calling as a congregation, is to carry on the work that Paul began in Athens long ago. Has God called us to keep learning, growing, and preparing ourselves to bring the Gospel to the intellectual community of Ann Arbor, Michigan? (Pastor Neuendorf)
Built on the Living Rock ::

(1 Peter 2:2-10 - brief delay at the beginning because of technical problems with the PowerPoint display) You are now an "imperishable seed." So Peter says we should rid ourselves of the things that interfere with our ministry. We should crave the word like an infant craves milk. And then we come to Jesus, the living stone. (Pastor Wentzel)
What Gives You Heartburn? ::

(Luke 24:13-35) What does it mean if your "heart burns within you"? We know what it means when our stomach sinks, but what makes your heart burn with hope? The disciples on the road to Emmaus found out - and we can find out too. (Pastor Neuendorf)
Apologies ::

Regretfully, we continue to have trouble digitizing our sermon audio. The CD recorder failed for our Easter sermons, which was a particular frustration. We'll do our best to put sermons up - and to get these technical issues resolved. Pastor N

(Isaiah 50:7) The prophet says that the Messiah will "set his face like flint." What an image! It reminds us of famous leaders, tough men, brave and bold adventurers of the past. But what was Jesus like? In what way did he "set his face?" (Pastor Wentzel)
Preaching to Dead People ::

(Ezekiel 37:4ff) If you were asked to give the commencement address at the next university graduation, that would be a great honor! But what if God told you to go to the cemetery and speak to the graves there? Would you bother to prepare a message? (Pastor Neuendorf)
Live as Children of Light ::
Friday, March 14, 2008 :: Administrator Account:: 0 Comments ::
(Ephesians 5:8-14) Paul doesn't say that we should live *like* light or shine our light. He says that we are children *of* light. Like a glass of water, or a block of steel, we *are* light in Christ. (Pastor Neuendorf)
A Full Soul ::

(Romans 5:5) Overfill your mind and you can't think anymore. Overfill your ears and they ring. But be filled up with the Spirit and... well, guess what that produces. (Pastor Wentzel)
Birth Pains ::
Tuesday, February 19, 2008 :: Administrator Account:: 0 Comments ::
(John 3:1-17) How hard did you work on your birthday - the day you were born? How much of the labor was yours, and how much was your mother's? Jesus tells us that it is much the same with your spiritual birth. You can't take any credit... only the blessing is yours. (Pastor Wentzel)
