The Great Commission was first entrusted not to fearless saints, but to disciples whose faith sometimes trembled. In this Trinity Sunday sermon, we consider how the risen Jesus sends his worshiping yet wavering people into the world with his authority, his presence, and an invitation into the life of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Drawing on personal story and sacramental theology, we discover how God meets us with forgiveness, peace, and love at His altar and table. The sermon invites us to ask God to awaken that same longing in us and to come expectantly to receive the blessing of His presence. The Second Sunday of Christmas Sermon text: Psalm 84

John the Baptist, imprisoned and confused, sends Jesus a haunting question: Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another? Jesus responds not with rebuke but with grace, pointing to his words and works—the healing of the broken and the preaching of good news—as the true signs of God’s kingdom. In our own seasons of doubt and confinement, this same good news meets us with hope, reminding us that Christ is present, faithful, and still on his throne. Sermon text: Matthew 11:2-15
