by trinityfremont
What is faith? It’s more than just information. It’s life. It can be easy to go to Church on Sunday to check the box and then move on with the rest of your life. But Jesus calls us to live out our faith in all that we do. So, how do you take what you hear on Sunday and live it out in your family and in your community? Through reflection and practice. At PewTalk Podcast, we reflect on the past weekend’s sermon at Trinity Fremont and give practical starting points to live out your faith in your family and in your community.

Witness. Joyfully We... October 11, 2026. Pastor Greg Rathke. Sermon Audio
We simply can’t keep the good news of Jesus to ourselves. Jonah tried but was sent straight into a fish’s belly for three days. Peter in his first letter gives a gentle, relational posture for witness; be prepared to give a reason for the hope inside of you. With gentleness and respect. What does...

Generosity. Joyfully We...October 4, 2026. Pastor Anthony Gerber. Sermon Audio
God gives us far more than money. Our abilities, opportunities, relationships, time, resources, and even our ability to work are gifts He places into our care. Scripture invites us to see those gifts not simply as possessions, but as something entrusted to us for a purpose. David prayed, “All...

Compassion. Joyfully we.. Sunday September 27, 2026, Pastor Greg Rathke. Sermon Audio
Jesus couldn’t help himself. Yes, Jesus did many signs and miracles to slowly reveal that indeed He was the Son of God, but it was often for another reason, Jesus had compassion. He had compassion on a grieving widow whose son had died bringing him back to life with his words. He had compassion…

Joyful Grace. Joyfully We...September 20, 2026, Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
How can I possibly forgive someone who has hurt me deeply? We know God calls us to forgive, but some hurts feel too great to let go. In this message, Pastor Gerber explores Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant and the enormous debt the master forgives. We often compare our sins with others…

Identity. September 13th, 2026. Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
We often answer that question with our roles. Parent. Student. Worker. Coach. Pastor. But those are vocations, places where God gives us to live as His children. They were never meant to become our identity. In this message, Pastor Gerber looks at Mary Magdalene outside the empty tomb and the...

Joyfully, We Reflect the Light of Jesus, Joyfully We Learn. Love. Lead. September 06, 2026, Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
Joyfully We Reflect What does it mean to reflect the light of Jesus? Like the moon reflecting the sun, we don’t create the light. We receive it. Jesus says, “I am the vine; you are the branches” (John 15:5). As we remain in Him, He gives us life, bears fruit through us, and makes His light…

Joyfully We Lead, Joyfully We Learn, Love, Lead, August 30, 2026, Pastor Greg Rathke, Sermon Audio
What does leading look like as a follower of Christ? Doing, Giving and Telling is how we can lead in our walk with Jesus. Doing, our actions, are a way to lead as Christians. People pay attention to whether what we are doing matches with we say we believe, who/what we stand for. Giving is another...

Joyfully We Love. Joyfully We Learn, Love, Lead to Reflect the Light of Jesus. August 23, 2026. Pastor Greg Rathke. Sermon Audio
Love can be used in so many ways when referring to parts of speech. Of course it can be a thing, a noun, likely its most common use. Love is from God. It can be an adjective. Throw an -ing on the end and there are MANY ways love can be used. An adjective: A loving God sent His Son. An adverb: God...

Joyfully We Learn, Joyfully We Learn, Love, Lead to Refelect the Light of Jesus, August 16, 2026, Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
What does it mean to joyfully learn from Jesus? In the story of Mary and Martha, Mary chooses the good portion by sitting at Jesus’ feet and receiving from Him. Jesus Himself is the gift. As His disciples and apprentices, we continue to hear His voice through His Word, where He teaches, corrects,...

Our Rock. Summer on the Mount. August 9, 2026. Pastor Greg Rathke, Sermon Audio
When Jesus tells his disciples and us today to “do his words” it doesn’t mean there won’t be storms in our lives as all of us absolutely know. Sometimes it’s storm after storm. Where is the calm? The calm is in our hearts and minds through one thing - faith in Christ Jesus. He is THE Rock, not…

Worries for Tomorrow. Summer on the Mount. August 2nd, 2026. Pastor Anthony Gerber. Sermon Audio
Jesus tells us not to worry about tomorrow. That doesn’t mean we stop planning or doing the work in front of us. It means we stop asking our money, plans, abilities, and anxiety to guarantee the future. Instead, Jesus points us to the birds and the lilies. They receive what the Father gives and…

That's Everything, Summer on the Mount July 26, 2026, Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
Jesus warns against practicing righteousness in order to be seen by others. Whether we are giving, praying, or fasting, the praise of the world can feel like a reward. But it is an incredibly small one. It doesn’t last, it can’t save us, and it can’t hold us together when life falls apart. Again...

Guest, "Missionary Gary" Theis. July 19th 2026. Gary Theis. Sermon Audio.

To Do Lists. Summer on the Mount. Sunday, July 22nd, Pastor Greg Rathke, Sermon Audio
Changed hearts. This is what Jesus is after in this part of His Sermon on the Mount. It is not about check lists. They will ALWAYS be imperfect. Even when we have a TO DO list, and start crossing things off on it, you can still see through the scribbles and be reminded of not being able to be...
-
Light of the World. Summer on the Mount. July 5, 2026. Pastor Greg Rathke. Sermon Audio
Last week we heard that we are empty vessels filled with Jesus. This weekend we ask: What does a life look like when that vessel is full, oozing out? In the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus declares, “You are the light of the world” and commands us, “Let your light shine before others,...
-
Empty Jars, Overflowing Treasure. Summer on the Mount. June 28, 2026. Pastor Anthony Gerber. Sermon Audio
This week, Jesus continues the Beatitudes and shows us what happens when He gives His kingdom to empty-handed people. He fills His people with His Spirit, and what He gives begins to come out in mercy, purity, and peace. These gifts are not a reward we earn or a possession we keep for ourselves....
-
Be Comforted. Summer on the Mount. June 21st, 2026. Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
This week, Jesus says, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” In a world broken by sin and death, mourning is real. But Jesus does not leave His people with grief as the final word. He enters our brokenness, dies and rises, and promises the day when death will be swallowed up...
-
To Be Blessed. Summer on the Mount. Sunday, June 14, 2026. Pastor Greg Rathke. Sermon Audio
On our own, we are not capable of giving anything to God. Our works don’t cut it. Can NOT cut it. God blesses us with gifts that don’t involve doing but receiving, receiving his goodness, grace and His promises. Promises to never leave or forsake us. Promises to cover us with the robe of His…

God is Forever. June 07, 2026. Pastor Anthony Gerber. Sermon Audio
This week, we celebrated Vacation Bible School at Trinty. The kids spent the week hearing five big truths: God is our Creator. God knows everything. God is our safe place. God is love. God is forever. Those truths are not just for kids. God created us for life with Him and love for one another.…

Always with Us. Trinity Sunday. May 31, 2026. Pastor Greg Rathke, Sermon Audio
All Jesus is the end of Matthew. It is fitting as Jesus is such a theme for Matthew throughout his gospel. At the end of this gospel Jesus reminds or emphasizes he has ALL authority and it has been given to him by the Father. He instructs his disciples to make disciples of ALL nations, in other...

What a Gift, Pentacost, May 24, 2026, Pastor Greg Rathke, Sermon Audio
What a gift. A gift that is meant to be shared. The Living Waters that Jesus refers to sharing with others in John 7 is the Holy Spirit that has been placed inside of us at our baptisms. Again, what a gift, but a gift not to keep to ourselves. In verse 38 Jesus says, “Whoever believes in me, as…

The Table Doesn't Belong to Us. Living Hope. May 17, 2026. Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
In this final week of our Living Hope series, Peter calls God’s people to keep loving one another, show hospitality without grumbling, and use the gifts we have received as good stewards of God’s varied grace. This is not one more burden to carry. It begins with what Jesus has already done for…

What Fills Your Vision? Living Hope, May, 10, 2026. Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
In this week’s Living Hope series, Peter reminds us that Jesus suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God. Our troubles, fears, and frustrations are real, but they do not get the last word. When our eyes are fixed on Jesus, we begin to see our suffering, our...

Baptism, Confirmation, and Beyond. Living Hope, May 3rd, 2026. Pastor Anthony Gerber. Sermon Audio
In this week’s Living Hope series, Peter tells us to “long for the pure spiritual milk” so that by it we may grow up into salvation. This is not a message about becoming more saved or graduating from God’s gifts. In Baptism, God gives life by His Spirit. Through His Word and Supper, He continues…

Die, Endure, Live, Living Hope, April 26, 2026, Pastor Greg Rathke, Sermon Audio
Dying to sin and living to righteousness is not without its challenges. It isn’t and won’t be easy. Living in the world is one thing. Living of the world is quite another. Christians are not to appear as normal. The Living Hope message Peter brings to these new Christians also comes with a price...

Be Holy: What Does This Mean. Living Hope. April 19, 2026. Pastor Anthony Gerber. Sermon Audio
In this week’s Living Hope series, Peter calls us to “be holy,” but what does this mean? For some, those words sound like a crushing burden. For others, they sound like a reminder of how stuck they are. For others, they sound like a word for somebody else. But because Jesus is risen, we hear…

Living Hope. Sermon Series. Sunday, April 12, 2026. Pastor Greg Ratke, Sermon Audio.
Peter’s letter to new Christian churches and new believers is straightforward but wonderfully powerful and most of all, his letter is full of hope, a living hope. This hope includes an inheritance. In other words, we just receive it, regardless of what we have done or not done to deserve it. It…

Christ is Risen! And That Changes Everything. April 5, 2026. Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
This Easter, we hear the good news that the tomb is empty and Christ is Risen. He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!! But Easter is not only about what happened to Jesus back then. It's about what His resurrection means for you now, for your future, and for the good news you now have to share. Because...

Buried and Bursting. March 29, 2026. Pastor Greg Rathke. Sermon Audio
Jesus has made his triumphant return to Jerusalem. Now what? Well, he begins teaching again, except this time, he has quite an audience. Jerusalem is filled with visitors for the upcoming Passover Feast. It’s an annual celebration. But since Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, things have ramped...

Our Good Guide, To the Cross, March 15, 2026, Pastor Greg Rathke, Sermon Audio
Jesus is not only a good guide, he is the GREATEST Guide. He guides us from the darkness of sin into light. He guides us through His Word. He guides us because He loves us, a love that led Him all the way to the cross where He suffered, bled and died for us. But our guide is alive. He is not…

Is the Lord among us or not?, To the Cross, Sunday March 8, 2026, Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
This week, we hear Israel grumble in the wilderness and ask the deeper question hiding underneath their thirst: “Is the Lord among us or not?” In Exodus 17, God answers not simply by changing their circumstances, but by standing on the rock and giving life to His people. We’ll see how that…

Turning to Grace, To the Cross, March 01, 2026, Pastor Greg Rathke, Sermon Audio
After around 2,000 years, after the Fall in the Garden of Eden, there is a turn of grace by God by His calling of Abram. God’s grace is not only given TO Abram it is given THROUGH Abram. Through Abram and his offspring, ALL nations/people will be blessed. And they were and we are. But we tend to...
-
It Stops at the Cross. To the Cross. February 22, 2026. Pastor Greg Rathke. Sermon Audio
What do we do with the guilt of sin? Many times we don’t own it. We tend to “pass the buck.” We tend to rationalize “it’s not MY fault.” It’s human nature. It’s exactly what Adam and Eve did in the garden that fateful day when they gave into temptation. What do you do when YOU give into…

The Parable of the Wedding Feast, Kingdom Parables, February 15, 2026, Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
In this week’s Kingdom Parables series, Jesus gives us a last day picture of His kingdom through the Parable of the Wedding Feast. This is not a moral lesson about proving we belong. It’s a kingdom story about what the King does for His people. The King not only invites. He provides what is…

Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard, Kingdom Parables, February 8, 2026, Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
In this week’s Kingdom Parables series, Jesus confronts our instinct to keep score and demand what feels fair. In the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard, we see that the kingdom of God is not built on what we earn, but on the goodness of the King. Jesus calls people into His kingdom and…

Parables of Priceless Treasure, Kingdom Parables, February 1, 2026, Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
In this week’s Kingdom Parables series, we hear Jesus’ parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price. These are not moral lessons about proving our devotion. They are Kingdom stories about what the King does for His people. We’ll see how the King, Jesus, gives up everything for...

Extravagant Forgiveness, Kingdom Parables, January 25, 2026, Pastor Greg Rathke, Sermon Audio
In this parable, God’s extravagance is shown: His extravagant love, His extravagant forgiveness and His extravagant mercy. God is the master who forgives the extravagant debt owed him by his servant. But the servant’s selfish, sinful nature is shown when he doesn’t forgive or have mercy on a…

Small and Ordinary, Kingdom Parables, January 18 2026, Sermon Audio, Pastor Anthony Gerber
This weekend in worship we continue our parable series with Jesus’ short, surprising pictures of the Kingdom of God. The mustard seed and the leaven look small and ordinary. Yet Jesus shows that His reign grows in ways we can’t always see and in ways that become unmistakable over time. The…

Wheat and Weeds, Kingdom Parables, January 11, 2026, Sermon Audio, Pastor Greg Rathke
In this parable about the weeds and the wheat, the good seed being planted and the bad seed seed being planted, something happens that we all experience. Good seeds grow up together with the bad seeds. Good seeds mature with the bad seeds. And it is hard to tell them apart. But it isn’t our job…
more -
Kingdom Parables, January 4, 2026, Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
In Week 1 of our parables series, Jesus opens the Kingdom of God to us through the Parable of the Sower. Parables are not moral lessons about how to be better people. They are stories Jesus tells to reveal what He is like as King and what His Kingdom is like. Here, we see His extravagant…

The Otherside of Christmas, December 28, 10:30, Sermon Podcast Audio Greg Rathke
The other side of Christmas. Reality hits doesn’t it? The brokenness of the world that has been cursed because of sin hits doesn't it? The other side of Christmas for Joseph, Mary and toddler Jesus hit too didn’t it? Enraged King Herod desires only one thing. Death to the new born king. Instead…

Waiting for Full Immanuel, Between Two Worlds, December 21st, 2025, Sermon Audio, Pastor Anthony Gerber
As we approach Christmas, we slow down and listen again to familiar Scriptures, discovering a promise we may have overlooked. In Revelation 21, Isaiah 65, and Matthew 1, God reveals that His greatest promise is not simply the removal of sorrow, pain, and death, but the removal of separation…

Abiding While We Wait, Between Two Worlds, December 7, 2025, Pastor Anthony Gerber, Sermon Audio
This week in our Advent series Between Two Advents, we turn to Isaiah 11 and the sharp words of John the Baptist. Scripture shows us a world cut down like a stump and a people tempted to trust in false security. But Jesus calls us back to Himself, the true Branch who gives life. As we stay...

Equipped While We Wait, Between Two Worlds, November 30, 2025, Sermon Audio, Pastor Anthony Gerber
This week we begin our Advent series, Between Two Worlds, by stepping into Paul’s words from 1 Corinthians 1:1–9. Advent is a season of waiting for Jesus’ arrival. We look back to His birth in Bethlehem and look ahead to His final return. But Paul reminds us we don’t wait empty-handed. God has...

Gratitude in Restoration, Gratitude Challenge, November 23, 2025, Sermon Audio, Pastor Greg Rathke
Have you ever been desperate? Desperate not from someone else’s doing, but because of your own. This is Samson in Judges Chapter 16. His unnatural strength from God led to a life of getting what he wanted, when he wanted it. Ultimately, Samson’s wanting of women that were not his wife led to his...
-
Gratitude in Hardship, The Gratitude Challenge, November 16, 2025, Sermon Audio, Pastor Anthony Gerber
This week we see how gratitude isn’t just for the good days. In Philippians 1, Paul writes with joy and thanksgiving, not from comfort, but from prison. He shows us that joy isn’t about how life is going for us, but about how the Gospel keeps moving forward through us. We see that when we look...

The Gratitude Challenge, November 9, 2025, Sermon Audio, Pastor Anthony Gerber
This week we kick off our new series, The Gratitude Challenge, by taking a closer look at something we usually overlook, our breath. In Genesis, God breathes life into dust. In Ezekiel’s vision, His breath turns dry bones into living people. And in John 20, Jesus breathes His Spirit into His...
