6/20/21 “Parenthood: A Mix of Emotions” by Pastor Jim Lindus

2021 Sermons,
Parents run a gamut of expressions when raising children, especially during the teen years.
Consider Mary and Joseph when they thought they had ‘lost’ Jesus, who had stayed behind in the Temple to talk with the resident teachers. For three days they searched for him, and when they found him, it was a mix of relief and anger and of ponderance as he reminded them of his purpose.
In this Father’s Day sermon, Pastor Jim explores a hard but necessary truth for parents to understand and accept: our children are only on loan to us.

3/21/21 “It Sucks to Be Human” by Pastor Jim Lindus

2021 Sermons,

Pastor Jim explores the difficulties of being human in this week’s sermon.

Jesus, because He became fully human, Jesus was intimately aware of human suffering– this life’s pain, sorrow, disappointments, loneliness and loss, and grief.  Jesus understands our sorrow. We are not alone.

Everyone you meet is carrying a heavy burden at some point in their lives, some burdens are visible, others are not — which is a good reminder to be kind to all — and to ourselves.
