Matt takes a look at the story of Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well, and the transformation that came about because of it.

Rebecca begins our Epiphany series on Close Encounters of the Triune Kind with a look at Anna, the prophet, one of the first to encounter Jesus.

 Matt takes a look at 1 Peter 1:3-9 in this New Year's sermon on hope.

Rebecca preaches the second part of our four part advent series on the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

Matt concludes our series on Reasons for God with a look at the doctrine of the Trinity, and how it makes sense of the reasons we believe.

Pastor Rolf continues the series with this argument for the centrality of grace in our lives. His text is Luke 18: 9-14.

Rebecca preaches on Ephesians 2 and the different ways we talk about Christ's atoning work for us. (Sorry for the poor sound quality.)

Matt preaches on Romans 6 and a common barrier to belief in God, the problem of sin.

Rebecca takes up human morality, and how that leads us to believe in God.

Pastor Rolf kicks off our new series on the reasons we believe in God with this look at the clues of God we find in the natural world.

Pastor Rolf preaches on Jacob's wrestling match with the angel in Genesis 32. Sorry, the sound quality on this one is not great.

Matt makes his Campus Chapel preaching debut with this sermon on Daniel 1.

Rebecca Jordan Heys makes her Campus Chapel podcast debut with her sermon on Mark 5, a story of double healing. Jesus restores to life the daughter of the Synagogue leader, and heals the bleeding woman.

Pastor Rolf preaches on Genesis 28, the story of Jacob's vision of angels ascending and descending on a ladder to heaven.

The story of Noah is often presented an illustration of a God who punishes evildoers.  And, as a matter of fact, it does tell of God's judgment on sin.  But, as Pastor Mark seeks to demonstrate here, it is also the story of a God who loves creation and of the power of re-creation. 

Based on Luke 5:17-26, Pastor Mark discusses the place of forgiveness in healing. 

Pastor Rolf preaches on the story of Bartimaeus healed of his blindness by Jesus.  Based on Mark 10: 46-52.

The other Pentecost story is John 20: 19-23.  Jesus breathes the Holy Spirit onto those who'd locked themselves in a room and invites them to participate in the work of resurrection. 

Looking again at 1 Peter 3: 13-22.  Pastor Mark relies heavily on Shawshank Redemption to make a point about hope.  (He's for it.)

Based on 1 Peter 3:13-22, the sermon claims that, in order to live a life free of "the system," you must "sanctify in your heart Christ as Lord." 

John 14:1-14.  Pastor Rolf offers a deeper and broader interpretation of some well known verses, reminding us that wherever we go we go knowing that Christ goes ahead of us.

Good Shepherd Sunday, based primarily on the reading from 1 Peter 2: 19-25.  As he instructs slaves to endure suffering inflicted on them by their masters, at first glance, Peter sounds like someone interested in preserving an inhumane social order.  That's first glance.

Based on Mark 10:32-45, Pastor Mark discusses the meaning of Christ's crucifixion as "ransom for many."

In chapter 13, Paul writes what are some of the most beautiful lines of all time.  They describe the centrality of love, the character of love, the durability of love and the maturity of love.

Luke 2:41-52 gives us the only picture in the gospels of the years between his infancy and his adulthood.  The picture we get is not altogether flattering.  However it has much to teach us about Jesus and the nature of his mission.

This is the second sermon in an Advent series in which we are discussing the various forms of alienation we experience in our fragmented world.  This sermon is based on Psalm 13, a lament, which addresses our experience of alienation from God.

We continue our investigation of 1 Corinthians.  Here Paul helps us see that Christianity is not about creating dividing lines as much as it is about embarking on a journey-- but, he warns, this journey is full of peril. 

Prophet of doom Jeremiah is also a prophet of hope and in chapter 32 he puts his money where is his message is, buying the family plot in besieged land and modeling what faithfulness looks like on a besieged planet.

In chapter 4, Jeremiah's vision of wasteland resembles scientists' predictions regarding the future of our planet as a result of global warming. Could God allow such predictions become a reality? (The audio on this is a bit spotty as well.)

This is the first installment of a project Devin Kerr and I worked on this summer.  The hope is to create more in hopes that Nooma or some other company would be interested in distributing it as their podcast.  We'd love to hear what you think.

WARNING: The audio quality on this one is a little weak. (We're still working the bugs out on this whole thing.)

Pastor Mark on 1 Corinthians 4, delayed puberty, and the similarities between St. Paul and Eminem.
