This year for Reformation Sunday I looked at the key beliefs of the reformation by looking at the 5 Solas of the Reformation-“Sola Scriptura” (Scripture Alone); “Sola Gratia” (Grace Alone); “Sola Fide” (Faith Alone); “Solus Christus” (Christ Alone); and “Soli Deo Gloria” (To God Alone Be Glory).

The His-Story of Westminster Church
Monday Oct 20, 2014
Monday Oct 20, 2014
This is the sermon from the celebration of Westminster's 50th anniversary in its current location. In it I tell the history of the church since well before we moved to Oak Hill in New Brighton. It is amazing to me how much of this history shapes the spiritual DNA of our church to this day even with members who were not connected personally or in their family with the church until recently. I also at the end of my sermon turn the attention to the future of the church in anticipation of the collection of commitment cards for a capital campaign that began this Sunday.

Rebuilding the Temple

What happens when an idea, movement, or organization get's off of its original vision and purpose? How does it find its way back?
This is the question the prophets ask in the Old Testament as Israel goes into exile. Where did we go wrong? And as Ezekiel dreams of a new temple and Ezra rebuilds the temple, they wonder how to do it differently now. What can our church today learn from this time in history?

Building the Temple

This week I continue building toward our anniversary celebration and capital campaign by looking at the building of the temple by Solomon. Why is it built? Why doesn't David build it? What problems are there once it is built? What does this tell us about being a church today?

Building the Tabernacle

As I build up to a capital campaign in the next few weeks, I am looking at the building of the tabernacle and the temple in the Old Testament. What were their purposes? Why was it important that the people give to help them be built?
For this sermon, I built a replica of the Ark of the Covenant and rearranged furniture in the sanctuary to be more accurate to the set up of the tabernacle. I walk around a lot, so I had to have my phone set on the first pew to record.
