Great Green Growing Time

We spend the summer months following along with the church calendar's season of Ordinary Time, remembering that even the most unremarkable days are days in which we experience growth and a deeper experience of God's love.

Message line-up:

6/4

The Value of the Trinity

Pastor Scott Austin

On Trinity Sunday, we reflect on one of the great mysteries of the Christian faith—and we worship a triune God, whose nature inspires our church's foundational values!

Genesis 1:1-2:4a; Psalm 8; 2 Corinthians 13:11-13; Matthew 28:16-20

6/18

Shake Off the Dust

Pastor Scott Austin

Listen

When Jesus sent out his disciples, he told them they were some of the few who could speak truth to power among the religious establishment. But he warned them that their message would not be received kindly by all. And then he gave them the ultimate superpower: to walk away in peace from those who would not listen.

Matthew 9:35–10:23

6/25

Pastor Scott Austin

Got questions about God, the Bible, theology, or life at Artisan? Bring them, ask them, and we’ll talk!

7/9

Laws & Burdens

Pastor Scott Austin

Listen

In a much-quoted passage in the book of Romans, the Apostle Paul berates himself for doing things he does not want to do. Yet in a much-quoted teaching in the book of Matthew, Jesus says that his yoke is easy and his burden is light. How are we to make sense of these competing narratives within Christianity?

Romans 7:15–25a, Matthew 11:16–19, 25–30

Seed, Root, and Fruit

Crossing the Jordan

Rebeka Fergusson-Lutz

Listen

8/6

Hungry in a Deserted Place

Pastor Scott Austin

Listen

The miracle of the loaves and fishes is one of the most well-known stories in the entire Bible. But there are details all around the main event of the story that we may not have considered. We take a look at some of those details, wondering about what God might have for us along the margins.

Matthew 14:13–21

8/13

Little Faith

Pastor Scott Austin

Listen

The story of Jesus and Peter walking on water includes the oft-quoted phrase "You of little faith!" But it is evident from the story that even "little" faith is enough to experience a miracle. What if we celebrated our small moments of faith, rather than feeling belittled and insufficient?

Matthew 14:22–33
