In this Sunday's Gospel reading (Matthew 4:12-23), we hear Jesus call his to disciples to follow him. Pastor Rob shares the What, the Why, the How, and When and the Who of Jesus's call for us at St. Paul. Preview: Its about a great big net!

Januaritis
Do you ever get a case of "Januaritis" -- where you feel busy but don't feel like you are moving forward? Like you are moving but not making a difference? The cure of Januaritis is found in the waters of Baptism!

Christmas Eve (Pondering with Mary)
"Mary pondered these things in her heart." We come to Christmas Eve with much to ponder. What will we ponder this year? Pastor Rob invites you to ponder your life in light of the Christmas story.
Advent III (Joy)
This morning's Scripture readings present us with two entirely different images: a confident and joyous Mary; a doubting and imprisoned John the Baptist. The life of a Christian includes both doubt and joy. Indeed, as we grow older, often our doubts increase as does our hunger for joy. Is there a way for our Advent to be filled with joy?

Advent II: Hope
This Sunday we hear the cry of John the Baptist, calling us to repent. I wrestle with repentance and hope in this sermon. (Note I begin the service wearing a purple stole and end wearing a blue stole)
Advent I: Focusing on Christ
December. Christmas. The busiest time of year! It can be such an exhausting time of year. How do we fill our hearts with the love, joy and peace of Christ and not just all the "stuff" of Christmas? Advent, Advent Wreaths and Prayer.
Christ the King: Unlike any other
On this Sunday our church celebrated Christ the King Sunday. Before we focus on Jesus as a baby in Advent and Christmas, we remember him as the Triumphant King who rules for all time, having defeated death and sin. Today we focus on how Christ is a King unlike any other king or queen who has ever ruled on earth.
