Sermons

Rev. Dr. John Kaiser begins his sermon with an icebreaker about Jesus sharing in everyday human experiences, then introduces the church’s new series, Along the Way, rooted in Micah 6:8. He explains the significance of “ordinary time” in the church calendar, symbolized by the color green, representing growth, new life, and discipleship. Using humor and a reference to Kermit the Frog’s “It’s Not Easy Being Green,” he connects the idea of ordinary life with Christian faithfulness. The heart of the message focuses on the incarnation—Jesus being both fully divine and fully human—what the early church called the hypostatic union. Dr. Kaiser stresses that Jesus’s incarnation is essential for salvation, as only one who is both God and man could atone for sin. He highlights Jesus’s growth in wisdom, strength, and spirit as a model for holistic human development—physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. From Hebrews 2, he reminds listeners that Jesus endured every temptation yet without sin, broke the power of death, and now intercedes for believers as the eternal High Priest. The sermon concludes with hope in Christ’s return, urging Christians to live faithfully in their ordinary days, confident that God will one day transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
