Ascension Sunday: The Resurrection and God’s Nearness

We often feel God is far from us.

May 12, 2024 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • Psalm 47, Acts 1:3–9

Discovering a Holy, Generous God

July 21, 2024 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • 2 Samuel 5:1–4, 2 Samuel 6

Mediums and the Spiritual Realm: Navigating Our Fears

July 14, 2024 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • 1 Samuel 28:1—29:4

Saul’s interaction with a medium and the dead is one of the most interesting interactions in Hebrew scripture. His motivations are very human: feeling alone, desperate, and afraid. And yet, did he not experience peace from the dead? Instead, he left the experience feeling more dread, more fear, and more chaos in his inner-life. How are we to relate to the dead and the spiritual realm in seasons of fear and loneliness?
