Pentecost Sunday: The Resurrection and God’s Spirit

You participate in the work of renewal that happens through God’s Spirit.

May 19, 2024 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke

The Day of Pentecost shows us that the ministry of God’s Spirit is to tell others about Jesus, and to bring them to Jesus. And when you walk Jesus’ spiritual path, and you are given God’s Spirit, you are called to participate in the spiritual renewal process that God’s Spirit brings about in the lives of others.

Self-Awareness: Oblivious to Your Impulses

September 29, 2024 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • Proverbs 14

Self-awareness is not simply the process of sitting with yourself. Instead, it’s the process of discovering Jesus’ light within you. For it’s his light and love, because of his resurrection, that moves us from darkness to light; from unhealth to health, from brokenness to wholeness.

Gentleness: Moving Ahead Patiently

September 22, 2024 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • Proverbs 25:6–10, Proverbs 25:15, Proverbs 25:28

Gentleness can be seen as an unimportant value, as it doesn’t sound like a productive value. Yet, it is one of the key values and virtues you need in order to change, and to move forward in life in a positive and healthy way. This sermon will help you consider how gentleness might be expressed in your life for the sake of yourself and those around you.

Make It Better: Fools Hate Knowledge

September 15, 2024 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • Proverbs 1:20–33

Through the lens of the value, “Make it Better,” we discover that wisdom is found through conversations within the context of evaluated experiences. What makes it difficult to have these conversations, and therefore to grow in wisdom, is when we get stuck in our difficult emotions.
