Waiting For The Birth Of Jesus - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka Village Pres Sermons podcast

19:26

The Holy Spirit is one of the three persons of the Trinity along with God our father and mother and Jesus, the son. Scripture tells us that the Holy Spirit was present at creation, descended upon Jesus at his baptism, called the church into being at Pentecost and is present among us now. Yet many of us find it challenging to understand who the Holy Spirit is and how the Spirit relates to our lives. Leonardo Boff, a Brazilian liberation theologian, called the Holy Spirit the “liberator” who frees us from the oppressions of sin and gifts us freedom. In this sermon series leading up to Pentecost, we will explore four ways the Holy Spirit liberates and frees us. Today's scripture reading is Romans 8:26-28.

Over the Lenten season, we spent several weeks “walking with Jesus.” It's time for a well-deserved rest, so let's take some time to sit with Jesus. Where and how can we sit with Jesus these days? In the process, we might learn a bit about who we are called to be. Today's scripture reading is John 21:1-17.

Easter Sunday: Seeing Jesus - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka 22:04

22:04

Theologians describe Jesus’ ministry as “peripatetic” because he moved from place to place. He did not settle in Nazareth and told everyone to come to him. He walked around, visited, talked, and ate with people. In the five Sundays leading up to Palm Sunday, we will travel with Jesus from his temptation in the wilderness to meeting fishermen on the beach to eating with a tax collector in Jericho. Along the way, we will grow in our faith and faithfulness just as the disciples did as they walked with Jesus. Our scripture today is Luke 24:13-35.

Transfigured - Rev. Chad Herring 25:14

Our lives are a collection of mountain-top experiences and moments in valleys. At the midpoint of his public ministry, Jesus has a literal mountain-top experience. When his disciples suggest that they stay on the mountain, Jesus leads them back down because they cannot stay there. This is an important learning for us, too. As wonderful as these experiences are, we cannot stay there. We must travel back down to the valley. Our scripture reading is Luke 9:28-36.

21:53

In the early years of the church, Christians struggled with what to believe. Several controversies arose over whether Jesus Christ was truly the son of God and what his death and resurrection meant. Around 180 C.E., Christians developed an early form of the Apostles’ Creed to refute some of these controversies and to clearly state what we believe. When people sought to join the church, they recited this creed as their statement of faith at their baptism. While the creed is one of the earliest expressions of Christianity, it still holds great meaning and power for our lives today. Today's scripture reading is Colossians 1:15-20: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created."

Growing in Wisdom and Years: Jesus the Adolescent - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka 21:44

In the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, we have many stories about the public ministry of Jesus. We know of his teaching and preaching and miracles. We know of his last supper, washing his disciples’ feet, and his arrest, torture and crucifixion. We know of his resurrection from the dead and his encounters with his disciples and his ascension. But we know precious little about his life as a child and young person. In these Sundays following Christmas, Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka will explore three stories about Jesus the baby, the boy, and the adolescent. Today, we learn about Jesus the adolescent from Luke 2:41-52: "Now every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the festival of the Passover. And when he was 12 years old, they went up as usual for the festival."

Advent comes from the Latin “adventus” which means “coming” or “arrival.” In Advent, we wait for the birth of the Christ child.
