Post-Election Sermon: Relationships in Disagreement
16/11/2016 Duración: 26minThis sermon was given the Sunday after the most divisive election that I have ever seen. I reflect on the words of Paul ot the church at Corinth, and his plan to help them with unity. I talk about the three words that my teacher Len Sweet calls the hardest words to get right in the world today--"I" "Love" "You" The world needs the church to get these words right, but the world does not want the church, and I am worried the church is not ready to be needed.

The Book on the Shelf
03/11/2016 Duración: 26minThis is a sermon for Reformation Sunday and look at the history of the Bible. I talk about how the Bible was written, how it was preserved over time, and how it came to be written in English. I hope that you listen and gain an appreciation for how important the privilege of reading the Bible in your own language was to people that gave their lives to give you that privilege. Pick up the book sometime.

Render Unto Caesar: Seek the Welfare of the City
26/09/2016 Duración: 27minThis sermon is the final of a 4-week series I am doing on faith and politics. My goal is not to tell people what to think or who to vote for, but rather to address some of the underlying spiritual issues at play in our national and global politics. I want to help Christians learn how to think about politics. This sermon explores how Christianity is based on core convictions that we have to prayerfully translate into voting and policy decisions. I drew the diagram that is pictured here. You can read the sermon at: http://www.jordanrimmer.com/seekthewelfareofthecity/

Render Unto Caesar: The Politics of Jesus
19/09/2016 Duración: 24minThis sermon is the third of a 4-week series I am doing on faith and politics. My goal is not to tell people what to think or who to vote for, but rather to address some of the underlying spiritual issues at play in our national and global politics. I want to help Christians learn how to think about politics. This sermon explores the politics of the Bible and how the Bible should inform our politics and how Jesus should be our political example.

Render Unto Caesar: Some Trust in Chariots
12/09/2016 Duración: 24minThis sermon is the second of a 4 week series I am doing on faith and politics. My goal is not to tell people what to think or who to vote for, but rather to address some of the underlying spiritual issues at play in our national and global politics. I want to help Christians learn how to think about politics. This sermon was given on September 11, 2016. It was the 15 year anniversary of 9/11 attacks on the United States. I reflect on the feeling of fear that we have had since that day and the growing violence from guns in our country in the years since. How should Christians think about war and violence?

Render Unto Caesar: Two Kingdoms
06/09/2016 Duración: 25minThis sermon begins a 4 week sermon series I am doing on faith and politics. My goal is not to tell people what to think or who to vote for, but rather to address some of the underlying spiritual issues at play in our national and global politics. I want to help Christians learn how to think about politics. In this sermon, I look at the idea that, in the Bible, we are part of two kingdoms--the kingdom of this world and the kingdom of God (sometimes also called the kingdom of heaven). What does it mean that we live in these two kingdoms? How does the idea of two kingdoms jive with America's idea of the separation of church and state?

Lift Dedication Sermon
31/08/2016 Duración: 09minThis short sermon was recorded during an outdoor service. There is background noise and I am projecting my voice because we did not bring out a sound system. The occasion was the dedication of our vertical platform life (think small elevator). It was a pretty exciting day that we were not sure would ever come. The sermon was followed by the story of the lift, a dedication, a prayer for the lift and those who use it, and the hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness." After the service, we had some fun and ate a great picnic lunch.

Book of the Twelve: Malachi
31/08/2016 Duración: 22minWith this sermon on Malachi we come to the end of the Minor Prophets. It was all summer, but I found them to be an amazing journey. These old books still had new things to say to us today. I guess people don't change that much over time.

Book of the Twelve: Haggai

-
Book of the Twelve: Zephaniah
03/08/2016 Duración: 26minSermon on the book of Zephaniah. This is a book that once again looks at the judgment of the Day of the Lord, but also has an amazing description of God's saving presence that will come to Jerusalem. We know this hope to be Jesus.
-
Book of the Twelve: Habakkuk
28/07/2016 Duración: 21minThis sermon is on the book of Habakkuk. Can you trust God? That is a difficult question. But the harder question is, can you trust God with the timing? You are not really trusting God if you are not trusting God with the timing.

Raise the Roof: An Image of Intercessory Prayer
12/07/2016 Duración: 22minI take a break from my journey through the Minor Prophets to look at the healing of the paralyzed man in Mark 2. I use the story as an image of what intercessory prayer is. I have to thank my teacher Leonard Sweet for challenging me on this text. Also, thanks to my dad who preached this text on the same Sunday and swapped ideas with me.

The Book of the Twelve: Obadiah
23/06/2016 Duración: 21minSermon on the book of Obadiah. This little book of only 21 verses has some strong words of judgment for the neighboring nation of Edom, but it also has some great underlying theology.
