Sermons and teaching from the mind of Pastor Jordan Rimmer

  • Maundy Thursday: What is up with the Cup?

    23/04/2014 Duración: 15min

    This is my sermon from Maundy Thursday.  It does not switch to audio well since I actually invited people forward and flowed right into communion.  Still, I thought it might be helpful and interesting for podcast followers. I explore the idea of the cup that Jesus wants the Father to take from Him and compare it to the cup that Jesus offers His disciples. 

  • THE HOLY WEEK OF JESUS

    14/04/2014 Duración: 28min

    In this sermon I tell the story of the Holy Week of Jesus from Palm Sunday to the grave.  It is pretty graphic at the crucifixion, but I wanted to spell the week out as it really happened.

  • Love Like a Crop Duster

    14/04/2014 Duración: 10min

    This is a sermon I did for a community Lenten luncheon on how we love because Christ first loved us.

  • THE HEALINGS OF JESUS

    07/04/2014 Duración: 19min

    When we are hurt or in pain, we can feel desperate and alone.  Jarius feels this, as does the nameless woman that touches Jesus clothes to be healed.  By peering into their sandwiched stories, we can consider what it means for Jesus to heal us, and, perhaps, why Jesus sometimes chooses not to.

  • THE PARABLES OF JESUS

    30/03/2014 Duración: 24min

    Here I look at how Jesus taught with parables by looking specifically at the parable of the talents in Matthew 25.  When you understand the value of a talent, you begin to look at this parable differently.  When that happens, you also begin to look at God and look at yourself differently.

  • THE TEACHING OF JESUS

    17/03/2014 Duración: 23min

                  Sermon on the teachings of Jesus.  I explore what it means that Jesus was a Rabbi.  At the same time, it is important to understand that Jesus did not follow all the expectations of Rabbis in his day.  I look at parts of Matthew 7 to explore how Jesus' teachings explain life and ultimately say something about who Jesus is. In a side note: There are two times when I use visuals in the sermon.  At one point I put a log in my eye.  At another point I throw beads representing pearls at a stuffed kangaroo (we could not find a pig!).  These are not clear on the recording because they were meant to help the people in the pews.

  • THE MIRACLES OF JESUS

    12/03/2014 Duración: 22min

    This is a look at the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine.  This is a miracle with a lot of layers and a lot of imagery.  

  • THE CHILDHOOD OF JESUS

    02/03/2014 Duración: 22min

    This sermon is on the childhood.  The only story we have from Jesus' childhood is his visit to the temple at the age of 12.  It does not have a lot of interest in what Jesus was like, but then what is this story about?

  • JESUS: A THEOGRAPHY

    24/02/2014 Duración: 22min

    This sermon is a big picture look at the life of Jesus.  I start with Jesus as part of the Godhead and go all the way through the end of all time.  I borrow the title from a book by Leonard Sweet.  

  • PURVES LECTURE ON J. MCLEOD CAMPBELL

    22/02/2014 Duración: 01h34min

           On Friday February 21 I sat down with Dr. Andrew Purves to get help for a Torrance ready group I am a part of.  He shared much of a chapter from his upcoming book on Scottish theologians.  It is very deep theological content and is really intended for the people in that group.  If you normally listen to my sermons this will probably not be real helpful to you.

  • THE FUTURE OF THE CHURCH

    17/02/2014 Duración: 31min

    This sermon wraps up a series I am doing about the current changes in our culture and the future of our church.  I give a little historical perspective and then give 8 shifts that I see coming in the future of the church.  I gave my congregation a handout with blanks so that is why I say some phrases awkwardly slow and repetitive on the recording.

  • THE STORM OF POST-ENLIGHTENMENT

    13/02/2014 Duración: 24min

    In this sermon I take a look at how people's thinking and life paradigms are changing as our culture reject modern or enlightenment thinking.  I showed the two commercials that I have posted below and also poll the audience on some questions so for listening online you just have to stick with me.

  • THE STORM OF POST-MODERISM

    03/02/2014 Duración: 25min

    In this sermon I look at the Storm of Post Modernism.  In it, I refer to a commercial that I showed earlier in the worship service.  It can be viewed HERE:

  • THE STORM OF POST-CHRISTENDOM

    26/01/2014 Duración: 27min

    This sermon I continue my look at what is going on in our culture and what it means for the church.  I talk here about living in a post-Christendom culture.  For many in established churches, this is scary stuff.  But I think the church has great opportunities ahead of it.   I am thankful to Leonard Sweet and his book "The Church of the Perfect Storm" for the general themes of this series. I want to also say that I had a picture of Jesus as a prop today.  That is important when you listen because there is a point where I reference the symbol on our Christ comment and, as people strain to see it, I made a joke about seeing it later if Jesus is in the way.  It was a reference to this picture.  

  • THE CHURCH OF THE PERFECT STORM

    19/01/2014 Duración: 27min

    This is the start of a series on what is going on in our culture today and how the church will need to change in the future.  Its title comes from a book of essays by Leonard Sweet.  I describe the storms differently than he does.  I talk about Post-Christendom, Post-Modern, and Post- Enlightenment.  This sermon is the introduction.  I will be looking at each storms in more detail each of the next three Sundays, and then will do a final sermon on my thoughts on the future of the church.

  • AN INTERVIEW WITH DR ANDREW PURVES

    17/01/2014 Duración: 47min

    This is is not a sermon, but is an interview that I did with Dr. Andrew Purves about his teacher TF Torrance.  I and a number of other pastors are reading some of Torrance's work throughout this year.  I did this interview for those who are reading. This is a very theological discussion so you might find yourself swimming in deep water if you are a regular sermon listener. Sorry also about how quiet it is.  I recorded it in Dr. Purves' living room on my phone and it is clear but quiet.

  • FROM THE MOUTH OF AN ASS

    06/01/2014 Duración: 24min

    This sermon is on the story of Balaam.  I am a bit playful with the story, but also really work to get at what the story is all about.  What does it mean for us as Christians to have God's words in our mouths?  How might this story challenge us for this new year?

  • Christmas Eve 2013

    25/12/2013 Duración: 14min

    Here is my Christmas Eve sermon.  Why did Jesus come?  Why a manger and swaddling clothes? 

  • The Genealogy of Jesus

    16/12/2013 Duración: 30min

    This sermon is an exploration of the Genealogies of Jesus.  For the most part, we ignore these passages because they are just a bunch of names to us--and different names in Matthew and Luke.  But they same some important things about Jesus...and about us.

  • Taking Back Christmas

    10/12/2013 Duración: 23min

    This sermon is about Isaiah 59 and our need to acknowledge our need for the Christmas message.  Part of an Advent spirituality and part of taking back Christmas from our culture may be a personal journey like Scrooge had to go through.
