Welcome to a joyous Christmas Eve celebration! In today's sermon, we explore the profound beauty of the incarnation through a surprising and delightful analogy – the cupcake.
Join Pastor Ollie and Fairbanks Lutheran Church as we unwrap the layers of meaning behind this sweet comparison. Just as a cupcake brings together a harmonious blend of ingredients to create a delectable treat, so too does the incarnation weave together divinity and humanity in the person of Christ.
We delve into the heart of the Advent season on this 4th Sunday. In today's sermon, we explore a profound and transformative idea: "We are always in the season of Advent."
Join Pastor Ollie and Fairbanks Lutheran Church as we reflect on the anticipation, hope, and preparation that define the Advent season. In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, the message is clear: the spirit of Advent is not confined to a few weeks in December but is a perpetual call to embrace faith, patience, and mindfulness.
“Blue Christmas” Services, sometimes called “Longest Night” services, are a new tradition among churches. The goal of the service is to acknowledge that this time of year can be hard for people with grief, which is often ignored when the world is preparing for Christmas with happy songs and bright lights.
The service is often held on the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, which is coincidentally the feast day of St. Thomas the Apostle. Saint Thomas is famous for doubting the resurrection; we take comfort that, although he doubted God’s goodness, the Son of God brought Thomas in close and assuaged his doubts.
In his sermon, Pastor Ollie Bergh shows how Bethlehem and our modern world are often pretty similar. Life goes on, and before we even knew, the light of the world was born.
John the Baptist was a witness to the light--a completely different method of talking about Jesus than we often hear about. Join Pr. Ollie in hearing how we can change the way we talk about Jesus by imitating John the Baptist.
Do you ever feel, even in a small way, that everything is meaninglessness? Join Pastor Ollie for a three part sermon series Hope in the Face of Meaninglessness where we dive into the ways that God creates meaning even in the face of nihilism. Yes, even Christians can be nihilistic!
In Part 3, we look at how Fundamentalism is a fundamentally nihilistic endeavour. Our hope is that Christ keeps speaking to us as the Spirit brings us to the living word, over and over again.
