Faith Church Issaquah

Ascension is one of the five highest holy days in Christianity (along with Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, and Pentecost), but let’s be honest. Ascension is the blacksheep of the holidays—we don’t really know what to do with this one! It almost feels like an anticlimactic ending of Jesus’s earthly ministry, so why should we celebrate it? Even more mysteriously, Jesus tells us it’s a good thing that he goes away! Join us this Sunday as we take a closer look at this neglected event and see what Jesus’s ascension means to us and why it’s such a good thing. He is ascended! He’s ascended indeed!

In one of Jesus's strangest parables, we find a man, faced with losing his job, taking the extraordinary measure to build a community by cutting short his soon-to-be ex-employer's profits. AND the employer praises him for it! Join us as we dive into this parable and really see why God thinks it's so important for us to make community.

Every ancient culture and holy book teaches a counterintuitive reality: those who give gain more. Happiness, prosperity, and fulfillment aren’t the results of greed and hoarding. Instead, those who live with gratitude and generosity find that they have all they need and more. Have you known this to be true? Let’s explore the paradox of generosity together!  

Peter messed up, and everybody knows it. The one with a big mouth and big promises, turned his back on Jesus 3 times when the chips were down. Does he have a place in Jesus’s movement anymore, or should he go back to fishing? On the beach, Jesus meets Peter, and all his failures are dissipated in Jesus’s love, like a drop of vinegar in an ocean of grace.

For reasons we can understand, the disciples were doubting what they were experiencing in the risen Christ! But here’s the thing, the doubters among their ranks were never shunned, left out, or treated as second tier. Doubt was never a disqualifier, and it isn’t today. Doubt, when given its proper space, helps us to be better thinkers. In that way, our faith is even aided by doubt.

Each person has a gift, and each person is important to a community. We can't all have the same gift, and no one can have all the gifts. How can we complement each other in community? How can we work together as the body of Christ?

Instead of putting on a mask of happiness when you come to church, consider bringing your whole self--warts and all.

Sermon given by Pastor Elizabeth on October 10, 2021.

Pastor Elizabeth explores the meaning and mystery of communion.

What We Need Is Here 2

Perhaps we’ve all been approaching this Good News the wrong way. Maybe, in our era of fake news that requires constant vigilance and critique, we’ve been looking at Scripture for historically verifiable facts and coming up short; when all along, the gospel is intended not to present the facts, but to present the person. Coming to the Gospel is encountering the person who is Good News incarnate. Opening the scriptures is an opportunity to meet Jesus himself.

Like everything else, spirituality has become an industry. There are hundreds of companies or individuals who will sell you a gimmick, an oil, a cushion to sit on, a bell to ring, or an app, or a mantra to help you grow spiritually. Many of us have gone in search of that golden ticket that will instantly transport us to that higher plane on which we can commune with God without effort. But, in fact, everything we need is here.

Instead of a sermon, Pastor Elizabeth responds to pre-submitted questions about church, faith, and theology.

Our guest preacher, Hannah Andres, discusses how difficult it is to achieve simplicity in faith and life. And yet, the so-called "greatest commandment" (Matthew 22:37) is short and sweet...

Acts 2:42-47 shows us that a church doesn't have to offer designer coffee or embrace the trendiest styles to be "successful."

What does James 5:7-11 tell us about the practice of slowing down? What do we lose by rushing all the time?

What does God say about work and rest?
