Sermons at St. Andrew’s

Emmanuel: God-With-Us and
Us-With-God
God is not Alenuel (God-Against-Us), Tachteynuel (God-Under-Us), or "Menuel" (God-Away-From-Us), but Emmanuel (God-With-Us), with us in Christ through every aspect of existence from birth to death. Because He is fully "God-With-Us," He secures our eternal hope and identity as "Us-With-God."

Moving Closer to the Altar
You and I, by God's grace and mercy, are invited into a tradition that is called to be centered on the Word of God, which has authority, which does what it says, but also has space and patience and time for people to approach and hear as God enables them to do so.
