The Virgin Mary (Luke 1)
December 23, 2023 21:00 - 17 minutes - 11.8 MBThis sermon is for the 4th Sunday in Advent, which is also Christmas Eve Day, December 24, 2023, based on the Gospel reading from Luke 1:26-38. In this passage the gospel writer sets the stage—and the stakes—for the miraculous, prophetic, improbable birth of the Son of God, King of Kings, and Savior of the Nations. And it all begins with the courageous faith of a young, poor, unwed girl named Mary. We’ll take a closer look at Mary, the angel Gabriel, the names of Jesus, and why these detail...
The Living Word (Matthew 19)
September 16, 2023 23:00 - 21 minutes - 15 MBHello, welcome to the Will Preach for Food podcast. I’m Doug, a pastor here at Faith Lutheran Church, based out of Shelton, Washington, a congregation of the ELCA. I took the summer off from recording this podcast, but it feels good to be back. Thank you so much for tuning in. You can learn more about Faith at our website, www.faithshelton.org. I am recording this for the 16th Sunday after Pentecost, September 17, 2023.

Name Dropping (Romans 16)
June 14, 2023 23:00 - 25 minutes - 17.3 MBThis is the final podcast in my sermon series through the book of Romans. I'll be taking a couple months off from recording this summer, but will be back with more this fall. --Doug Romans 16:1-16 ...And it brings me to this final chapter 16. I’ll warn you, that it is a lengthy list of weird sounding names. But I want to read it, and as I do, see if you notice anything surprising or unusual. I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church in Cenchreae. 2 I ask you to receive h...
Welcoming One Another (Romans 15)
May 30, 2023 02:00 - 16 minutes - 11.5 MBWe begin, therefore, by reciting a single verse, Romans 15:7. Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. This is the word of God. Amen. Welcome Home! Hospitality is kind of a big deal around here. We begin every worship service with a call and response. I stand up in front of the congregation and say “Welcome Home!” And the congregation responds “It’s good to be home!” But here’s the thing. It’s not “OUR” house. It’s GOD’s house. God welcomes e...
A Strong Faith (Romans 14)
May 10, 2023 16:00 - 17 minutes - 11.8 MBRomans 14:1-9 I want to look as well at the passage from Romans 14. In some ways, Paul is answering the same question: what do we need to do, what do we need to know? In particular, there are questions in Rome about worship practices and dietary restrictions. How often do we need to go to church? Is it okay to eat bacon? Can I eat bacon AT church? As you can imagine, there were, in Paul’s day—as in ours—differences of opinion, differences of practice in some of these matters. Listen again t...
Drop Kick Me, Jesus (Romans 13)
May 03, 2023 15:00 - 15 minutes - 10.9 MBDrop kick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life, end over end, neither left nor the right.

Many Members, One Body (Romans 12)
April 23, 2023 01:00 - 18 minutes - 12.7 MBIn Romans 12 Paul begins to describe how God has designed Christian community to be like a single body with many members—body parts—each with a distinct function and purpose, but all belonging to and working together as one body. So today we’ll be talking about stewardship, spiritual gifts, and Christian vocation. Takeaways will include a “time and talents” form for volunteering at Faith, and a larger call to share the gifts of God, to “be” the body of Christ “out there,” beyond the church w...
By Grace Through Faith (Romans 9-11)
April 19, 2023 02:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBWe’re continuing a series through Paul’s letter to the Romans. “By Grace Through Faith” is my ongoing title, as it summarizes, not only the book of Romans, but really the message of the whole Bible. It’s always been about God’s grace, from Genesis to Revelation and everything in between. One of the most pressing concerns in the first century church was the simple but profound question: “What about the Jews?” Had God given up on them? This was a very personal issue for the writer of Romans, ...

By Grace Through Faith (Romans 7)
April 02, 2023 03:00 - 21 minutes - 15 MBThis podcast is being recorded for Palm Sunday, April 2, 2023. We’ve got the story of Palm Sunday from the 12th chapter of the gospel of John. We’re going to look ahead at what we call “Maundy Thursday.” I’ll tell you about a core Lutheran teaching based on Romans 7, called “simul justis et peccator”—recognition of our life in Christ as simultaneously justified and sinner. And we’ll end with God’s good declaration: you are beautiful, you are loved. So let’s start by reading the gospel of Joh...
By Grace Through Faith, Part Four (Romans 6)
March 26, 2023 02:00 - 19 minutes - 13.5 MBSo far, in the first five chapters of the book of Romans, the Apostle Paul has talked about sin, salvation, and suffering—all of us in the same boat, bound to sin and saved by grace, apart from any works of the law, including theories like substitutionary atonement. Suffering is neither a sign of blessing or disfavor. Suffering mostly just, well, is. Today, Paul addresses a fourth universal human experience: death. I’ll begin today by reading a few verses of Romans 6, then pivot to a story a...

By Grace Through Faith, Part Three (Romans 5)
March 12, 2023 01:00 - 17 minutes - 12.2 MBToday’s big idea is Paul’s claim in Romans 5 that we have “peace with God.” This is by grace, through faith, apart from works of the law. By grace we have peace with God, forgiveness of sins, and courage for life. Let’s read Romans 5:1-8 and dive in. Romans 5:1-8 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glor...

I’m preaching through the book of Romans this spring. “By Grace Through Faith” is my series title, and today is Part Two, looking at Romans 3-4. Here Paul articulates his proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ, that we are justified by grace, through faith, apart from works of the law. To this day, this is a radical and liberating message, one that because it sounds too good to be true, most folks, including well...

Experiencing the Transfiguration (Matthew 17), with Rev. Brenda Satrum
February 18, 2023 23:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MBAs we come to worship the God who’s always loving us first, take a deep breath. Bring your shoulders up to your ears, then let them melt down you back. Today we’re going to enter the Gospel with our imaginations. As a warmup, I wonder if you can remember a moment of warmth and safety that you enjoyed, maybe near a cozy fire, or in bright and beautiful sun, or in the embrace of a loved one… Thank you, Holy God, for the warm light of your love, your peace. May the peace of God be with you all!...

Preaching Christ Crucified (1 Corinthians 1)
January 28, 2023 20:00 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MB1 Corinthians 1:18-24 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” 20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not kno...
Making Christ Known (Matthew 4)
January 22, 2023 03:00 - 20 minutes - 13.9 MBMaking Christ Known is today’s podcast title, and it is part of this congregation’s mission statement. Faith exists to reveal Jesus to the world. To make him known. What we say about Jesus, and how we live as a result of Jesus. Our talk AND our walk. One of my favorite verses talks about this: Let your light so shine before others that they may see your good works, and glorify the Father in heaven. Today we are looking at two passages from the Bible. The first one gives us some intel about...
Living Sanctuary (John 1)
January 15, 2023 04:00 - 19 minutes - 13.1 MBWhat is at the heart of worship? Today we’re going to talk about the Lamb of God and the Spirit of Christ. We’re going to consider what is a sanctuary, and how Baptism both invites us into worship AND sends us out for mission, service, and evangelism. Let’s start with a reading from the gospel of John, the first chapter, beginning at verse 29. John 1:29-42 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the ...
Communion 101
January 07, 2023 19:00 - 19 minutes - 13.5 MBIn today’s Bible reading, the apostle Paul is writing to a congregation about its practice of holy communion in the earliest stages of the church. Today I want to spend some time learning from the Bible itself what Holy Communion is—and isn’t. You might be surprised to know that the Bible uses several images and metaphors for describing the meaning and power of this bread and wine: “given and shed for you.” I hope today’s message leads to some good conversations in your household about what ...

Bear Fruit and Burn Chaff (Matthew 3)
December 07, 2022 18:00 - 24 minutes - 16.5 MBPrepare ye the way of the Lord! In today’s Bible reading from Matthew 3, we read about a rock star preacher named John the Baptist. Long hair. Cool clothes. Trendy diet. Outdoor venue. Standing Room Only. John the Baptist is a pivotal character in the Bible story, and one whose example and message we consider every year around this time, at least, those of us who observe the season of Advent in the church calendar. We are getting ready, after all. Ready for Christmas. Ready for Christ to com...
In These Last Days (Isaiah 2)
November 27, 2022 02:00 - 18 minutes - 12.5 MBHere we are, at the end of 2022. It sure FEELS like the end times, doesn’t it? So many of our systems seem worn out. Things feel like they are getting worse. Armageddon. Apocalypse. The end of the world as we know it. People have a lot of ideas about Bible prophesies and what it says about the last days, the return of Christ, and the end of the world as we know it. It can be a little bit scary, especially if you get your theology from Indiana Jones, the DaVinci Code, or TikTok. In fact, the...
Finishing the Race (EHR 8)
November 13, 2022 01:00 - 15 minutes - 10.5 MBDear friends, grace to your and peace from Abba-God and the Lord Jesus Christ! Way back in mid-August, I introduced our Emotionally Healthy Relationships series imagining our spiritual lives as a marathon—a long, long race, or facetiously, a five-year mission to explore strange new feelings, seek new life in Christ’s civilization, to boldly go where Christ has gone before! Since then, we’ve leaned into our biblical roots and drawn insights and tools from modern psychology, deepening our ...
They Will Be Comforted (Matthew 5)
November 06, 2022 02:00 - 16 minutes - 11.1 MBI have to say that this has been a very emotional week at Faith. All week the church has been buzzing with church members preparing for our annual holiday bazaar, which is taking place even as I record this podcast! It is also my daughter’s birthday—Happy Birthday, Hannah! But even as we have been enjoying the fellowship, the baking, and the decorations of the week, we are grieving, too. We can’t help but notice the people who aren’t here. For years people would come to the bazaar to buy G...
Here I Stand (EHR 6)
October 30, 2022 02:00 - 20 minutes - 13.8 MBHappy Reformation Sunday, celebrating the re-forming, re-newing work of the Holy Spirit in the church in every generation. Lutefisk, lutefisk, lefse, lefse: We’re the mighty Lutherans—Yah, shore, you betcha! We are also in week six of our series focusing on Emotionally Healthy Relationships—EHR for short—as Faith leans into our congregation’s vision and dream to grow “closer to and more like Jesus.” Emotionally Healthy Relationships is an eight-week preaching, devotional, and small group se...
Sanctification 101 (EHR 4)
October 16, 2022 02:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MBExploring the Iceberg How do we grow closer to and more like Jesus? How are we experiencing the regeneration of the Holy Spirit in our lives today? It starts and ends with God’s agape love for us and for the world. God, in Christ Jesus, has done for us what we could not do for ourselves. Through the love of Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we have been saved, justified, and called children of God. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Amen? Amen. In ob...
Grandpa Is in My Bones (EHR 3)
October 09, 2022 00:00 - 23 minutes - 15.9 MBWords for beginning the service: You have loved us first, O God, alas! We speak of it in terms of history as if You loved us first but a single time, rather than that without ceasing You have loved us first many times and every day and our whole life through. When we wake up in the morning and turn our soul toward You—You are there first—You have loved us first; if I rise at dawn and at that same second turn my soul toward You in prayer, You are there ahead of me, You have loved me first. W...

C2MLJ, w/ Rev. Brenda Satrum
September 18, 2022 02:00 - 18 minutes - 12.7 MBGOSPEL READING 1Then Jesus said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. 2So [the rich man] summoned [the manager] and said, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.’ 3Then the manager said to himself, ‘What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am a...
The Prodigal Jesus, Re-Visioned (Luke 15)
September 11, 2022 01:00 - 16 minutes - 11.2 MBToday’s reading is Luke 15:11-32, often known as the parable of the Prodigal Son. The word “prodigal,” comes from the description of the younger son’s “wild living” in verse 13. Reckless, extravagant, wasteful, over the top. A closer reading wonders about several “prodigal” characters, including both brothers and the father, and whether maybe the younger brother is actually the hero of the story, and is, in fact, a way for Jesus to describe himself and how it is that God’s kingdom is being ...
Tending the Earth (Genesis 2)
September 03, 2022 18:00 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MBWe are wired to ask questions from the time we are little. Where do babies come from? Why is the sky blue? Why is life so hard sometimes? What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything? Most of these questions defy a cookie cutter answer. And so we tell stories. The Bible is full of compelling, multi-faceted stories that make us think and help us see the world with fresh eyes. The Bible includes not just one, but two stories about how and why God created the heavens and the eart...
Room at the Table (Luke 14)
August 28, 2022 00:00 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MBThe primary image for today’s message is that of a banquet, of a big table with lots and lots of people and a table with lots and lots of free food. Think about the biggest feast you’ve ever attended. Jesus says that the kingdom of God is like THAT, and that there is a place for YOU at the table. Let’s look at what it means to be a GUEST at God’s table, then what it looks like to faithfully HOST God’s table. Today’s word of God has application for our shared worship and our shared spaces. An...

Faith, Wildflowers, and a Horse Named Bam-Bam (Hebrews 11)
August 07, 2022 03:00 - 16 minutes - 11.1 MBMy wife (Brenda) and I just returned from an amazing week-long adventure in the Bob Marshall Wilderness of Montana. People in Montana know it simply as “The Bob.” We were two of eleven guests, six guides, seventeen horses, and sixteen mules coved over 45 miles of remote, rugged wilderness: from Wrong Creek to the North China Wall, the north fork of the Sun River and Headquarters Pass. We saw bear, elk, red-tailed hawks, towering peaks, and meadow after meadow of the most glorious wildflowers...
The Art of Neighboring (Luke 10)
July 09, 2022 21:00 - 21 minutes - 15 MBI am recording this podcast for the 5th Sunday after Pentecost. My sermon title is “The Art of Neighboring,” as a reflection on one of the more well-known stories told by Jesus: the story of the Good Samaritan, found in Luke 10:25-37. The story teaches us how to inherit eternal life and how to be a good neighbor. It turns out these are the same thing. Open your Bible to Luke 10, and let’s dig in. As I read, I want to invite you to close your eyes and imagine the scene. Where are you in the s...

Grads and Dads and Juneteenth (Luke 8)
June 18, 2022 18:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBWe read about Jesus to learn about God’s love for us. In the gospel of Luke, Jesus’ mission statement is borrowed from the Old Testament prophet Isaiah. It is quoted in Luke 4:18-19, and it says this: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” And, sure enoug...

Grown-Ass Christians (Ephesians 4)
