"This is the LORD’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes!" What is "it" that is God's doing in this verse from Psalm 118? The truth is, has been many things over the years—and that's okay. Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “Lent https://artisanchurch.com/worship/sermons/lent-2024/”

This week's sermon explores how there are many forms of wilderness in our lives, and how those spaces can become grumbling refuges for us that stunt our deeper purpose. As Israel seeks the Promised Land and Nicodemus tries to understand Jesus's instruction on the Kingdom of God, we, too, are invited to explore how to leave the wildernesses of our lives and head home towards home again.

God made a promise to Abram, and 24 years later, it still had not been fulfilled. After many trials and mistakes, and with some pointed reminders, Abram received a new name—Abraham—and a new version of the promise. Abraham is later commended by the Apostle Paul for his faith, which was shaky, messy, and sometimes barely there.

The wise men who visited Jesus returned to their own country "by another road." So many of us have arrived at a new revelation of God through Jesus and feel disconnected from our past. What if we are called not to abandon our roots, but to return to them from another direction? Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin

The Gospels tell us that Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness to pray as he cultivated his own consciousness of God in the midst of his activities. Christian sages and mystics from the past and in the present day have emphasized the link between contemplation and meditation and continuing Jesus’ acts of healing and peacemaking. Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “Make Peace https://artisanchurch.com/worship/sermons/make-peace/”
What is the difference between “us” and “we”? Well, the answer can be found in English grammar. (Sorry!) Church is not just something we ; it is also something we are called to . And in order to be effective and successful in pursuing this calling, we need everyone to join in. Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “Church: Why Bother? https://artisanchurch.com/worship/sermons/church-why-bother/”
The message of scripture and the consistent witness of the church are clear: the body of Christ is stronger and more reflective of the image of God when more people (and more types of people!) are part of the mix. We need “you” in order to be the best version of “us.” Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “Church: Why Bother? https://artisanchurch.com/worship/sermons/church-why-bother/”
Being part of a spiritual community is good for you. Coming together for worship, fellowship, and sacred ritual is restorative to your soul in a way that nothing else is.

Five inspiring stories from members of the Artisan community. Speaker: The people of Artisan Part of the series “All Are Welcome: Queer Inclusion From a Christian Perspective https://artisanchurch.com/worship/sermons/all-are-welcome/”
For those who find the "verse by verse" approach unsatisfying or unconvincing, it may be helpful to think instead about the broad principles expressed and implied in scripture. Identifying the found in the Bible and seeking to apply it consistently to social issues of our day is a valid method of applying biblical truth. Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “All Are Welcome: Queer Inclusion From a Christian Perspective https://artisanchurch.com/worship/sermons/all-are-welcome/”
The most obvious (if not the most helpful) approach to this topic is to examine the relatively few verses in the Bible that directly address LGBTQ+ matters. Although these verses have traditionally been used to exclude queer folks, it is reasonable to reach a different interpretation after a more careful reading of the text.
