    Commonality over Difference | The Sermon on 03/08/26
    2026/03/09
    As Jesus and the Woman at the Well meet in John 4, they press through their differences to find common ground in the identity of the Messiah. Can we also look for commonality in the midst of our differences? + We're a church on a mission to know Christ and to make Christ known to others. Visit St. Stephen's online: www.ststephensboise.org

    2026/03/02
    After a quiet retreat day at St. Stephen's, we consider the stories of Abram, Paul, and Nicodemus and ask "what will we allow for God to show us" in the midst of silence and contemplation? + We're a church on a mission to know Christ and to make Christ known to others.

    What Life Teaches Jesus in the Wilderness | The Sermon on 02/22/26
    2026/02/23
    The Spirit leads Jesus into the wilderness in Matthew 4. Before Jesus asks others to hunger after righteousness, he experiences his own hunger. What else does Jesus learn in the wilderness, and can we follow his example and put ourselves in uncomfortable places this Lent to learn as he did? + We're a church on a mission to know Christ and to make Christ known to others.

    The Beatitudes as an Invitation into the Life of Jesus | The Sermon on 02/01/26
    2026/02/02
    "As a society, it feels more and more that everyday we are teetering on the knife's edge. Many of us are feeling that the Gospel might compel us to the responsibility of choosing the 'right' side. I believe the Gospel also gives us another option: to take a step back from all of it and to do everything that we can to remove that knife altogether. Blessed are the peacemakers, indeed." + We're a church on a mission to know Christ and to make Christ known to others. Visit St. Stephen's online: www.ststephensboise.org

  • Through Love, Be of the Same Mind | The Sermon on 01/25/26

    Through Love, Be of the Same Mind | The Sermon on 01/25/26
    2026/01/26
    St. Paul asks the Church in Corinth to be of the same mind and purpose. What would he ask the people and Church in America today? Why we can't agree on what is true? Why we put our trust in force? Why violence is so often celebrated? When will we repent for the killing of innocents in our streets? "The world is too dangerous for anything but truth, and too small for anything but love." + We're a church on a mission to know Christ and to make Christ known to others.

  • We Belong to Each Other | 01/11/26

    We Belong to Each Other | 01/11/26
    2026/01/12
    On Baptism as a commitment to nonviolence and belonging to one another: "To separate each other, as we have in our hearts, minds, and rhetoric, is a first and easy step to no longer belonging to each other. It has taken over as an instinct in our lives, and I'm here to tell to you resist it. Forsake that instinct! Do not find a home in your heart for the ways of violence or revenge or separation from your neighbor. It will only grow. It will only become more normal. Instead, may we remember that in the waters of baptism, we put our entire trust in the hands of others and in the death of our Lord -- both of whom are beloved by God." + We're a church on a mission to know Christ and to make Christ known to others.
