Heart Matters

Salt House Sermons ·

2025/10/05

In a world obsessed with appearances, Jesus cuts to the heart. This week, we hear a challenging and liberating word from Mark 7—a reminder that what defiles isn’t about rituals or rules, but what flows from within. Come explore how grace reshapes our inner lives - which then becomes our outer lives! - and reorients us toward love, justice, and wholeness.

Walking On Water - I'm Here

Salt House Sermons ·

2025/09/28

Deacon Liz Colver has been a member of Salt House for years and serves the Northwest Washington Synod in the ministry of Transition. One important aspect of transition ministry is the awareness that there's nothing new under the sun, and regardless of the discomfort and uncertainty we might be feeling, Jesus reminds us to "be encouraged, I'm here. Don't be afraid. " Join us Sunday as we continue to journey through Mark's gospel and welcome the good news of God with us through it all.

Daily Bread & The Miracle of Humanity

Salt House Sermons ·

2025/09/21

In Mark 6, Jesus feeds 5000+ in a remote place; a miracle indeed! But God invites into an even deeper miracle; embracing the fullness of our humanity by sharing resources and recognizing the divine image in others, especially when hierarchical systems implore us to be stingy and label others as less than human - and less than worthy of God's love.

Sent Together

Salt House Sermons ·

2025/09/14

In Mark 6:1-13, Jesus sends his disciples out without him for the first time, and he doesn’t send them out alone. We’re not meant to go it alone either. In a world that tells us to be independent, self-reliant, and endlessly strong, this week’s gospel reminds us that we’re called to lean on each other, and to walk and to carry what really matters—together.

Fear and Fatih

Salt House Sermons ·

2025/09/07

This Sunday, we’ll explore the powerful stories woven together in Mark 5:21–43—the healing of a long-suffering woman and the raising of a young girl. Whatever fear and desperation we carry, Jesus meets us - as he met them - with compassion and power. Join us as we consider how Jesus draws us out of fear and into faith, reminding us that healing and new life are possible—even when all seems lost.

We turn to Mark 4:35-41 where Jesus calls the storm, and we welcome a guest preacher who is one of our own, Kimberly Janous.

Invited into the Kingdom

Salt House Sermons ·

2025/08/10

Jesus' parables in Mark 4 show us that the Kingdom of God does not ask us to discriminate. It's not our role to decide who is in and who is out. It does not come to us by force but by invitation. How we receive it and engage with it is up to us. This Sunday, we will consider what a gift it is to be invited to partake in the revealing of God's Kingdom on Earth.

Called & Sent

2025/08/03

In Mark 3:7-19, Jesus is pursued by crowds of hurting, searching people. Then, from those who have begun to follow him, he sets apart twelve apostles—those who will carry his love into the world in a particular way. This Sunday, we’ll reflect on how God meets us and how we, too, are sent to embody hope and healing in a world still aching to belong.

Sabbath & Belonging

Salt House Sermons ·

2025/07/27

This summer, we are walking through the first eight chapters of Mark. As we look to the good news reading for this Sunday, Mark 2:23-3:6, resistance from the Pharisees over violations of the religious law grows stronger. Particularly the Fifth Commandment of observing the Sabbath as a day of rest and worship. The disciples and Jesus appear unfazed. Which brings to mind a quote from priest/novelist Andrew Greeley: “Jesus and his disciples go merrily along their troublemaking way

A Solitary Place

Salt House Sermons ·

2025/06/22

In Mark 1:35-45, Jesus heals a man with a skin disease, then sternly warns him to be quiet about it and report it to a priest. What's happening? There is something for us to hear, in how we live our faith now. In a world hungry for justice but addicted to outrage, how do we recover a vision of a quiet, powerful faith - and how do we put it into practice?

Jesus' Authority

Our summer series Now is the Time: The Gospel of Mark continues; Jesus steps into the public eye—not with pomp or spectacle, but with authority. Not with a sword or a crown, but with healing hands and liberating words. In this time where helaing and liberation is so desperately needed, don't miss worship Sunday as we hear this word for us and for all.

Pentecost: I'm Not Drunk

Salt House Sermons ·

2025/06/08

Pastor Ryan's Final Sermon at Salt HouseRemember how we say, "grief and gratitude are the two hands of prayer"? This saying feels especially apt as I preach my last sermon at Salt House this Sunday. It's also fitting that I'll be preaching on the first Church sermon on Pentecost, and just as relevant today. Back then, the result was 3,000 new disciples of Jesus were baptized, and this Sunday there will be six new disciples baptized! Pray with us for these baptismal candidates and for the outpouring
