Church of the Resurrection Leawood Sermons

In this week's sermon, we hear from Bishop Ruben Saenz as he teaches us how we have access to "superfood" that can energize us to be better representatives of Christ in the world. Just as Olympic athletes have to take care of their bodies and minds, we have to take care of ourselves.

As he concludes his sermon series on "Influencers," Pastor Scott Chrostek asks us to consider the ways in which the world is watching us.

Probably the greatest influencer of all time was Jesus, and as Christians we ought to look to Jesus as a model for how we ought to live in our own influence. In this week's sermon, Pastor Scott reminds us that Jesus was particularly interested in teaching children and showing them what it meant to live into the kingdom of God. We should do the same!

In this week's sermon, Pastor Scott Chrostek invites us to listen to Jesus' great commission – the call to follow Jesus by influencing the world around to become more like Christ.

This past weekend, Rev. Dr. Kevin Murriel cast an incredible vision for how we at Resurrection can participate in God's healing and liberative work for the people on the margins of our society.

This week we welcome Rev. Dr. Anne Gatobu to the pastoral staff at Resurrection, and she shares with us what it means for us to seek the living water that Christ offers us.

This week Pastor Steve Langhofer preaches his final sermon before retirement, and he shares with us some of the wisdom he's learned over his 49 years of ministry. He shows us how to love God, love ourselves, and love the people around us.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Scott Chrostek looks at the film "The Mitchells vs. The Machines" and considers what it can teach us about how to connect with the people around us, including with the people in our own families.

In this week's sermon, Rev. Scott Chrostek looks at the film "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" and considers how Mister Rogers was intentional about being present with the people around him at any given moment. How can we learn from this to genuinely connect with the people we meet today?

In this week's sermon, Rev. Scott Chrostek considers the gospel messages in the movie "Onward" and how this story can teach us to have hope and peace.

This week, Rev. Cheryl Jefferson Bell considered the story of Harriet Tubman and challenged us to continue her work – the work of seeing the suffering of people around us and helping set them free to a full life in Christ.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Adam Hamilton concludes our series on being People of the Light by teaching us three keys to a life filled with meaning: Using discernment in the voices we listen to, remembering to rejoice, pray, and give thanks, and pursuing the good of our fellow humans.
