À propos de cette écoute

What if church wasn’t about rules, but about relationship? What if sermons didn’t just tell you what to believe, but invited you to think, wrestle, and wonder? A New Take on Faith is the weekly sermon podcast from Saint Matthew Lutheran Church in Walnut Creek, where we explore scripture through a lens of grace, justice, curiosity, and hope. Whether you’re deconstructing, reconstructing, or just trying to find something real, this is a space where questions are welcome, stories matter, and the love of Jesus meets you exactly where you are.Saint Matthew Spiritualité

    • The Cry That Changed Everything
      Jun 12 2025

      What if the Exodus didn’t begin with miracles—but with a moan? In this episode, we explore how liberation begins not with thunder but with a whisper—God hearing the cry of the oppressed and choosing to move through unexpected partners. Through the story of Moses, we uncover a God who listens, a God who sends, and a God who sings alongside us.

      This isn’t just ancient history. Pharaoh still builds empires today, and the burning bushes still blaze—if we have the courage to turn aside and notice. Join us as we reflect on the power of collective liberation, the holiness of partnership, and why real worship looks a lot like resistance and song.

    • Before the Fall, There Was a Garden
      Jun 11 2025

      What if the story of faith didn’t begin with sin—but with blessing? In this episode, we return to the very beginning, not to focus on what's broken, but to rediscover what’s beautiful. Before commandments and consequences, there was a garden. A Creator who delights, not dominates. A humanity invited not to conquer, but to co-create.

      This week, we unpack what it means to be made in the image of love—not fear. We challenge the stories of empire that still shape our theology, politics, and self-worth, and instead reimagine life through the lens of original blessing, harmony, and belonging. You are not a mistake. You were made for this.

    • The Tent, the Outsider, and the Overflow: Amos and the Hope of Restoration
      May 28 2025

      After nine chapters of thunderous judgment, Amos ends not with doom, but with a vision of divine restoration. In this episode, we explore the final verses of Amos 9, where tents are rebuilt, outsiders are welcomed, and the hills overflow with sweet wine. Pastor Mike unpacks how God’s justice isn’t about punishment for punishment’s sake, it’s about making room for new life. You’ll hear stories of cracked soil, ancient feasts, and radical inclusion that invite us to reimagine what God’s abundance looks like in our world today. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can build with the broken, you’ll want to hear this.
