Father Shawn McCain Tieres | May 24, 2026

What happens when God shows up in ways we didn't plan for, speaking to people we didn't expect, through channels we didn't approve? Using the image of a driverless car and the story of Pentecost, Father Shawn explores our deep need to control outcomes and manage the Spirit—and why the miracle of Pentecost wasn't uniformity, but God speaking to every person in the language they already have. This is an invitation to stop gatekeeping and start listening for the wild, undomesticated Spirit moving in unexpected places.

Have you ever stood in the place where something good used to be, staring at the sky, not quite ready to turn around and face what comes next? Father Shawn explores the disciples' fear of abandonment after Christ's ascension and the powerful truth that we are never alone. Through the stories of three beloved leaders being sent out from Resurrection South Austin, he challenges us to ask: How is the Spirit moving in your life? This sermon addresses the universal fear of being left behind and invites us to open ourselves to God's call, even in moments of transition and uncertainty.

In a week marked by rising costs, eroding rights, and collective heaviness, Father Scott reminds us of a profound truth: we can count it all joy because God is intimately near. Drawing from her own season of loss and struggle in seminary, she explores how Jesus promises the Holy Spirit as our constant companion, how Paul declares we live and move in God, and how our baptism seals us in unshakeable love. This Mother's Day sermon offers a healing balm for weary souls, calling us to find joy not by ignoring our pain, but by remembering the God who fills us with love, grace, and mercy even in our darkest moments.

Life doesn't pause for Easter—diagnoses still come, bills still overwhelm, relationships still fracture, and institutions still fail us. Father Shawn explores how Stephen's stoning reveals a stunning truth: in our worst moments, when darkness creeps in like a Tuesday afternoon, God makes a way forward we can't yet see. This sermon confronts the real weight of despair while calling us into the diaconal work of serving the vulnerable and speaking up for justice, not as good deeds to earn God's favor, but as evidence that the Father's house has already been built in us.

In a world full of competing voices—family systems, money, politics, social media—how do we learn to recognize the voice of the Good Shepherd? Father Shawn explores John 10's image of sheep knowing their shepherd's voice, comparing it to a family whistle that cuts through any crowd. He challenges us to examine what voices we've confused with Jesus' voice and asks provocative questions: When's the last time you quieted your own anxiety about money long enough to ask God what He wants you to do with it? What would happen if you listened for the Shepherd's voice about how you arrange your life and community?

Rev. Janne Osborne | April 19, 2026

The Road to Emmaus story isn't just about Jesus revealing himself—it's about our invitation. Two devastated followers walked away from Jerusalem, their hopes buried with their rabbi. A stranger joined them, taught them, but they didn't recognize him until they did something radical: they invited him into their darkness. This Easter sermon challenges us to stop waiting for Jesus to show up and start inviting him into the scariest, most hopeless places of our lives—the dark doorways we're afraid to walk through alone.

Thomas wasn't doubting Jesus—he was drowning in grief. This Easter sermon challenges the traditional "Doubting Thomas" narrative and offers a profound truth: the joy of resurrection doesn't erase the pain of loss, it transforms it. If you're struggling to reconcile faith with grief, or wondering why Easter joy feels distant when you're hurting, this message meets you exactly where you are with the assurance that God breathes hope into our deepest pain.

Father Shawn McCain Tirres | Easter Sunday 2026

What if Easter doesn't ask you to pretend you're okay? Father Shawn meets us where we actually are — carrying grief, fear, and a world that feels like it's falling apart — and delivers the honest, defiant hope of the resurrection. Rooted in Matthew 28, this Easter message centers on the angel's repeated command to the women at the tomb: "Do not be afraid."

On Good Friday, we ask the ancient question: why is this night different from all others? This sermon explores how Jesus's passion—both his suffering and his intense devotion to wholeness, community, and love—led to the cross. Even as we witness the worst humanity can do, God holds it all together, transforming death into new life. Discover how God's passionate love meets us in our brokenness and makes us part of the new creation, right where we are, right now.

On Maundy Thursday, Father Scott Madison unpacks the three essential commands Jesus gives us during the Last Supper: to serve one another, to love radically, and to worship through communion. In a world that feels chaotic and overwhelming, these ancient commands become our roadmap for living as Christ's disciples. When we pour out love, service, and worship into the world around us, people will recognize that we belong to Jesus—not by our words, but by how we live.

Holy Week always seems to sneak up on us, especially when the world feels full of trouble. But Father Shawn reminds us that Holy Week isn't an escape from our struggles—it's the most honest engagement with them. As Jesus enters Jerusalem on a borrowed donkey, the crowd asks the essential question: "Who is this?" This Palm Sunday sermon explores how Jesus refuses the power of empire and violence, choosing instead the humble, self-giving love that truly overcomes the world. It's an invitation to follow closely enough and long enough to discover who this King really is.
