Worship & Sermon Archive

Of all our biblical ancestors, Hannah is the one I turn to when thinking about prayer. Hannah knows prayer - fierce prayer!

This week we'll begin a new sermon series on "Abundant Living". Abundance in scripture is not about quantity, it's about quality.

The heart of the Christian message is simple.  How, then, does it get so screwed up?

This Sunday, we are delighted to welcome Rev. Doris Dalton as our guest preacher.

For the last two weeks in worship and in Connect & Care, we've thought about God's ongoing work in reforming the world and us. 

This week, our October sermon series on 'Re-Formation' takes us to the pages of scripture. What would it mean to re-form scripture?

My favorite quote by E.B. White is the famous, "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve, or save, the world and a desire to enjoy, or savor, the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."

Jesus never says, don’t have enemies, he just tells us what to do with them.

This Sunday is packed with good stuff. First, we're back to worshipping at 11am.

How often have we heard 1 Corinthians 13 read at weddings? The irony, of course, is that marriage is probably the last thing St. Paul had in mind...

"God is love." Maybe because we've heard that a lot, we fail to recognize how radical a statement that is.

This month we have been exploring the theme 'Finding Faith'. But two questions remain for me: How much do I need? and What is it good for?

Captain America, Wonderwoman, Bucky Barnes. Bella Swan. What do they all have in common? They have shields (or are shields). Shields protect the body, repelling instruments of harm. 

On Sunday, we'll continue in our worship series "Finding Faith." We'll delve into the perceived antagonism between faith and works this week, drawing from the epistle of James.

After the past year and a half, it's challenging to know who, or what, to have faith in.  How can we learn to trust again--ourselves, each other, our God? 

Our August theme is 'Finding Faith'. The past months and years have left many of us shaken, confused, frustrated, and questioning.

As we explore the theme Towards Freedom this month, we have focused so far on the way we express freedom as individuals.

As my seminary professor Chris Morse used to put it, God is the one who loves us into freedom and frees us to love.  I can't think of a better summary of Christian theology than that!  

We are all vaguely familiar with the tale of David and Goliath, a story that has entered secular culture as a symbol of striving and thriving against overwhelming odds.

This Sunday, we'll be live and on Zoom for worship!  We'll come together from our homes or from wherever you have traveled to join our hearts and minds in real time, starting at 10am!
