“Come and follow me:” One the most thought provoking and anxiety producing phrases in the Gospels any of us can hear or experience in our lives.
Epiphany is every day. Or at least it can be. With the Magi as our inspiration can you set aside expectations and allow yourself to experience God in a new and exciting way?
Welcome back home! We have returned after our summer of “Brunch Church” outdoors and are ready to welcome you all home. Rev. Alicia returns to the pulpit with the story of Joshua and his important question to the Israelites AND us: who does your house serve?
Back to the basics: baptism
Saying grace is a practice that transcends time and culture, But, sometimes it can be really difficult to “say grace,” when the world around us feels like it’s on fire. So why should we say grace in moments when it’s hard? Because it is about more than merely giving thanks. It’s an invitation to something more.
The kingdom of God is like.. ourselves here by the lakeshore in Capernaum, sitting with Jesus and the crowd which has gathered, as he teaches about the Kingdom of God and the infinite possibilities there are to experience it.
Today, we gather to explore the profound call found in 2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1—a call to live authentically Christian lives which embody mercy, justice, and compassion. You know - Lives where we aren’t just speaking about how God is present in our lives, but LIVING as if we are always in the Presence of God
We have been on a bit of a pilgrimage together. We have been witness to what I like to think of as God’s love letter to Creation, as we find it in our scriptures. And throughout that love letter, there is a common theme: Presence as Love in action.
When God asks, “Who should we send?”into the world, Isaiah responds with a confident, “here I am. Send me!” Isaiah’s encounter with God offers a powerful blueprint for renewal in our churches and in our society. But we have to show up first.
Mother’s Day is a day fraught with complexity. In this prayer written by Rev. A, you are invited to lean into that complexity, and lift up the beauty and difficulty this day can bring.
Mother’s Day is complicated. So is faith. And this message from 1 Timothy is exactly the sort of message we need to hear today, as we remember the mother’s and nurturers in our lives and how we are called to the work of passing along our legacies of love.
Loving like Jesus: Love One Another
This week was a monumental one in the life of the world-wide UMC. With all the changes, many are asking, “So where does this leave us?“ Well, Beloved, the scripture for today gives us the answer to the “now what?” question for us and our church: We continue to love.
Welcome to week 3 in our series “Living Like Jesus.” This week we are on the topic of living in a way that speaks to our Love of God.
Now, after a number of conversations - and I am not just saying that! I HAVE had a number of conversations - about how we engage the text in worship vs. Bible study, and how some folks wish we could have a moment in worship that is LIKE our Bible studies vs. a sermon that can feel like I am talking AT y’all, we are going to give that a try this week.
How do we know we are “doing the thing-“ that thing being living like Jesus? By living LOVE in a world which seems to thrive on something else entirely.
So often in our churches we participate in the intellectual exercises of faith and belief, but what about the practical side of things? This week we explore how to live like Jesus, and dig into what it means to “live hope,” as one way of doing so.
When Mary encountered the angel at the tomb, there were two miracles at work. The miracle of resurrection and the miracle of faith in the face of uncertainty.
Welcome to Holy Week, beloved church! Today begins our observance of one of the most sacred and impactful weeks of our faith. Palm Sunday is not just a moment of celebration but it’s also an invitation to sit UP and proclaim what we know to be true about our faith, what we know to be true about Jesus and his message of LOVE
Here we are, church! We have entered the penultimate - oh I love that word, second to last - of our lenten series where we are invited to get UP to something by asking questions of ourselves during this season of deepening our understanding of what the Jesus story means to us in our faith journeys.
This lent we explore the question: what is God UP to in our lives? Week 4 is our reminder to light UP the world…even as one particular passage in today’s selected text has been used in the past to, well, do quite the opposite.
This Lent we explore the question: what is God UP to in our lives? Week 3 reminds us that as important as it is to tear down systems of oppression and injustice we also need to raise UP the promise of resurrection
