In a sermon in 4 parts, Jeremiah shares how the community singing together helps the church proclaim, reflect, instruct, and praise. (This sermon was interspersed with congregational singing, which is not included in this recording.)
As we continue our series on habits that help form us as disciples, Marty shares how praying together - especially praying the text - can help us be more like Jesus.
What do disciples do together? Jeremiah begins a new 7-week series that looks at the communal rhythms and habits that help disciples become more like Jesus.
As we wrap up our series on our Core Practices, Jeremiah shares how the practice of developing patient rhythms that reflect the life of Jesus can help lead us toward justice.
How does looking back help us move forward? As we continue our series on UCC’s core practices, Marty shares about what it really means to remember, and how confession is deeply tied to it.
What does it mean to seek reconciliation in a world wracked by division? In part 2 of our Core Practices series, Jeremiah shares how reconciliation begins with God and calls us to unity.
What does it mean to be a people of love? The author of Hebrews helps us answer this question in a series of seemingly disconnected instructions in Hebrews 13.
How do we become a curious people? About what (or about whom?) are we called to stay curious about? We look at a story from Luke's Gospel today to see what we can learn from Jesus' posture and practice.
“Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Marty shared a poignant message with us this week, preaching from Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16 and Luke 12:32-40. What might God be trying to say to you this week?
We continue our journey through Luke's gospel, giving our attention, once again, to Jesus' powerful teaching and storytelling. Caitlin offered us three questions to take before God in further reflection this week: (1) Lord, what’s one thing I can do (today) to practice generosity towards you? (2) Lord, what’s one thing I can do (today) to practice generosity towards myself? (3) Lord, what’s one thing I can do (today) to practice generosity towards another?
Keeping with our theme of “slowing down,” we take a closer look at Jesus’ teaching on prayer—line by line.
There is always a tension for the people of God between doing and being, between serving Jesus and sitting at his feet. As we take a look at sisters Martha and Mary in Luke 10, we’re reminded that service to Christ can never take the place of intimacy with Christ.
What do we do when it feels like the world has lost its mind and there is no justice? Jeremiah explores how Psalm 82 reminds us to stand with the God who stands with the poor and needy.
Marty Solomon concludes our 3 sermon mini-series with Elijah and Elisha by taking a look at the story of Elisha and Naaman.
Megan continues our mini-series through the books of Kings, looking at the faithfulness of the prophets Elijah and Elisha. Whether it’s a reluctant or exuberant faithfulness, both demonstrate a willingness to say “yes” to God.
1 Kings 19 tells the story of what happens after the prophet Elijah’s greatest victory. As Elijah tells himself stories of defeat and hopelessness, Jeremiah asks us to consider the stories we tell ourselves… and the story God is trying to tell.
While the mystery of the Trinity may never be fully understood, Romans 5 indicates that this mystery helps us understand another one - the mystery of suffering.
As we celebrate the birth of the Church on Pentecost, Tyler Chernesky shares a powerful message and testimony about the new kind of kingdom Jesus is bringing into the world.
As Paul closes out his book, he has things to say to us about where our righteousness is found and how we ought to live with each other in our differences. Katie Ranum wraps up our series on Galatians by bringing these questions into our context.
Galatians chapter 5 takes us back to the theme of freedom first explored in chapter 2. Jeremiah shares two ways we can destroy our freedom, and how to walk in freedom well.
