About Sunday Sermons with Pastor Mike

Join me each week as I re-record (or share live) the Sunday Sermon I preach each week at Faith United Church of Christ in Dunedin, FL. Along with the sermon, there will be additional material such as a welcome, centering moment, reflection questions and other material. Sermons are often best when heard again and they are definitely best when shared to those to hear for the first time. Check in weekly and share widely!

By the Rivers of Minnehaha - They Sat and Wept

Some weeks feel like too much. The news. The heartbreak. The weight of it all. From senseless gun violence to growing division, many of us are wondering how to keep going, where to turn, and whether hope still has a place. This week’s episode offers space to sit with it all. To lament what’s broken. To remember the world we’re still dreaming of. To honor our anger without letting it consume us. And to cling to hope, not because it’s easy—but because it’s necessary. For anyone feeling discouraged, angry, or just plain tired—this one is for you.   And please, continue to hold the victims, families and the Minneapolis community in heart and prayer in this difficult time as they reel from a mass shooting that killed 2 young kids, and injured countless others.  Peace, healing and hope be with them in this time...  Show Note - See the photo referenced of woman running to the school here [https://www.today.com/parents/moms/mom-runs-barefoot-school-shooting-photo-rcna227881]

episode Baptist at its Best (and Worst) artwork

Baptist at its Best (and Worst)

This week on Sunday Sermons, we’re not sugarcoating it. From defrocked mega-church pastors to Bible-wielding culture warriors, a whole lot of Christianity is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Again. But right in the middle of that mess, we baptized two kids. And it reminded me — baptism was never meant to be a religious loophole or a spiritual status symbol. It’s not a ticket to heaven or a shield from accountability. It’s a calling. A commitment. A chance to live a life rooted in compassion, justice, and love — not fear, shame, or control. So let’s talk about what baptism really is, what it’s absolutely not, and why reclaiming it might just be part of saving the soul of the church. Tune in. Reflect. Share.  And don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and pass this along to someone who needs to hear it.

episode Be a Goldfish? The Gospel of Ted Lasso artwork

Be a Goldfish? The Gospel of Ted Lasso

What do forgiveness, humility, and a goldfish have in common?  Turns out, quite a lot. This week’s message, a throwback sermon from a few years ago, is inspired by the unlikely wisdom of Ted Lasso — a coach who reminds us that kindness matters, curiosity beats judgment, and sometimes, the holiest thing you can do is let it go. Whether you’re a fan of the show or not, this one will speak to your soul. This sermon first aired in 2023, right when the world needed a little more kindness, a little more hope, and maybe… a little more Lasso. It’s still just as relevant today. So enjoy this throwback sermon episode and please, head to either the Faith UCC Dunedin Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/FaithUCCDunedinFL] or YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@FaithUCCDunedin] page to see the powerful ‘Pulpit Talk’ from Faith UCC member Ellery Albrecht-Subia from this past Sunday.  You don’t want to miss this one!  And please remember to share, subscribe, like and rate the podcast.  Your support is so appreciated!

episode The Art of Becoming artwork

The Art of Becoming

This week’s episode of Sunday Sermons with Pastor Mike starts with a question from psychologist Dr. Michael Gervais, shared on The Rich Roll Podcast [https://www.richroll.com/podcast/michael-gervais-808/] -“What are you in the process of becoming?” It’s the kind of question that stops you in your tracks — because it’s not just about goals or dreams. It’s about who we are, and who we’re becoming — both as individuals and as a spiritual community making some big decisions around going to solar energy. At Faith UCC, we’ve been on a long journey of becoming. Now we’re asking if the next step is becoming a church that leads with action — one that cares for creation not just in words, but in real, tangible ways. This episode invites reflection, imagination, and bold hope — for your own life and for the future we can build together.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
