Show Me Something Good | Christy Jo Harber

The Whole Body Adjusts | Christy Jo Harber

In this week’s sermon, Rev. Christy Jo shares a message from 1 Corinthians 12:12-20. When one part of the body hurts, the whole body responds. We’re invited to imagine the church not as a collection of individuals, but as the living Body of Christ– learning to carry one another’s burdens, celebrate one another’s joys, and adjust together for the sake of healing. As we look toward our new fiscal year at Woodland, we remember that every gift, every act of service, and every shared commitment helps the whole body flourish. This sermon was preached on June 28th, 2026.

It is not I, But We | Christy Jo Harber

In this week’s sermon, Rev. Christy Jo shares a message from Matthew 25:31-40. When Jesus speaks of the hungry, the stranger, the sick, the imprisoned, he reveals a surprising truth: we encounter God not in isolation, but in one another. This week we reflect on Matthew 25 and the sacred work of responding to human need through compassion, generosity, and community discovering that God’s kin-dom takes shape whenever we choose to participate in God’s vision for a more just a loving world.

The Great Commission | David Shirey 6.14.26

In this week’s sermon, Rev. David Shirey shares a message from Matthew 28:16-20 based on the final words of Matthew’s Gospel. David Shirey explores Jesus’ last words to his disciples. How odd that he sends eleven not so great disciples to carry out what is called The Great Commission. But maybe that’s good news after all.     This sermon was preached on June 14th, 2026.
