The Plentiful Harvest

In a world exhausted by violence, division, and fear, Jesus sends ordinary people into the wounds of their communities—not to build empires, but to cultivate gardens of healing, peace, and hope. (sermon begins at 01:00) Scripture & Quotations Matthew 9:35-10:23

The Unscripted Spirit

On Pentecost, we’re reminded that the Holy Spirit cannot be controlled or confined by religious institutions, but moves through all people, and in unexpected places, even behind prison walls. The Spirit calls us to deep listening; recognizing the voice of God as one of unfailing, dignifying love. (sermon begins at 01:00) Scripture & Quotations Acts 2:1-18 Numbers 11:24-30 1 Corinthians 12:3-13

Out From The Fold

I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. The blessed pasture to which God calls us is not hidden behind four walls, it’s out in the world; the shepherd’s loving voice our constant guide. (sermon begins at 01:00) Scripture & Quotations John 10:1-10 Acts 2:43-37 John 6:52-53

Still Here

In an age where cynical charlatans perform certainty in the name of power and control, the true resurrection life travels directly through the honest, humble, faithful experience of doubt. Join us in exploring this illuminating encounter with fresh eyes. (sermon begins at 01:00) Scripture & Quotations John 20:19-31

Easter Sunday: The Story We’re Still Learning to Tell…

Seeing resurrection can be a complicated thing amid the ceaseless crises gripping our human family.

It’s not a war story, and it’s not a horror story. It’s a love story. (sermon begins at 01:00) Scripture & Quotations John 20
