Raise the Question: Answer The Call

Exploring the Nature of God: God is Our Safe Place

Welcome to our Sunday Sermon podcast!  In this sermon, Pastor Jo Ellen asks, "Where is your safe space?"  Is it a physical space, a person, or a memory? How does David’s honesty in pouring out his complaint before God reflect his relationship with God? In what ways can we relate to David’s feelings of loneliness and being “overwhelmed” in our own lives? How can we cultivate the same level of trust in God that David demonstrates? If you were to write your own prayer in the style of Psalm 142, what would you say? Write your prayer this week and share it aloud with God.

David, Saul, and Feeling Alone

What are the differences between “knowing” and “controlling” everything, and does one or the other frustrate you, give you peace, or something else?

Exploring the Nature of God: God Is Creator

Welcome to our Sunday Sermon Podcast!  In this sermon, Pastor Matt asks what was the last thing you saw that brought you a sense of awe? What is the main point of Genesis 1?  Does thinking about or believing in God as creator ask anything of you as an individual or us as humans? If so, what?  If the interpretive trajectory of the sermon on Genesis 1 (and 2) is new or different to you, what other questions or interpretations do you have?
