Join Pastor Jacob as he explores how the Deaf community understands the story of Jesus healing a man who is deaf in Mark 7. What is the real miracle of this passage?

In one of Jesus' miracles he doesn't get it right the first time! Then again, we don't always get it right the first time either. Pastor Jen helps us understand that sometimes we don't always see clearly, and that's part of life.

This week for our "3 Day Flip" sermon series, we look at the example par excellence of restoration in the New Testament: Saul's conversion experience before he becomes Paul. Do we believe that anyone is capable of change?

Pastor Jen ends our “Uncorked" sermon series with the story of Jesus’s first miracle: turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana. Why did he “waste” his first miracle on this small country party?

Jesus' parables are intentionally multi-layered and challenge us to think below the surface. Join Pastor Jacob as he explores The Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard and its possible message for us now and after death.

In Scripture, a meal is never just a meal. Bread is never just bread. Wine is never just wine. Join Jesus at his last meal with his disciples, even the disciple who is about to betray him, as they share together in a Passover Seder. As Jesus takes a cup and blesses it, what message is he sharing with his friends and with us?

Pastor Jen kicks off our new sermon series, “Uncorked: Sermons from Grape to Glass.” Join her as she sets the stage with California’s storied history of winemaking and considers what Jesus meant when he said you can’t out new wine in old wineskins. What is the new wine being poured into your life, and how will you receive it in a new vessel?

Join us in welcoming Cantor Paul Buch of Temple Beth Israel!

Oftentimes so-called "Bible-believing" churches perpetuate the worst racism, homophobia, and hatred in our country. In today's sermon on New Year's Resolutions, Pastor Jacob reminds us that to embody God’s Word doesn’t just mean to read the Bible, because we know that we can read and quote the Bible all we want and completely miss the mark on how it’s supposed to transform our lives. Tune-in to learn more about what it actually looks like to embody God's Word.

Pastor Jen explores the story of Jesus' baptism and asks us to consider what it would mean to listen to God's voice telling each of us that we are beloved and well-pleasing just the way we are.
