July 25, 2021 Reimagining Time
Our series in collaboration with Good Shepherd New York continues to
explore important dimensions of our lives and communities as followers of
Jesus in this season of re-establishing rhythms. Our dear brother Gideon
Tsang invites us to consider how our experience of time has been changed by
the pandemic, and how Jesus calls us to the kind of mindfulness which will
help us be more fully alive in the passing moments.

Pastor Chris continues the sermon series that began last week with our
friends at Good Shepherd NY. We are joining together to reimagine critical

God, and with the world.

July 04, 2021 Good and Faithful
Pastor Sean Palmer examines the faith of Abraham as a model for our lives
of faith. Different than belief or knowledge, faith is the kind of trust
that helps us focus on God through all circumstance, trial, and suffering.

June 27, 2021 The Life You're Made For
Drawing from the Book of Hebrews, Pastor Chris asks us each to seriously
and faithfully consider how God is calling us to live into the fullness of
who God has made us to be. No one has your unique combination of story and
circumstance, talents, passions, and resources. How is God urging you to
trust him in the next step; inviting you to move from belief to action?

June 20, 2021 Rest is a Gift
Pastor Sean Palmer offers an important reminder as we enter into this
Summer season; that rest is not a luxury, but a vital rhythm that grows our
awareness for how much God cares for us. Whatever the coming weeks may hold
for you, how will you commit to receiving this gift which is woven into the
very fabric of creation?

us into practical steps of practicing patience in our relationship with God
and others.

June 06, 2021 You Have To Give It Away
Pastor Sean Palmer offered an important word on the key difference between
greater and lesser goods. The “lesser” good of material blessings is
fleeting; but the “greater” goods of virtue and selflessness actually
increase as they are given away. May Sean’s teaching lead you into
meaningful contemplation in the days ahead.

May 30, 2021 The Voice of Justice
Pastor Chris Seay continues a series of teachings around crucial dimensions
of faith and our call as followers of Jesus as we have returned to regular
rhythms of gathering in person. Today, we look to the teaching of the
Prophet Micah to help us reconnect with God’s call that we a people with
hearts inclined toward justice; which begins with humbly opening our ears
to hear the cries of the oppressed.

May 23, 2021 Twenty Seconds
On this Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Sean continued our conversation about the
dynamics of re-connection during a season in which we have returned to
regularly gathering in-person. The gift of the Holy Spirit confirms our
adoption into the embrace of one covenant family; an echo of God’s
declaration in Genesis that we are not made to be alone.
