January 18, 2021 The Choice of Connection
Pastor Chris Seay urges us to consider how the radical transformation of
the Apostle Paul speaks to our role as followers of Christ in a time of
division. Opposing hate is only the beginning. The more challenging work to
which we are called amid the turmoil is choosing connection across places
of disagreement and difference.

January 03, 2021 The Thing That Has To Change Is You
Pastor Sean brings us into the new year reminding us that without our
willingness to change, 2021 won’t bring the changes we desire. Through the
teachings of Jesus in the gospels, Sean shows us how a sober view of
reality, being intentional, and choosing wisdom set us up to be people able
to be changed.

December 27, 2020 Begin Again, Again
As we continue celebrating the joy of Christmastide, Pastor Mike Yager
offers a message of hope as we look ahead to the new year. The Incarnation
once again reminds us that God keeps his promises, and offers the
invitation to trust anew today; releasing the weight that hinders us from
living fully in the moment to which we have been called, and committing to
do so in community.

December 17, 2020 A Thrill of Hope: Awesome
“Til he appeared, and the soul felt its worth…” When we think about the
incarnation, are we struck by the same sense of awe that meets us in the
presence of natural grandeur? God’s loving act of drawing near to us is as
intimate as it is cosmic.

December 10, 2020 A Thrill of Hope: Flesh and Bone
You've heard it so many times you've probably forgotten, but Jesus arrives
in the strangest package, flesh and bone, skin and blood. But what on earth
does that mean? Why does it matter that Jesus is human? And don't we need
God to be more than that?

December 07, 2020 Advent Week Two: The Baby and The Dragon
Pastor Sean Palmer invites us to remember what the apocalyptic vision of
Revelation tells us about the world into which Jesus is born. When we
neglect to see Christmas as the hopeful scene of a cosmic battle, it
becomes easy to instead focus upon the sanitized and distorted version
offered by a culture of accumulation and consumption.

December 03, 2020 A Thrill of Hope: A Weary Mom Rejoices
Welcome back to “A Thrill of Hope,” a podcast and simultaneously an
invitation — an invitation to slow down, remembering all that is true of
Christ: who He was and is, His coming, His kingdom, and His love.
In this second installment, Julie Ramos confronts the sense of weariness
she and many others have felt this year, as she reminds us of the promises
of God fulfilled in Jesus’ coming and in our daily lives. She invites us to
move, and to recognize the movement of God in our midst that restores our
hope and leads us to rejoice.
