This week of Thanksgiving Rev. Ben Hadley-Goggin reflects on gratitude from Richmond Hill”s vegetable garden. He Interweaves the Gospels, Paul’s epistle (1 Thes. 5), and the life of 17th-century pastor Martin Rinkart to show how we benefit by finding reasons to be grateful.

While half of American voters celebrated the result of last week’s presidential election; the other half were upset, in denial, and/or fearful. Min. Anthony Gaboton looks to the Prophet Amos to present a balanced approach to these divided times.

Rev. Dr. Lisa Johnson looks to Psalm 51:10 ("Create in me a clean heart...") to explore the places in our lives that are causing our heart to be out of alignment with the will of God.

During this Election Day, Rev. Joel Blunk looks to the 'Beatitudes' in his sermon, "God's Great Turning." In trying times, as in all times, he encourages us to trust in the promise of God's blessing.

With a week to go until the elections, we continue our series on "Staying Faithful". Min. Anthony Gaboton Jr. looks to the wisdom book of Ecclesiastes to gain insight from divinity in such unsteady times.

In reading Jesus' call to "Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperors, and to God the things that are God's," Associate Pastor for Development Lindsey Franklin finds some wisdom in how to stay focused on what matters in a time of distraction and injustice.

During these difficult times the perseverance of the human spirit is vital. Rev. Dr. Lisa Johnson juxtaposes St. Paul's letter to the Phillipians with the story of 1992 Olympic track star, Derick Redmond and his father, as a model for "continuing to run the race" in spite of the obstacles we face.

Rev. Joel Blunk presents the basis of ‘The Parable of the Tenants’ as loving your neighbor, which is simple yet very challenging. We are challenged to place our egos aside to do the challenging work of justice and God’s righteousness.

DeBorah Cannady, Richmond Hill Ministries Coordinator, shares how the classic tale of “The Good Samaritan” is so relevant for these challenging and distressing times. She reminds of us to not forget about our neighbors, but also finding ways to show care towards them.

Associate Pastor Lindsey Franklin explores truth-telling as a part of healing our city. She takes inspiration from Jesus' parable of the laborers in the field in seeking God's kingdom, here on earth.
