Pastor Jon responds to questions following Sunday's sermon.

Fifty days after Passover, God's Holy Spirit fell on Jesus' disciples and energized them to go into all the world. Can we experience that same energy today?

Pastor Jon fields questions at the end of Sunday's sermon.

As we try to make sense of the universe, many of us experience the pull of opposing views: scientism on the one hand and superstition on the other. What do we do when neither offers a fully coherent explanation of life?

Joanne Dietzel, Conference Minister for Atlantic Coast Conference, explores the centrality of forgiveness to our shared life of faith.

What if the work of God is more subtle and more ordinary than we've been led to believe?

Many social forces drive our sense of isolation, but an internal sense of shame—feeling that our shortcomings or mistakes or differences makes us unworthy of love an acceptance—can also contribute to loneliness. Drawing from the story of the Prodigal Son, Nina Harnish explores how God can transform our shame and bring us closer together.

When building our social circles, most of us tend to gravitate toward people who remind us of, well... us. The Biblical model is dramatically different, challenging us to embrace our common humanity across differences.

According to journalist Brigid Schulte, "people say they’re too busy to make friends outside the office, too busy to date, too busy to sleep, and too busy to have sex." What if our relentless busyness isn't a badge of honor, but a disease that prevents us from forging meaningful connections with one another?

Loneliness is as bad for your health as smoking fifteen cigarettes a day—yet rates of loneliness in Western societies continue to increase. Pastor Jon explores the macro-level forces driving us apart, and points to the relational character of God to find hope in the midst of a lonely world.
