We ask questions of discernment about how we spend our time--so that rest can actually happen!

Why does Jesus have to tell his disciples to rest twice? Turns out the real world is good at interrupting.

This is the first sermon for Ormewood Church as we switched to weekly worship in October of 2017. We started with a five Sunday sermon series on Sabbath and Rest. Revisit what (unfortunately) still needs to be said: rest is not weakness, a mistake, or a misstep. It's built into our DNA as images of God. 

This is the first Sunday of three where we'll look at the blessing of rest. This week we particularly look at its healing nature as we grapple with grief on All Saints Sunday. 

With some help from Anne Lamott, Rev. Jenelle takes the leap from perfection to mercy as the prerequisite for church. 

No man is an island. Even Jesus. 

We get some help from Julia Cameron's book The Artist's Way in this episode!

Our imaginations help us bridge the gap between the difficult and the everyday. 

We explore the power of stories and their ability to "teach" us through indirectness, surprise, and everyday life.
