Whenever we come to scripture we often notice certain cracks in the words written. While some attempt to handwave these away, using creating methods of interpretation to ignore them; it is perhaps the more faithful and honest option to grapple with them and consider their implications.

What do we do when Scripture tells us that Moses both did and did not see the face of God... in the same chapter? Find out in this sermon.

In this sermon, Pastor Corey compares the story of the golden calf with the real-life story of the town of Covert. This community set out to defy the powers of racism and white supremacy decades before such things were even commonly expected. What can we learn from such examples today?

Undeniably there are parts of Scripture that are ugly. That appears to our modern sensibilities as problematic and even outright hateful. But when we consider how many of these books and documents were written by people in the midst of oppression they suddenly make more sense. How do we read the story of the Red Sea and be reminded that more often then not, we are the Egyptians, not the Israelites?

Oppression harms everyone, oppressed and oppressor alike. In this sermon, Pastor Corey delves into the damage Egypt was doing not only to the people of Israel but themselves. What does it mean to be called from a place? What does it mean to return to certain danger? What does it mean to proclaim, "let my people go"?

Joseph was the worst sort of brother, snobby, self-centered, and certain of his own superiority. Is it any wonder his brothers hated him? All throughout Genesis we see this pattern of brother hating brother and the problems that emerge. Jealousy is a cancer that destroys everyone it touches and when favoritism is shown it breeds resentment. It is only when we put aside favoritism and work to ensure the well-being of all that we can truly work toward the Beloved Community of God.

In this sermon, we begin with the American Dream Dusty Rhodes and the World Heavyweight Championship match of 1986. From here we tie in the story of Jacob wrestling with God and wonder what it means for us. What does it mean to doubt or wrestle with God in our own lives?

In this sermon on the parable of the shrewd manager from Luke 16, Pastor Corey looks at what forgiveness and grace means and how it is that we should seek to be forgiving and grace-filled in all that we do. 

In this sermon on the parable of the Lost Sheep from Luke 15, Pastor Corey examines what it means to be the seeker of the lost and what it means to be sought after. 

In this sermon on Luke 14:25-33, Pastor Corey looks at Jesus' teaching on the cost of being a disciple, looking at what it means to hate as it relates to other Scriptures telling us to love. 

In this sermon on Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16, Pastor Corey delves into the nature of what it means to live in community and to share one another's burdens. Drawing from the wisdom of mutual aid, he looks into how it is that we can support one another in ways that are both ancient and modern.
