October 23, 2017 Bishop Karen — To Love Like Jesus

Bishop Karen Oliveto was at Hilltop for the Rocky Mountain Conference United Methodist Women, and we ask her to stay over an extra day, and she graciously consented. This sermon is drawn from John 15 and the command to love each other. Let me know if you have trouble with hearing Bishop Karen uses a wide range of vocal dynamics, and parts may need a little bit of an electronic boost in Garage Band, which is what I use to create this.

We also sang after the Sermon -- "Draw the Circle Wide" -- which is what Bishop Karen is addressing in her benediction.

October 16, 2017 Narrative Lectionary — Lord, your servant is Listening!

This is drawn from 1 Samuel 3: 1-11, and I address brefly the context of the passage at the beginning of the reading.

Samuel is being advised to "listen" ... and Eli tells him to communicate to God that Samuel is actively listening for God to speak. That constitutes the core of the reflection/message.

September 04, 2017 Communion Sunday — September 3, 2017
First Sunday back after nine weeks gone. The sermon was from 1 Corinthians 11: 24-27 or so and focused on the "big idea" of communion itself. Take, bless, break, give. This is also the Sunday where Eugene Peterson (of The Message) meets Ned Flanders (of The Simpsons). Little longer than I meant for it to be -- was shooting for more like ten to twelve minutes, but ... it takes a while to get the pace and feel back, right? At least that is the story and I am sticking to it!
