Who wants to try to make heads or tails of a super complex passage of Scripture? You do? Great! We take up Romans 11:1-33 and try to figure out what in tarnation Paul is saying about the Jews, of which he was one. 

 Today's sermon does deep into the story of a man named Marcion, who came up with a novel way to read the Old Testament that didn't go over too well. And then we see something 180-degrees different from Matthew, which was.

This week, we start to explore what we as Christians do with the Old Testament. And to start, we look at Acts 15 and the raucous council that debated whether or not Gentiles need to be circumcised.

 Happy Easter! Reflect on a new facet of resurrection in our short sermon this week. 

Finally, we reach a (somewhat) happy end to our series on Lamentations. We look at how the author is able to both hold the grief that they have experienced and the hope that God will be doing a new thing.

 This week, we look at a quirk of the book of Lamentations: God is completely silent in the face of that devastation. Come dive into what might be going on here. 

 This week, to understand our reading, we have to take up two ideas, which help us to understand why exactly the book of Lamentations have such disturbing images of God. 

 This  week, we dive deep into the backstory behind Lamentations. It's grim, but it helps to understand so much better what the book of Lamentations actually saying.

This Lent, we explore the book of Lamentations. What is lament? What might it have to tell us? But to start, what is Lent anyways? And why does Lamentations have something to say about it?

 To round off our discussion of fascinating yet obscure women in the Bible, we're looking at the wife of a man called Manoah. She has her stuff together, in contrast to him, and we see that ultimately the angel of God takes her side. Take a listen!
