Lay Speaker Terri Heavener discusses the importance of nurturing our spiritual gifts by attending to the spiritual disciplines that keep us in touch with the God.

The youth of Redmond United Methodist Church took over worship duties on Mother's Day, including the role of 'preacher.' Peter and Kaleb discuss the role of mother of society and in their lives. Focusing on their own mothers, they share how the traditional model is both valuable and limiting and discuss the essential quality.

The United Methodist Church recently held its General Conference; a meeting that occurs every four years where Methodists from around the globe meet to set policy and vision. Pastor Cara offers her thoughts of lament on the missed opportunity, from her perspective, to be a church that is honest about itself and enraptured by God's love for all.

Discipleship isn't something that just happens. We need to invest by spending time learning and by doing.

The story of the empty tomb in the Gospel of Mark can be perplexing. Life is also filled with similarly confusing moments. In this week's sermon Pastor Cara explores how these moments can remind us of our call to lives filled with adventure.

Just as most people today live frenetic, fast-paced lives, it is a temptation for most modern Christians to rush right from Palm Sunday straight to Easter. Pastor Cara encourages us to pause for a bit so we can notice the world around us, the good, the bad, and the holy.

In the Garden of Gethsemene Jesus prayed to be faithful to God's will. We often overlook the authenticity of this prayer as we know the end of the story. Pastor Cara explores the evening and a similar moment in the life of a more contemporary saint.

Pastor Cara discusses the story of the woman who annointed Jesus despite the protests of the other disciples. Was this woman crazy or foolish, or did she understand and listen in a way the other's hadn't. In our lives, what are the things we miss because our focus is off?

This Sunday, Pastor Cara focuses on the Tuesday of the Markan Holy Week. In the Gospel reading, Jesus meets with the Pharisees who try to trap him with a question. The real question, however, is what is in their, and our, pocket?

Pastor Cara explores the meaning behind Jesus cursing the fig tree and his actions in the temple. Through the sermon we explores what this means for disciples today with consideration to worship and justice.
