In this week's sermon, Paula Williams teaches us that the kingdom of God is a dragnet that pulls up everything, our strengths and weakness, hopes and fears, joys and sorrows.  Jesus is the one who helps us sort through the junk and heal the open wounds.

In today's sermon, John will talk about how the Kingdom of God is, first and foremost, a reality to be experienced.  It's not a conquering hero defeating his enemies. It's more subversive than that --- it's slowing down and listening with new ears, or seeing with new eyes.

In today's sermon, our co-pastor Paula Williams continues our new sermon series, Unlocking Parables.

This week's sermon is the first sermon in our new sermon series, Unlocking Parables.  In today's sermon, our co-pastor John Gaddis turns the parable of talents on its head and believes that the true message of the parable is to participate in the absurd, over-the-top abundant grace of Jesus.

This episode features our Easter Sunday sermon by our co-pastors Paula Williams and John Gaddis. In this special sermon, we look at this past year and the the darkness of pandemic we have each experienced. We ask ourselves: Does death have the last word? Even in the depth of our losses, death is not the end of the story. Resurrection, though, says the last word hasn’t been spoken.

This episode features a Palm Sunday sermon by our co-pastor Kristie Sykes entitled "It's all about the Palms & the Passion". In this sermon, we explore that idea that there is no quick or easy resolution to the palms and the passion. There is only the tension of the day. It’s a difficult place to be. The palms and the passion together are the reality of our world, the reality of our lives.

God says “love your neighbor.” Over and again, we choose loving power instead.  Why?  Well, the line between good and evil runs straight through the center of the human heart.  Because of that unfortunate reality, we need continuing reminders that power corrupts, and love wins.

John concludes our Exodus and Exile sermon series by focusing on the universalities of the Babylonian Exile, and the pain of singing without joy.

In today's message, we continue our sermon series on Exodus & Exile with a sermon from our co-pastor, Paula Williams.

As humans in groups, our tendency is to take care of our own and create enemies of everyone else.  God instructed Israel to love its neighbors.  Israel had a hard time taking in that message.  Jesus brought it home even more.  But still today, we have a hard time loving God, loving our neighbors, and loving ourselves.  Yet, it is the hope of our species.
