Salt House - Sermons

It's Trinity Sunday (which may or may not mean much to you). Pastor Sara invites us into the divine nature of relationship -- and what that means in regards to the Black Lives Matter movement and our Covid-19 quarantines. This is good!

Pentecost Sunday, often referred to as the birth of the church. Today, Pastor Ryan invites us into the dynamic, life-giving rhythms of life in the Spirit even as our world seems to be coming apart at the fringes. Special thanks to the leaders, mission developers, pastors, and parishioners of the Pacific Northwest Washington Synod for creating our reading of Acts 2:1-21 today.

Pastor Sara takes us back on the road to Emmaus with Jesus and two travelers – pointing us toward practical ways to find meaning on the other side of death. Plus a song performed by Jason Bendickson and Kris Moor.

Pastor Sara preaches a sermon that will take us on the road to Emmaus with Jesus and two travelers – giving us two practical insights that we can use now in response to our weariness and grief in the midst of this covid-19 season.

Easter! It’s not just a day; it’s a whole season of resurrection, cause let’s face it. We could use it. This Sunday Pastor Ryan jumps into the story of Thomas and the Risen Christ. “Doubting Thomas” gets a bad rap. Tom’s insistence to encounter Jesus in vulnerability, scars and all, is the good news we need to hear today.

Come hear Anne Anderson's story of grief, loss, faith, and hope. Anne serves on our Church Council, leading our Care Ministry Program, and slated to be our next Church Council President. Also, she has raised her family in Salt House’s South Rose Hill Neighborhood and works as a Nurse Care Coordinator for Seattle Children’s Hospital Palliative Care Program. What a voice for us to hear in this global pandemic moment!

We kick off our new Easter Series with one of our core practices: Hearing God. We engage in the ancient practice of Lectio Divina and spend time letting scripture speak into our lives.

Christ is Risen! How does the Resurrection inform what God does with the wilderness of our lives (especially our wilderness now)? We’ll explore and celebrate Resurrection, together.

Palm Sunday at Salt House. Pastor Ryan gives us the rest of the story beyond what we think we know about Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.

For the 5th Sunday of Lent, we welcome Bishop Shelley Wee of the Northwest Washington Synod to preach our culminating message on Jesus' wilderness temptations.
