Salt House - Sermons

In our new fall series "Chunk of Change" we hear Jesus' invitation to see change not only as something that happens externally around us - like changes in our jobs, relationships, health, country, home - but to see part of the point of it all as the constant change in us. Mind, heart, soul change, at that. This Sunday, we explore how we are changed in how we hear God in reading Scripture; we'll engage the ancient practice of Lectio Divina, together.

We kick off our fall season and fall sermon series, "Chunk of Change." This weeks message is a foundational conversation setting us up for the weeks ahead with tools to intentionally enter into seasons of change (and the process of being changed).

Summer and our series on "Love Story" draw to a close with an exclamation point as we discover together why Jesus used stories (parables), how he used them, and why they matter now.

Our Love Story summer series culminates with our people at Salt House sharing a portion of their stories. We've got an open mic style sermon this week where folks from Salt House shared about the people who have had impact on their own stories. Good stuff.

Sean and Jenny Boyer share their story of fostering and adopting two of their sons.

Pastor Sara is back this Sunday to continue our conversation on Love Story - a theme woven throughout her three-month sabbatical. Be there: to hear a fresh invitation to own your story within the larger story of God.

We welcome Pastor Terry Kyllo to Salt House! Who has recently started a non-profit called Neighbors in Faith. He and others are working to build relationships between Christians and Muslims, both individuals and communities. We'll get to hear a bit of his story of feeling called into this work, and an invitation to build diverse relationships in our own lives.

Dani Dodge is an artist. That's just the short story. As we all face many transitions throughout our life, transitions seem to be the one constant. Dani shares her story and describes some of the transitions in her life that led her to where she is right now, working as a full time artist. Join us for a story and stay for the art.

Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice - and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.

Psalm 136 tells the story of creation and the story of Israel by repeating a refrain after every single event: "for God's steadfast love endures forever." Catch that? After ever. Single. Event. What does it look like for us to view our lives and world through the lens of God's steadfast love? How do we see that love in us, for us, and through us in hard times? In confusing times? In joyful times? In in-between times? Join us this week as we ask those questions together.
