Salt House - Sermons

We waited through Advent, but what did we wait for? What’s different on this side of Christmas? This Epiphany Sunday, we will look at the story of the Magi bringing gifts to the baby Jesus. We’ll talk about tales of stars, dreams, adventures, and wisdom. And Intern Pastor Zach will consider what this epic chapter in the story of God might mean for our stories.

Come Sunday, we will have made it into 2022! And it will still be Christmastide, making it the perfect moment for us to stop, wonder, and experience our God-with-us, come-in-the-flesh, by slowing down for some tender time to be with our bodies as the place where God dwells with us. Join us Sunday as Pastor Sara leads us into an embodied time of hope, rest and renewal.

Christmas Eve at Salt House.

WATCH THE 2020 SALT HOUSE NATIVITY! Our theme of RISKING ADVENT invites us to stick our necks out and risk a bit of vulnerability during this season of waiting. For the final Sunday of Advent, we risk joy. Especially in this prolonged season of pandemic, joy seems elusive, and not worth the risk! But how does the story of God invite us into joy - especially now?

As we continue our sermon series on the Risk of Advent, Intern Pastor Zach will be exploring the Risk of Love. We’ll look at what the Hebrew Scriptures say about love, and how Jesus modeled this in his life to consider how we can better love God and those around us this season.

Our theme of RISKING ADVENT invites us to stick our necks out and risk a bit of vulnerability during this season of waiting. We consider the the biblical words and experiences of hope, peace, love and joy - exploring how the risk of living this wild and precious life is well worth it. This Sunday, we consider the risk of peace. See you Sunday!

At a time such as this, our global experience is one of despair, isolation and disorientation - it feels vulnerable to risk being humans who feel and experience life deeply. Which is why this Sunday we begin our Advent journey, which will take up through the biblical words and experiences of hope, peace, love and joy - exploring how the risk of living this wild and precious life is well worth it.

These final Sundays of our fall series, we're bringing together the two hands of prayer - Grief and Gratitude - as we prepare ourselves for the holiday season in such a time as this. This Sunday we land firmly in the grip of grace and gratitude, leading us toward the Thanksgiving holiday.

We're bringing together the two hands of prayer - Grief and Gratitude - as we prepare ourselves for the holiday season in such a time as this. This Sunday we'll open up scripture and tend to the layers of grief and difficult emotion that have built up over the last 22 months, and find practical ways to be emotionally intelligent and present through the festive weeks to come.

Every culture and every person deals with the reality of death differently. One hidden gem in the Christian tradition is the celebration called All Saints, which gives us a container for our grief and gratitude and a vision for continued connection to our dearly departed.
