On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus offered His disciples—and all of us—a stunning promise: “I will not leave you orphaned.” In this sermon, the Rev. Dr. Leigh Spruill reflects on John 14 and the intimate care of Christ, who sends the Holy Spirit to be our Counselor, Comforter, and constant presence. Through vivid personal stories and biblical insight, hear how the Spirit brings truth, peace, and belonging—even in a disoriented world. Whether you're seeking clarity or comfort, this message is a reminder that you are never alone.

On this Memorial Day weekend, we honor those who gave their lives for our freedom—and we turn to the One who gave His life to set us free forever. The Rev. Reagan Cocke reflects on Jesus' promise to make His home with us and send the Holy Spirit as our constant Helper and Advocate. Drawing from personal testimony and John 14, he reminds us that we are never alone—Christ is with us in our struggles, our service, and our suffering. Even now, in the space between D-Day and VE Day, between the Cross and Christ’s return, we live with the assurance of victory and the peace that the world cannot give.

On the night of his betrayal, Jesus gives his disciples one final command: love one another. In this sermon, Dr. Kira Moolman Pettit explores what it means to follow that command in a world full of pain, weakness, and betrayal. Through the image of a stripped altar and a Savior who shared our vulnerability, we're reminded that Jesus doesn’t ask us to love blindly— he asks us to love as he loved, from the depths of sacrifice.

Whether you’re carrying grief, doubt, or the weight of loving others, this message invites you to see that Jesus is not far off. He’s with you at the kitchen table, in the hospital room, in every tender and painful place. And in him, even suffering can become glory.

What if heaven wasn’t just something we hope for—but something we live for?

While we believe in heaven, one wonders why the revelation God gives us in Scripture does not animate us now as a present power more than simply as a vague future promise. Oh, how our Lord would love to fill us with his Spirit to sense heaven touching down in advance all around us, enlivening us as people of hope and assurance.

Jesus doesn't just give us answers—He gives us Himself. This sermon reflects on our deep need for clarity and how true understanding of Jesus comes not through facts alone, but through daily experience, trust, and action. Like sheep who know their shepherd’s voice, we are invited to follow, not as armchair explorers, but as those who walk with the Good Shepherd each day.

On this Good Shepherd Sunday, we reflect on the comforting truth that we are held in the loving, strong hands of God—hands that create, protect, guide, and never let go. No matter where we are or what we face, nothing can snatch us from His grasp.

Easter is not a one-time event; it is something that keeps happening. When Peter returns to fishing—lost, empty, and searching—Jesus meets him right where he is. Through empty nets, a charcoal fire, and a quiet meal, Christ brings healing, restoration, and a renewed call to love. Wherever you are—wrestling, weary, or weighed down—this story reminds us: Jesus shows up. Not to shame, but to restore. Not to condemn, but to call us forward in love.

Ever felt like you've let God down—or like you're just not quite "spiritual enough"? In this sermon, we hear the good news of resurrection life through three simple truths: Jesus finds us where we are, Jesus calls us to follow him, and Jesus forgives us. Wherever you are in life, this is a reminder that Christ is already there—calling you by name and inviting you into grace.

Even when we are locked away by fear, shame, or doubt, the risen Jesus shows up. If we are small, he becomes small. If we doubt, he comes to those doubts. If we are wounded, he shows us his own wounds. In this sermon, we reflect on how Christ meets us right where we are — offering peace, healing, and hope. He is risen — and he is risen for you.

On the night of his resurrection, Jesus speaks the words we all long to hear: "Peace be with you." In this farewell sermon, our seminarian, the Rev. Caroline Devitt, reflects on Christ's unstoppable love—the love that walks through locked doors, carries our wounds, and calls us into new life. As we celebrate baptisms and resurrection hope, we are invited to believe again, to wonder again, and to live in the peace that can never be taken away.
