For freedom Christ has set us free. What does that mean for us? And the way we treat others in this society? Who has the right to make decisions, and is there a difference between the world's freedom and God's?

We struggle sometimes in our era to understand what the Bible means when it talks about "demons".

Why do we sometimes choose those things instead of health and wholeness?

On the last Sunday in Easter, following another school shooting, Marissa begins with the book of Lamentations. How do we respond as Christians to this tragedy?

In this sermon, Meg invites us to think about our Gospel passage through the lens of theologian Stanley Hauerwas. In the midst of broken world, the first task of the church is to be the church --- to show up and love one another as Christ so loves us.

On the third Sunday of Easter, we hear the story about Jesus appearing on the shore to have breakfast with the disciples. He helps them catch a lot of fish and then questions Peter. This story has a specific Easter message for us about faith, grace, and joy.

On the fifth Sunday in Lent, we hear the story of Mary of Bethany anointing the feet of Jesus with an ointment of great price. It's an intimate moment between Mary and Jesus, something special for us to hear and to explore. What does it have to say to us today?

On the Fourth Sunday in Lent, Marissa explores the parable of the Prodigal Son. This parable is full of meaning. Marissa picks just three things to focus on and encourages you to find your own place in the story.
