  • Holy Humanity - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "Sometimes we hear people say 'Oh, they're just human. They're
    only human. We're only human.' Jesus shuns that thinking. For Jesus humanity is
    not something that we need to rise above or get rid of. For Jesus our humanity
    is a gift. It is our humanity that connects us with one another - that connects
    us to the God that made us. It is our humanity that Jesus gives back to us. It
    is our humanity that we are being begged to recognize in one another."
    1 Corinthians 8:1-13
    Mark 1:21-28

  • The Dance of Discipleship - The Rev. Nancy Hopkins-Greene
    "There probably are times when we simply don't hear the call.
    And, it could be that sometimes we are so busy with other things, and that's
    where we need a silent time, not just on Sunday mornings but throughout our
    lives and our days and our weeks. The moment of taking a deep breath, reminding
    ourselves of God's presence so that we will choose right action... so that we
    will hear the urgency of the gospel, but listen for exactly how God wants us to
    fill our days. It is a dance."
    1 Corinthians 7:29-31
    Mark 1:14-20
    15 min
  • God's Greatest Work - The Rev. Mitchell Bojarski
    "TV wants you to believe that we're getting more and more
    divided, and bitter, and angry. And, social media seems really content to
    facilitate that. But, God is doing a bigger, greater work. God is turning our
    hearts toward the people we disagree with... toward the people that we think hate
    us... the people who, if we're being honest, we kind of hate. God is turning
    hearts to each other, so we can see each other in love and mercy, instead of in
    battle, and fighting and bickering, and issues."
    Jonah 3:1-5, 10
    18 min
  • Fully Known, Fully Loved - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "Before you think about how youre supposed to treat other
    people stop for a moment and recognize that you are fearfully and wonderfully
    made by the God of all creation. You! You, sitting here right now, as you are,
    God knows you... knows you! And looks at you with love and acceptance for where
    you are and who you are."
    John 1:43-51
    21 min
  • Loved for What - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "You are loved. What are you gonna do with that love? That's
    the question for today. The question for today is what happens to that love
    that belongs to you? Will you hoard it? Will you hide it? Will you sit and let
    it just stew? If you're going to accept the love of God that is in Jesus Christ
    will you accept that that love is meant to send you out into this world to spread
    it... to spread love and peace... to be a blesser, to be a healer, and a teacher,
    and a lover in this world."
    Mark 1:4-11
    15 min
  • Moments of the Spirit - The Rev. Joyce Keeshin
    "There are also the subtler moments... the nudge, a dream
    begging attention, an awareness, an experience of feeling called to do
    something different in our lives, something new, or to deepen our involvement in
    something old. The challenge for us is to notice these moments. To savor them.
    To allow them to guide us in new ways to new beginnings in our own lives."

    Genesis 1:1-5
    Mark 1:4-11
    15 min
  • More Than Words - The Rev. Nancy Hopkins-Greene
    "But we need to remember that it's about more. It's about more than a birth way back then, but
    a birth... a stirring... an enfleshment of a word... an active word: the word of
    creation, the word of order, of love and relationship between people and
    between people and their God. And that word is alive and active in this world."
    John 1:1-18
    17 min
  • Miracles Still Happen - The Rev. Joyce Keeshin
    "Whatever our circumstance let us keep our eyes open to God
    in our midst... to the miracles that are still open to us. Let us keep alert to
    miracles whether we find them in gatherings, in strangers' voices, at a zoo celebrating
    a hippo, in a recovery center of young moms and children, in a manger in swaths
    of cloth."
    Luke 2:1-14(15-20)
    20 min
  • O Little Town of Everywhere - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "God is born into this world to a bunch of nobodies in a
    nobody place in a manger. God is born in this world right now to you, to me, to
    us. If in Bethlehem, there, then, here, now God is. There is just as much need
    now, as ever there was, for love to be born into this world and to redeem it
    and to change it and to bring us closer to who we are meant to be. To bring us
    closer to one another. To bring us closer to the God of Love. There is more
    need now than ever for us to recognize love's presence in this world. There is
    more need now than ever for us to recognize God working, being born everywhere
    we look."
    Luke 2:1-14(15-20)
    19 min
  • A Prophet Like Mary - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "The thing about prophets is not that God speaks to them, it's
    that they recognize God's voice when God speaks. The thing about prophets is
    not that they make God show up, it's that when God shows up they recognize it.
    The thing about prophets is not that they make more love happen, it's that they
    know love when they see it. God does not place these prophets... Mary, Jeremiah, Isaiah...
    into our lives so that we can say, "Look at them, they sure know a lot." God
    places prophets in our lives so that we can see how God speaks to and through
    us as well."
    Luke 1:26-38
