  • Basic Needs - The Rev. Joyce Keeshin
    "So we don't have to, nor could we possibly, get things
    perfect. We don't have to suppress all those feelings or always be happy with
    what's going on. We have basic needs, and it is absolutely right that we ask
    they be addressed... that we do what's needed to address them. But it's also seen
    that we are all in the midst of our journeys. And, most importantly, God is
    with us. Whatever stage of the journey we're in, God is with us, and God's
    presence is all of the blessing we need."
    Exodus 17:1-7

  • Fighting With God - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "They have no problem quarreling. They have no problem
    arguing. They have no problem belly aching and just giving it up. 'God are you
    just gonna let us starve? God, are you gonna make us thirsty until we die? Is that
    what you're gonna do, God?' You know what God calls that? Faithfulness. Do you
    know what God calls quarreling, and questioning, and challenging, and
    wrestling? Faithfulness. Do you know what he calls you when you are so
    comfortable with God that you are willing to scream, and yell, and shout? He
    calls you a blessing."
    Exodus 17:1-7
    21 min
  • God's Wait Staff - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "There's something powerful about YOU living love into other peoples' lives, and proclaiming blessing
    in peoples' lives, and talking about forgiveness in peoples' lives. Will God
    heal and save these people without you? Sure... But he has hired you for the job
    anyway."
    Exodus 16:2-15
    18 min
  • Debt Free Love - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "When those waters collapse down upon the Egyptians they are
    collapsing down upon all of the things that get in the way of the Israelites knowing
    who their God is, and knowing who they are. God is a God who wipes away
    everything that keeps us from knowing love. God is a God who obliterates all of
    the things that stop us from knowing that our brother, our sister, belongs to
    God. God is a God who washes that away and delivers us into a freedom... a
    freedom from keeping score... a freedom from any kind of debt... The freedom to
    believe that I don't owe you anything and you don't owe me anything, but to
    love one another."
    Exodus 14:19-31
    Matthew 18:21-35

  • God's Mercy - The Rev. Joyce Keeshin
    "So, we do not have to wait for great tragedies. We do not
    have to wait for dramatic events. We do not have to wait for hurricanes, or
    parting of the seas. We have the opportunity in each moment to deal with each
    other with compassion... with mercy. We have in each moment the opportunity to
    express gratitude to God for the mercy we have been given, and to give that
    mercy in return."
    Exodus 14:19-31
    23 min
  • Let Us Keep the Feast - The Rev. Nancy Hopkins-Greene
    "Salvation, liberation... redemption in Christ... is about
    something God does, and we do... God does through us as a people. We keep the
    feast by being aware of God's redemptions for each one of us for us as a people,
    but we also keep the feast by simply keeping the feast... By celebrating the
    Eucharist every week, but also by celebrating with other people; welcoming to
    the table those from whom we differ."
    Exodus 12:1-14
    19 min
  • It's Not About You - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "Any justice that we understand, any way we're going to be participating
    in the way that God makes the world right - it's going to begin with
    relationship. It's going to begin when we're drawn out of ourselves and out of
    the thinking that it's our job to fix... to look at this world, diagnose the problem
    and fix it, and drawn into a reality of participating in the changing of this
    world with others, in love. The good news is, it's not about you. The better
    news is, it's about a God who is with you."
    Exodus 3:1-15
    19 min
  • Drawn Into Life - The Rev. Philip DeVaul
    "God is working like he works in Moses' life and in the life
    of the Israelites, to draw us out of the power of our own selfishness and fear,
    and into a life of generosity and love; to draw us out of our own sense of
    vengeance and anger and contempt and into a life of mercy, and forgiveness, and
    kindness. Draw us out... God draws us out of inhumanity, and looking at other
    people and demonizing them, and draws us into deeper relationship."
    Exodus 1:8-2:10
    20 min
  • Hidden Yesses - The Rev. Nancy Hopkins-Greene
    "I suppose all of us have those times, those occasions, when
    our lives seem to have come to a dead end... or simply a relationship or a job... when
    someone has died, a relationship has ended. When somehow there seems to be one 'no'
    after another. Can we trust that God is behind the scenes? That in that 'no'
    somewhere is hidden a 'yes...' a way forward?"
    Matthew 15: (10-20), 21-28
