In our final sermon from this series, we look at Jesus' words, that WE are the light of the world. But if Jesus is the light of the world, how does that work? John Wesley shows us the way: we are the light when we let the light of Jesus shine through us. Matthew 5:13-16.

Change requires us to be flexible, adjusting how we see things. In the story of Elisha widow's oil, we find some clues to how to adjust to change: when we’re in trouble, seek God 1st, reach out to others, and when we get stuck, we have more than enough. 2 Kings 4:1-7

Quarks and atomic particles might make up the physical realm of the universe, but the incarnate Word of God creates a universe rooted in Love. It is one thing to ascend to the incarnation and its theology, but it is another thing to live an incarnational life. John 1:1-5

"What the heart wants, the eye seeks." When Jesus speaks of the eye as being the lamp fo the body, he is talking about our active eye, looking at a broken world, and seeking peace, justice, and love. Luke 11:33-36

David was able to defeat the giant Goliath with the skills of a shepherd and the strength of God. How might we use our skills and God's strength to tackle the ever-present giant of systemic racism? 1 Samuel 17.

Two of our youth share how God has been in their lives and guided them through difficult times.

John 3:16 may be the most famous verse in the Bible, but is it about belief and going to heaven? Or is it about how the light of Jesus IS the judgment of God, how that light shines on our world and reveals all that is dark and in need of love and grace. John 3:16-21

Just as the ancient Israelites longed for a past of predictability, we want to be in those days of attending baseball games, dining out, and "going" to church picnics. Change is inevitable, and change gives us the chance to do things differently, maybe even better. Exodus 14-16, excerpts.

In this last sermon of this series, we explore the almost reckless faith and hope of Jeremiah, who buys a plot of land that is under enemy control just days before the certain defeat of Israel. Hope can seem illogical, even audacious, but hope in God is rooted in God's faithfulness. Jeremiah 32.

This sermon series will focus on how we can use this time of social distancing not as time that must be endured but as a chance for change. We begin by looking at the story of Abram and Sarai, where God takes unlikely candidates and uses them the change the world. Genesis 12:1-4, 15:1-6
