St. Paul Podcast

We welcome back the Chorale. A first-grader leads the Lord's Prayer. Familiar faces help with the children's message from the Book Corner. Peter Marty preaches. 

Hayden Kvamme preaches, and we welcome a special guest to read the text for today. "Nothing, in fact, in your life or in my life, can keep us from being brought into this orbit of God’s love. And as God pulls us into the orbital rhythm around Jesus, around the love of God, we give thanks."

Pastor Sara Olson-Smith preaches. "Many of us, in many times in our lives, have found ourselves running and running in order to gain the acceptance of others, to earn the love of others, to find belonging in places."

Peter A. Pettit preaches. Katy Warren helps Hayden Kvamme get a megaphone working during the children's message. "When we come together, we can make things work so much better."

Peter Marty preaches on Matthew 20:1-16. "In this world of envy, or flashes of envy, if that's your particular affliction, may our gracious and generous God fill us with everything we need. Amen."

"You are a child of God, wholly and dearly loved. Jesus loves you and so do I."

Pastor Hayden Kvamme preaches on a challenging passage in Matthew about pointing out fault. Chris Nelson and Bill Campbell play gorgeous pieces to begin and end worship. "May you know that you are wholly and dearly loved. May God bless you with forgiveness and mercy. May God’s spirit free you up for joyful life in community."

Sara Olson-Smith preaches. The choir directors, Chris Nelson, and the Open Spirit Ensemble lead in song. "As you follow Jesus, choosing the hard stuff and taking up your cross, know that you are held forever in the love and the power and the grace of God."

Peter Marty preaches, and Katy Warren heads to the pool for the children's message. "So for the week ahead, be blessed with the comforting knowledge that God wants to work on you from the inside out, not just with your heart, but also with your mind."

Pastor Peter A. Pettit preaches. Peter Marty is joined by Jen, Kaleb, Cayleigh, and Killian Cobb for the children's message. "May your roots be deeply planted in the gospel, your sap enriched by the word of grace, your leaves enlivened by the spirit of God, and your branches responsive to the winds of change, that they may offer shelter and shade to all among whom God has planted you."
