Economy, Ecology, Ecumenism: they all come from the same Greek root word, Oikos, which means "household." At root, all of these things are about how we order our lives and our resources in relation to others. What does living in God's household look like? How are we meant to order our lives and our resources?

When we pray, we aren't giving God new information, we are opening ourselves up to the conversation God is already having. To hear what God is saying, we have to trust that God is already working and moving in our lives and world.

This is audio from our in-person All Saints Service, honoring the lives of those who have died in our community in the past year. During the service, we lit candles in their honor, and if you are listening to this at home we invite you to similarly light a candle in honor of your loved ones lost, whether this year or in year's past. Get your candle ready and light it with us as you listen to recognize their life.

Simon Peter is, in back to back stories in the gospels, described both as the rock on which Jesus will build the church and a potential "stumbling block" trying to trip others up. What's the difference between the two? And how do we come to be part of building up the church in our own lives and faiths together?

Throughout history, Christians have had to make intentional, and sometimes sacrificial and even risky decisions to practice their faith in spite of their surrounding cultures. When it comes to the practice of the Sabbath, what will that look like for us today?

This was recorded live at our Beach Service (apologies for the wind noise in the recordings), during which we also did our annual "blessing of the backpacks" to recognize our kids as they head back to school in what will be a very different fall.

Psalm 119:34-40

1 Corinthians 9:24-27: 

“Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one gets the prize? So run in such a way as to win. 25 Athletes practice self-discipline in everything.

They do it to get a crown of leaves that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26

So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as though beating the air; 27 but I work my body and master it, so that after I have preached to others the way to run, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.”
