"It was not good for the man to be alone." How is that creation, the garden and God's presence wasn't enough for the 'Adam to flourish? What does Genesis 2 reveal about our need for human relationships? Does the Bible say that men should have authority over women? These are some of the questions Pastor Bill explores as he continues to unpack our "origin story."

Who are Adam and Eve? Are they historical people? Was Adam really made from the dust of the ground? What's up with the two trees in the garden? What does this ancient story say to us today? Pastor Bill wrestles with these questions and others in this sermon on the first half of Genesis 2.

Do science and faith contradict each other? Do we have to choose between taking science seriously and taking the Bible seriously? Pastor Bill explores these questions and offers a biblical framework for understanding the relationship between science and faith.

Genesis 1:1-2:3 is a Temple story. Pastor Bill explains how this text was written to comfort and guide God's people in exile, and how it speaks to us today.

Genesis 1:26-31 is one of the most revolutionary passages of writing in the history of the world. It offers totally unique answers to the questions,What does it mean to be human? What makes us unique? And why are we here?

Genesis 1 has been the subject of much debate for hundreds of years, causing, for many, a rift between science and faith. Could that be because we're reading it wrong? In this sermon, Pastor Bill challenges us to read the text through an ancient lens so that we can hear it as Ancient Israel would have heard it.  

The opening pages of the Bible (Genesis 1-3) are weird and wondrous. They also speak to some of our most foundational and urgent questions. In this primer, Pastor Bill offers an "orientation" to these chapters, and prepares us for the road ahead.

Do you feel politically homeless? Maybe that's not such a bad thing. In this final sermon in the series, Pastor Bill talks about the call to be politically homeless, and the benefits of being politically homeless. And gives four biblical charges for following Jesus in an election season.

65% of Americans are exhausted by politics. There seems to be a dearth of hope in our public lives.  In this sermon, Pastor Bill traces the theme of hope in the final days of Jesus' life as he accompanies and prepares the disciples for His death. Along the way, he explores the relationship between hope, community and justice, and a unique gift that we, the church, can offer the world.

Humility is in short supply in our political discourse. In this sermon, Pastor Bill contrasts "the partisan mind" with the Mind of Christ and explores how Christians can engage in civic life with greater humility.
