Sometimes we think that "it" will never happen to us. But as much as we might try, we cannot control everything. What we can control is what we sow. Will we sow peace? Will we do the hard work of turning swords into plowshares? Listen to Rev. Adam Fronczek and a surprise guest preacher as they explore how, together, we can make peace more possible and why we must stay committed to doing good.

What happens when Sabbath rest gets interrupted by something really important? In this sermon, we close our Sabbath series with the Parable of the Good Samaritan and discover that true rest isn't just about slowing down. It's about being present enough to actually see the people around us. Check it out as we explore what it looks like to love God, love neighbor, and still make space for both. Please read through Luke 10:25-37 and join us!

Did you know parables are everywhere, not just in scripture? A parable is a short, simple story that has a moral or spiritual lesson. A great example of a parable in popular literature can be found in a courtroom scene from Harper Lee's classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Tune in as Rev. Dr. Amy Snow digs into the "Parable of Atticus in the Court."

Rules and guides can sometimes feel restrictive. However, freedom requires wise counsel. We need some sort of roadmap to help us find our way to the kind of Freedom that benefits everyone, not just ourselves. Sabbath can help us find that way. Read through Isaiah 58:6-14 and check out what Adam has to say about it!

When profit becomes all-consuming, even rest gets sacrificed. In this sermon, Adam explores Amos's critique of endless greed as he rediscovers God's call to Sabbath and God's promise of restoration and justice for all. Please read through Amos 8:4-6; 9:13-15 and give it a listen.

This is a conversation that Rev. Dr. Amy Snow had with MaryAnn McKibben Dana about Sabbath and her book "Sabbath in the Suburbs: A Family's Experiment with Holy Time"

Listen to the conversation and let us know what you think!

To rest is to refuse the world’s enticement of endless production. Sabbath sits at the heart of the Ten Commandments as a bridge. It connects our love for God to our love for neighbor. In a world that never stops, choosing to rest is resistance and might just be the most countercultural thing we do this week. Listen to Adam explore this concept now.
