Today's message is a weaving of three of the lectionary passages with focus on 1 Corinthians 12, yes, I (John) am proud that I was able to use almost all of today's lectionary passages and keep the sermon in a semi-reasonable time! visit pghopendoor.net to get info on joining us in person or on Zoom.

John shares a message on James 1 in which James promises that God's gifts are for God's people, even in troubled times... and a lot more. It was our first week in our new space at The Neighborhood Academy too! Come worship with us Sundays at 10:10am, check our website for info. The Open Door Presbyterian Church.

Sermon recorded at Garfield Community Farm given by Rev. Cheryl Khyllep.

Listen in to Pastor Cheryl's first sermon as our new Co-Pastor! This is the recording from June 27th at Garfield Community Farm where we worship each Sunday during the summer of 2021.

About a month ago we welcomed Wayne Younger to The Open Door's worship on Zoom. Wayne is the executive director of Open Hand Ministries. Open Hand is a mission partner of The Open Door Church. The mission of Open Hand is "Promoting social justice in Pittsburgh’s East End by building a diverse community focused on financial wellness, equity creation, and home ownership."

This is the sermon from Trinity Sunday 2021.

Good Friday led us to Easter which eventually led us to the ascension of Jesus, which then leads us to Pentecost Sunday! Researching, praying through and writing this sermon was such an eye opening experience for me! I hope it will be for you too as you listen in.

What could the ascension of Jesus mean for us today. We often skip right over it and just right into Pentecost.

This is a reboot of the first conversation we ever recorded for the podcast about one year ago for Mother's Day. In this conversation Amber Bahler, Katrina Woodworth, and Lisa Collier join Lauren Burdette and myself as co-hosts to discuss God as our Mother. We reflect on the why this wasn't necessarily how we experienced God in the past and how the motherly attributes of our Creator have enlivened our faith today.
