We continue our sermon series, Created for Community. Pastor Earl’s message, “Birds of One Spirit Flock Together,” will reflect on Paul’s famous metaphor of the body and its members (1 Corinthians 12:12–26), exploring what it means to be a Christian community and what makes it special in today’s world.

Pastor Teresa’s sermon title “This is My Thing!” is inspired by a program by the same name on KUT News where community members share the hobbies and talents that bring them joy. The sermon text is the Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25:14-30 and will be shared in a creative way by Melissa Wiginton.

This week, Pastor Earl’s sermon will take on the Christian cliché, “God never closes a door without opening a window.” Our scripture reading will be the well-known story of “Doubting Thomas,” and together we will reflect on how this passage offers a deeper, more relational vision of how God is present with us—one that may challenge the implication of God behind the cliché.
