On All Saints Sunday we celebrate our loved ones and church members who have died and now live eternally with Christ. We will lift prayers of gratitude with white roses for the saints who have gone before us. Hebrews 12:1-2

In this sermon we turn to one of Scripture’s most haunting questions: “Where is your brother?”

In the story of Cain and Abel, God reveals that faith is not just about belief, but about responsibility, the sacred call to care for one another.

Join us as we explore what it means to live as our brother’s and sister’s keeper in a world that often forgets we belong to each other. [Genesis 4:1-10]

This is a challenging text (Mark 5:1-20) with its graphic imagery and the unsettling depiction of a man possessed by demons. It is crucial for us to study these hard texts as we consider what the Bible says about how Christians should engage with the poor, the marginalized, and the overlooked. Today we will see the beautiful way that Jesus restored this man’s dignity.

The Bible calls us to love God and to see the beloved in all people, with a particular emphasis on caring for the overlooked, or the least among us. How should Christians engage with the overlooked, or those who live on the margins in our city and world? [scripture - John 4]

We begin a new sermon series that explores the Bible and how Christians can engage with the issue of poverty. Jesus often talked about being a good neighbor. But more importantly, he demonstrated this in his daily life. This morning, we focus on a story where Jesus exemplifies the kind of neighbor we should be. [scripture - John 6:1-14]
