Rolling out “Reel Faith”Sermon Series on July 28
The best movies touch us at deep places in our lives, and on a host of topics like forgiveness, relationships, justice, and love.
Walking the Tightrope
Take one step on the tightrope. Careful. Balance. Breathe. Take another. Yes, it is that season again. Presidential debates, political rallies, partisan conventions and extra large yard signs all remind us that the season of the fall election is already upon us.
Love Always Wins
The Kleenex was for Jordan. Or maybe Peter. I always tuck in a few Kleenex or a lace hanky just inside the pocket of my wedding book so that if the bride or groom begin to drip tears during the vows, I can quietly slip them a tissue.
Summer Pop-Up Series Continues to Be a Hit!

HOW TO READ A PARABLE
Many of you already know that we began a brief sermon series last Sunday, one we’re calling “Three Sermons, One Text.” For three weeks in a row, the scripture passage comes from Luke 10:25-37, the well-known parable about a man jumped by thieves while traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho.
One Text, Three Sermons.

God’s Claim
This week our brothers and sisters in Christ who are Southern Baptist debated yet again if women would be called as pastors and elders.

NEW SERMON SERIES “TRAVELING WITH JONAH”

Love Wins
This morning some are rejoicing, and some are lamenting a jury’s verdict. But on Sunday we gather at a table with those who disagree with us to break bread together.
In the Midst of Friends
When I arrived at Yale Divinity School the famous author and Catholic priest Henri Nouwen had retired from teaching and moved north to a different ministry context. However one of the staff members at the Divinity School still managed Father Nouwen’s finances.
The Ordinary
A return to the rhythm of the ordinary sometimes feels sacred. Whether the extraordinary event feels joyful like a wedding or burdensome like a pandemic, our energy shifts to accomplishing this feat.
