Fear

Written by Faith2014 on . Posted in Sermons.

Fear can be a powerful motivator. Just ask Colin Sullivan. A character in Martin Scorsese’s, The Departed, Sullivan lives in fear of being found out as a mole and it causes him to do some things he may not otherwise do.

Pastor Kate explores the theme of fear as found in the beginning of the Exodus story, before Moses is even born. The fear of the new king of Egypt as well as the fear the Israelite Midwives had. She in turn thinks about our own fears and what God is up to in their midst.

Accompanying Scripture:
Exodus 1:7-20
Luke 4:18-19

It Doesn’t Matter if Harper Stays or Goes

Written by Faith2014 on . Posted in Sermons.

Bryce Harper, the young superstar right fielder for the Washington Nationals baseball team, is scheduled to be a free agent at the end of this season which has prompted questions of whether he will stay or go. Pastor Kate reflects on that question, baseball as a true team sport, as well as the implication of playing as a team in our faith lives.

Philippians 2:1-13

Magic Eye

Written by Faith2014 on . Posted in Sermons.

Sometimes a thing can be right in front of us and we still can’t see it – much like the 3D image hidden in the patterns of a Magic Eye image. Pastor Kate explores how that was true when the Apostle Paul met the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers in Athens and explains who God is to them. She then points to how that is true in our own lives.

 

Accompanying Scripture:
Acts 17:16-31
John 1:16-185

Christmas Eve 2017

Written by Faith2014 on . Posted in Sermons.

Pastor Yvette’s sermon tells the Christmas story from the perspective of a shepherd.

I am not of this time and place, but it seems to me that it is not so very different from my time… In this time, also, God still needs unlikely messengers like we were to receive and to share good news of great joy. God needs you to carry the light of Christ in the midst of darkness.

Praying for Rain

Written by Faith2014 on . Posted in Sermons.

Pastor Kate remembers growing up in New Mexico and being pelted with sand as the wind carried it across the landscape. She also remembers praying for rain to water the barren land. Much like the Israelites prayed for relief after returning from exile in Babylon. Pastor Kate explores what this means for us as we await the coming of a savior on Christmas.

Accompanying Scripture:
Isaiah 55:1-13
John 4:13-14

Can these bones live?

Written by Faith2014 on . Posted in Sermons.

There are so many things that cause us to forget that we are beloved children of God and make us think that God can’t possibly want us, or that God just is not with us. But God is the one who remembers.

Again and again God’s people forgot. They forgot how to live as God’s people, called to justice and mercy, blessed to be a blessing to all God’s world. They forgot God’s faithful love for them.  But again and again, God sent the prophets to remind them of God’s call and God’s promises.

Accompanying scripture:
Ezekiel 37:1-14
John 11:25-26
