This week, we hear from Ezekiel about an experience a prophet has about prophesying to bring dry bones to life. It seems fantastical and hard to imagine. What does it look like to find life among things that seem lifeless and dry? Listen as Intern Pastor Jennie explores how to find life among death and hard times.
Accompanying Scripture:
Ezekiel 37:1-14, John 11:25-26
This week we celebrated the day of Pentecost when the whole church was together, gifted with the Holy Spirit, and suddenly able to hear each other even though they spoke different languages. Listen as Pastor Kate explores the way the spirit is at work in and around us, uniting us during the divisive times we find ourselves experiencing today.
Accompanying Scripture:
Acts 2:1-4, 1 Corinthians 12:1-13, Mark 1: 4-8
Pastor Kate reflects on how some days are just bad days. Still, despite what life throws at us, God is with us, and is always waiting for us with open arms.
Accompanying Scripture:
Mark 5:1-20
In Genesis, Jacob wrestles with God to a standstill. Wrestling with God can be difficult for us, and we may even feel like it’s not allowed. But God welcomes our questions and calls us into a relationship that is a holy struggle between our own desire for control and our willingness to sit in uncomfortable and uncertain places. Listen as Intern Pastor Miriam contemplates our blessed wrestlings with God, faith, and each other.
Accompanying Scripture:
Genesis 32: 9-13, 22-30
Resting, taking a break, not producing – all these things are commanded by God. In fact, it’s one of the 10 Commandments – the need for rest right up there with not murdering. Listen to Pastor Kate reflect on what that means in our lives in this sermon which is the start of our Sabbath sermon series.
Accompanying Scripture: Deuteronomy 5:12-15, Matthew 11:28-30
The prophet Habakkuk offers a lament to God, giving voice to the frustration and agony the people of Judah are feeling. Pastor Kate offers her own laments about the state of the world while considering where God is in all our pain. http://bible.oremus.org/?ql=411120984
