This week we learn about the disciples’ experience with Jesus, when they witness him transfigured. Listen as Intern Pastor Miriam invites us to experience the infinite wonder of God, whenever and however God appears to us.
Jesus tells the Pharisees that every evil intention comes from within. Listen as Pastor Kate explores what this means for us, as Jesus prepares us for a life full of love.
IP Miriam considers our resistance to unsolicited teaching or advice, and how God is ever persistent in showing us a new way of being: one of compassion and love.
Intern Pastor Miriam reflects on what it’s like to live in a world full of urgency, and explores the ways in which God already has all the time we need.
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.
Jesus begins his teaching ministry by telling stories – stories that may seem clear initially but could mean any number of things. Pastor Kate explores what that means as we hear Jesus’s parables from our own perspective or vantage point, especially as Jesus’s own words in between the parables seem to muddy the water even more.
In this week’s sermon, Guest Preacher Catherine explores how Peter’s mother-in-law felt about the hole in her roof, and how we might feel to have Jesus in our homes today.
If you’re not feeling the joy of the Christmas season or your emotions are complex, then perhaps this sermon is something you need to hear. Pastor Kate reflects on the mixed emotions that accompanied the Israelites’ return from exile almost 1500 years ago as well as that hope and grief are often interconnected.
In this second week of Advent, Intern Pastor Miriam explores our human fragility. Like grass, a mere puff of wind or a tiny bump on the path of life can knock us over. Like the baby whose birth we are awaiting, we are fragile. But God and God’s promise of love are firm and unshakable. We hear the Word of God that stands strong forever, ready to comfort us always.
