Speaker: Rev. Kate Davidson

A Cosmic Wager

This Sunday we began a sermon series on the book of Job, which highlights the story of a man who is completely righteous, loves God, and does everything right but loses everything. What starts as a cosmic bet between God and Satan ends with an exchange between God and Job, giving voice to our frustration with the brokenness of our world. Listen as Pastor Kate explores why God even agrees to this bet and what it means for us today.

Accompanying Scripture:
Job 1:1-22, Luke 6: 46-49

Don’t Worry

Impossibly Possible

In this week’s scripture, Jesus tells a rich man what he needs to do to inherit eternal life. He tells the man to sell all his possessions, give the money to the poor and he will have treasure in heaven, and then follow Jesus. Listen as Pastor Kate explores if we also need to heed Jesus’s advice to sell all our things and then what happens when we choose to follow Jesus.
