Dreams from God (Sunday, July 19, 2020)

Sometimes people wonder if a dream can come from God. Yes! Scripture is full of instances where God speaks through dreams. Today, we explore a dream Jacob has and our own dreams from God. Today's sermon is based on Genesis 28:10-19a.

The faith of Rebekah (Sunday, July 12, 2020)

Today, we look at Rebekah's faith and the conflict between Jacob and Esau. What does Rebekah have to say to us during this time of trial? The sermon is based on Genesis 25:19-34 and Matthew 13:1-9,18-23.

To what will I compare this generation? (Sunday, July 5, 2020)

Jesus asks the question this morning, "To what will I compare this generation?" While those words were said 2,000 years ago, the question is still before us today. What will our generation be compared during this time of a pandemic and racial unrest? The sermon is based on Genesis 24:34-38, 42-49, 58-67 and Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30.

Abraham and trusting God (Sunday, June 28, 2020)

In today's reading, Abraham has been asked to sacrifice his beloved son. It is a complex story that most certainly challenges our view of God. What does this story have to teach us about trusting God? The sermon is based on Genesis 22:1-14.

How long, O Lord? How long? (Sunday, June 7, 2020)

How long, O Lord? How long will racism have a hold over our communities? How do the Scriptures challenge us to think differently about race? How can we learn to listen to our black brothers and sisters? How can we begin to understand what is meant and intended by "Black Lives Matter"? This is a sermon that challenges the way we keep thinking and acting. It challenges us to love as God and Jesus taught. On this Trinity Sunday, we explore God speaking creation into being and declaring it good and the final instructions from Christ to spread the Good News. The sermon is based on Genesis 1:1-2:4a and Matthew 28:16-20.
