Pentecost isn’t just the church’s birthday—it’s a vivid picture of who we’re called to be. In this sermon, we trace the Acts 2 story through bold works of art, discovering a Spirit-fueled vision that blows past familiar walls, builds bridges across cultures, and widens the circle of God’s good news. Come explore how wind, fire, and imagination still ignite an expansive, brave, and joyful church today.

Psalm 23 paints a picture of a God who not only provides, but who walks beside us—through meadows and shadowed valleys alike. In this sermon, we explore what it means to follow the God who gives: who offers food, healing, rest, and purpose. Grounded in both creation and incarnation, we are invited to receive life as gift—and to respond with lives of generosity, compassion, and friendship with God.

We're invited to remember in this Holy Week sermon—not selectively, but deeply and honestly. As we reflect on the unnamed woman who anointed Jesus, we’ll explore how true remembrance leads us beyond comfort, into compassion, truth-telling, and hope. By joining our stories to Jesus’ story, we discover the kind of love that never forgets and the kind of hope that never lets go.

In “Gravity,” we meet the Ascended Christ not as one who vanishes skyward, but as the force that draws heaven down to earth. Grounded in Acts 1 and Ephesians 1, this sermon shows how resurrection life tethers us upward to God’s purpose and outward to embodied love of neighbor. Following Jesus means letting holy “gravity” anchor our faith in real places, real people, and concrete acts of hope—so every step becomes part of God’s descent into the world.

What if Psalm 23 invites us to see God not only as Shepherd, but also as Mother? In this sermon, we reflect on a God who nurtures, feeds, and fiercely loves—challenging our assumptions and expanding our understanding of divine care. Drawing from scripture’s often-overlooked maternal images of God, we’re invited to embrace the nourishment of God’s love, receive the strength of a fierce tenderness, and rest at the table of the One who makes room for us all.

Explore how Jesus’ parable of the loving father invites us to cherish authentic connection over mere exchange. In this sermon, we’ll discover how embracing genuine relationships, rather than transactional thinking, empowers us to love more boldly and hope more fully.

In this sermon, we’re invited to see diversity, equity, and inclusion not as political talking points, but as deeply biblical values—rooted in creation, justice, and the wide welcome of God’s family. As we reflect on Psalm 23 and the parable of the lost sheep, we’ll explore how honoring God’s design leads us to advocate for fairness, cherish every person’s worth, and build communities where all can truly belong.

This Eastertide sermon invites us to see resurrection not just as a past event, but as the shape of the world and the heartbeat of our faith. Through the stories of Mary in the garden and God's renewing creation, we’ll explore how real hope rises from sacrifice, how God works with what’s broken, and how—even when we mistake Jesus for the gardener—new life calls us by name. Because Christ is risen, we are moving, day by day, from death to life.

Discover how Jesus invites us from self-reliance into a shared life where love, accountability, and support kindle genuine hope. In this sermon, we’ll see how building relationships and embracing community fosters resilience, belonging, and a renewed sense of purpose.
