One Mother’s Model for Life

Date: May 11, 2025
Scripture: Psalm 23 (MSG), Acts 9:36-41 (NRSVue)
Preacher: Junha Kim

It makes a lot of sense that Psalm 23 falls in the Easter season, because it describes the new life Jesus invites us into—one of rest in lush meadows, one where our hunger and thirst are satisfied without noise, one of no despair, where dropping heads are revived and our cups are brimming with blessings, … read

Sequels

Date: May 5, 2025
Preacher: Rev. Lindsey Hubbard-Groves

Part One: Scripture Review I want to offer a context for our scripture today. A book club bonus, if you will. We’ll focus on the Book of Acts in the coming weeks, called the Acts of the Apostles or Acts of the Holy Spirit. Acts and how its stories are often used in the church … read

Healing What We Wish For

Date: March 23, 2025
Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-9; Luke 13:1-9
Preacher: Rev. Eileen Parfrey

They offer an easily accessed set of advice, interpretive data, and good ideas from which to draw. Perhaps, like me, you were crammed with momilies. “Anything worth doing is worth doing well.” … read
