There Are Only Three Sins

Date: February 22, 2026
Scripture: Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7; Matthew 4:1-11
Preacher: Rev. Eileen Parfrey

It’s a tiny bit arrogant (don’t you think) to announce via sermon title, “There are only three sins.” I mean—really? Like one knows this kind of thing. This sermon is not in defense of arrogance, although I understand that’s what all the cool kids are doing these days. But the three categories of sin are … read

Sermon by the Reverend Junha Kim

Date: February 15, 2026
Scripture: Matthew 17:1-9,14-19
Preacher: Rev. Junha Kim

I have been racking my brain for weeks on how to talk about this message because I know that our current generation, too, could easily be described as faithless and perverse. I know we have contributed to becoming a faithless and perverse generation, and that is not the most uplifting … read

Resistant Joy

Date: December 15, 2025
Scripture: Isaiah 35:1-10
Preacher: Rev. Lindsey Hubbard-Groves

As you read from Isaiah, I’d encourage you to look at the bulletin cover piece, called “Blossoming Desert,” by artist Hannah Garrity… what do you recognize there? What is confusing? What seems scary or joyful? Isaiah is a frequent scripture as the calendar year closes, as Christmas nears. There is repeated beautiful imagery of peace, … read

Who Said It Was Simple?

Date: December 7, 2025
Scripture: Matthew 3:1-12
Preacher: Rev. Junha Kim

We have been exploring the phrase “be not afraid” during this Advent season because Advent is often associated with “awaiting”—and when Jesus did arrive, people who had been waiting for Jesus probably felt a little bit of worry, a little bit of anxiety. But they weren’t worried because they thought that Jesus was coming to … read
