30:22Date January 19, 2025 Synopsis In this sermon, we launch our new series, "Come Alive: A Series on What the World Needs," by exploring the transformative practice of "centering down" through the wisdom of Howard Thurman and the example of Jesus. Drawing from Thurman's profound connection with an oak tree in his youth to Jesus's regular retreats for prayer, we discover how intentional pause and contemplation aren't just spiritual luxuries—they're essential practices for anyone seeking to make a difference in the world. This counter-cultural message reminds us that our inner work directly shapes our outer witness, and we can't fully come alive for others until we're fully alive to the divine within.

35:56Date January 12, 2025 Synopsis When God writes "Beloved" on our hearts, it transforms how we see ourselves and each other. Like a child proudly writing their name, like friends recognizing each other's baby pictures, like communities holding space for both joy and sorrow—we're called to live as if we actually believe we're beloved, and to create spaces where others can discover they are too.

33:21Date January 5, 2025 Synopsis In this sermon, we explore how God's faithfulness mirrors the constancy of stars in the night sky. Drawing on the Epiphany story of the magi following the star to Jesus, Pastor Brent illuminates how God's steady presence guides us through life's uncertainties and dark moments - just as celestial bodies have faithfully oriented travelers for millennia. Like the persistent star that led the wise men to an unexpected encounter with divine love, God's light remains constant, leading us to hope and revelation in surprising places.

20:10Date December 24, 2024 Synopsis In this sermon, we explore how God disrupts and rewrites our expected endings through the lens of a surprising Christmas carol and a fresh look at the nativity story. By examining how the traditional interpretation of "no room at the inn" might actually be a story of radical hospitality, we discover a God who consistently shows up in unexpected places and subverts our assumptions about how things "must" end. This message of divine disruption reminds us that our seemingly fixed endings are never truly final in God's economy of grace and possibility.

34:16Date December 22, 2024 Synopsis In this sermon, we dive into what happens when vulnerability meets blessing through the lens of Mary's visit to Elizabeth. We explore how creating safe spaces for truth-telling—like Elizabeth's home and the muskrat's winter den—allows us to encounter transformative love that empowers us to sing new songs of hope. This fourth Sunday of Advent reminds us that authentic love makes room for our whole selves, not just our highlight reel.

31:47Date December 15, 2024 Synopsis In this sermon, we unpack the revolutionary nature of joy through the dual lenses of ancient prophecy and creation's wisdom. Moving beyond shallow optimism, we discover joy as a daily practice of drawing from God's deep wells of salvation—a practice that, like the pink candle interrupting Advent's purple hues, breaks through darkness with unexpected light. This exploration reveals how joy becomes both protest and prayer in a world longing for wholeness.

32:26Date December 8, 2024 Synopsis In this sermon from our Advent series "All Creation Waits: Rewilding Advent," we explore how God's transformative work of peace unfolds not in dramatic moments, but through slow, steady change—just like mountains eroding and valleys filling over time. Drawing wisdom from John the Baptist's call to prepare the way and insights from the natural world, we discover that real, lasting peace requires our active participation through daily practices that shape us. Like rivers changing course or flamingos taking on the color of what they consume, we are gradually transformed as we turn toward God's vision of peace.

29:14Date December 1, 2024 Synopsis In this sermon, launching the series "All Creation Waits: Rewilding Advent," we discover how Advent begins not in cozy certainty, but in holy chaos. When the world feels like it's falling apart, nature's winter wisdom - from chickadees mapping seeds of hope to fig trees pulsing with hidden life - teaches us a radical way forward. Instead of numbing our pain or turning away, we're invited to stay alert and present, trusting that God's renewal persists even in the dark.

36:16Date November 24, 2024 Synopsis In this sermon, we wrestle with Bonhoeffer's piercing question: "Are we still of any use?" Through his life and writings, we explore what it means for the church to be more than furniture in the background of our lives—to become Christ's visible presence in the world. Bonhoeffer's journey from academic theologian to prophetic voice shows us how the Sermon on the Mount calls us beyond theoretical faith into tangible action, challenging us to be the church that makes Christ present in times of crisis and suffering.

32:48Date November 17, 2024 Synopsis In this sermon, we discover how a 19th-century French saint's radical embrace of smallness offers surprising wisdom for our exhausting, power-hungry world. St. Thérèse of Lisieux's "Little Way"—finding strength in weakness and trusting in small acts of great love—provides both a liberating alternative to our culture's demands for constant achievement and a radical roadmap for navigating our present moment of social upheaval and disillusionment. This message speaks directly to anyone feeling inadequate or overwhelmed, revealing how our perceived weaknesses might actually be the exact places where God shows up most powerfully.

32:45Date November 10, 2024 Synopsis In this sermon, we journey with Fannie Lou Hamer, whose unwavering faith and resilience amid adversity offer profound lessons in justice and courage for anyone who has ever felt marginalized or weary from the struggle against injustice. Through her inspiring story and the lens of Hebrews 11:1, we explore how faith serves as our foundation, standing under us, especially when the world feels unsteady. This message invites us to reflect on our role in creating change, reminding us of Hamer's powerful conviction: "You can pray until you faint, but if you don’t get up and try to do something, God is not going to put it in your lap."

31:20Date November 3, 2024 Synopsis In this sermon, we explore the life of Henri Nouwen—Catholic priest, prolific author, and wounded healer—whose lifelong struggle with feeling worthy of love led him to discover God's grace in unexpected places. Through Nouwen's journey from prestigious academic positions to living among those with disabilities at L'Arche, we learn that our wounds aren't liabilities but pathways to healing, and that like trapeze artists, we're all called to trust in the divine Catcher who promises to hold us. This message will especially resonate with anyone who has ever felt like an impostor, struggled with feeling worthy of love, or longed to be enough—inviting us to consider how our own wounds might become sources of healing for others, just as Nouwen taught us that "when our wounds cease to be a source of shame and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers."

You'll be inspired by stories of past community feasts and challenged to practice hospitality and generosity in a world often marked by division, echoing Pádraig Ó Tuama's call to "flex the muscles of hospitality" in the face of hostility.
