Hadestown

Our worship series in September will hold current cultural touchpoints from the airwaves (Grammy), small screen (Emmy), large screen (Oscar), and theater (Tony) in conversation with the Gospel readings assigned to the global Christian church by the lectionary. This week we turn to the Broadway musical Hadestown & Jesus’ parable on laborers and a householder. Worship online with thetable.live. CCLI #805699 / CCLI Streaming #094804

How does Jesus save us?

Our worship series is rooted in the reflections and contemplative practices of Father Richard Rohr on resurrection. Richard Rohr is a Franciscan friar and Catholic priest and the Founding Director of the Center for Action and Contemplation. His writings encourage contemplation as the means of discovering the transformational ways in which he understands that “God is coming to us as our lives.” Worship this morning is rooted in Luke 17:11-19 and invites deeper reflection on how Jesus saves us.

Cars 3

Matt’s message is rooted in Matthew 13.31-33, 44-52. Matt connects the story of the disciples and Jesus in Matthew with the new Disney Pixar film, Cars 3. Lightning McQueen faces the struggles of trying to learn the new technology while he is still stuck in the old days. Just like in Cars 3, these parables in the reading are demonstrating the old and the new coming together and bringing out the treasures of what our tradition and Scripture teach us…

The Hope of Heaven

Matt’s message reflects on the hope of heaven and is rooted in Romans 15.13. This worship series is based on Christopher Morse’s The Difference Heaven Makes.

The Reality of Heaven

Linda’s message explores the grittiness of heaven’s reality.  What does it mean to say heaven is real from the perspective of the Gospel?  How have we encountered the reality of Heaven in our own lives?   Luke 24.1-8  frames the message.  This worship series is based on Christopher Morse’s The Difference Heaven Makes.

Theologies of Heaven

We experienced technical difficulties with our recording of worship.  This podcast is a recording of the message a few days later.  Matt’s message explores ways in which heaven has been talked about by theologians and invites reflection on how we might talk about heaven today. This worship series is based on Christopher Morse’s The Difference Heaven Makes.

Hearing of Heaven Today

Matt’s message explores ways in which heaven was imagined in biblical times and in our contemporary world.  Matt holds these images in tension and invites reflection on how we might imagine heaven in our lives today. Isaiah 60.1-9 frames the message.  This worship series is based on Christopher Morse’s The Difference Heaven Makes.
