Sermons on Isaiah
Compassion
In this worship series we are examining the news we take in and share. We are looking for the “really good news” that can sustain us in the long haul. Together, we find ways to tell deeply good news for all people by filtering our interactions through the lens of compassion. Today’s scripture gives us what feels like an impossible vision: those who are enemies existing peacefully together. It is said that if we can envision something, we can work…

We find joy in connection
This Advent we acknowledge the weariness, grief, rage, and hopelessness we carry—and we also affirm that we are made for Joy and Connection. In community our Joy expands. This week Mary seeks connection with Elizabeth and the two pregnant women carry each other’s joy. Through the prophet Isaiah, we hear God speak tender words of comfort; this is the comfort we can give to and receive from each other during this season. Worship online with thetable.live.

Ash Wednesday: Collect Your Materials
Our Lenten worship series, Composting Faith, begins on Ash Wednesday with worship inviting us to Collect Our Materials for the journey ahead as we hold our lives & scripture in conversation with the Divine while spending time at the compost pile. Rev. Jeff Chu, in a sermon entitled “The Theology of the Compost” shared as part of a conference called Evolving Faith in 2018,“The more time I spend at the compost pile, the more I wonder whether one thing we…
I Am Not
The hopes & fears of all the years will be met in a vulnerable child in a little town that is both far away and right here. John was clear he was not the long awaited Messiah and embraced his calling to be a witness. Matt’s Advent message weaves reflections on the story of our church community with readings from Isaiah 61.1-11 and John 1.6-8,19-28. How might grace inspire and shape our call to be witnesses to a new redemption…
Don’t Freak Out
Pastor Chris’s Advent message is rooted in Isaiah 40.1-11. The people of God have moved through troubling times throughout the generations. How might this Advent season invite us to work the quality of our waiting?
Things Are Not Okay
In the midst of our hopes & fears, we welcome God’s coming again this Advent season. Linda’s message invites reflection on Isaiah 64 & Mark 13.24-37.
Moana
This week in our worship series Faith & Films, Linda takes us through Disney’s new story of Moana and ties it together with the scripture of Isaiah 55.10-13. This film walks us through the beauty and mystery of God’s creation through Polynesian stories and mythology. Like Moana, Isaiah points to the cycles of nature as the story of God’s promise. We must learn to trust God’s desire to bless and re-create and allow us to pause in the beauty of…
