Sermons on John (Page 9)
Voices of the Voiceless
We conclude our worship series on the Art & Resurrection of Justice with Linda and Matt’s message on the voices of the voiceless. The message is rooted in John 10. The biblical scholarship and reflection for this message draws upon the writing of Anne Howard’s blog Change the Soundtrack and the contemporary stories shared from southeast Asia come from David Batstone’s Not for Sale.
Human Trafficking
Our worship series, The Art and Resurrection of Justice, holds the biblical witness of resurrection in conversation with justice issues of our day. Linda’s message is rooted in John 20.19-31 and the brutalities of human trafficking.
Lean In
Linda’s message is rooted in the story of Mary anointing Jesus’ feet in John 12.1-8. How might Jesus call us to lean in? What expectations will we be led to break? Who do we say Jesus is today? Opening Song: Jesus Are You Real by Mason Jennings.
Olympic Medals
Matt’s message continues our series on Olympic Faith with reflection on Olympic medals, Chic-Fil-A, and John 6.24-35.
Olympic Memories
Linda’s message concludes our series on Olympic Faith with reflection on Olympic memories and John 6.35, 41-51.
Olympic Messes
Linda’s message begins our series on Olympic Faith with reflection on Olympic messes and John 6.1-14.
Reaching in Love
This worship series invites reflection on John 15 and the poetry of Wendell Berry. The scripture readings each week are a “mash-up” of John 15 and Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front. Matt’s message encourages our community to reach in love by making intentional choices related to food and farms.
Growing in Faith
This series called Farm to Table invites reflection on John 15 and the poetry of Wendell Berry. The scripture readings each week are a “mash-up” of John 15 and Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front. Linda’s sermon focuses on abiding in God’s love through Kitchen Tables as we seek to grow in faith.
Trust
Linda’s message is rooted in the life of Lorenza Andrade Smith and John 12.20-33. As we journey toward the cross with Jesus, we’re invited to reflect on how we might be broken open into trust.
Authenticity
Linda’s message is rooted in the life of Bayard Rustin and John 2.13-22. As we journey toward the cross with Jesus, we’re invited to reflect on how we might be broken open into authenticity. A clip from Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin is included in this message.
Growing in Faith
Matt’s message is rooted in John 1.43-51. Our journey toward a “new you” continues with Growing in Faith. Who planted the seeds of Grace in you long ago?
