Worship online with The Table 9:30am Sunday shared from our homes to your home. Help flatten the curve and find bread for the journey with The Table. CCLI #805699 / CCLI Streaming #094804
Coco
Matt’s message is rooted in the 2017 Pixar film Coco & the readings assigned to the global Christian church by the lectionary. Coco invites reflection on the power of memory. Jesus longs for us to break bread in remembrance of him and the unhidden truth is that remembering in the context of crucifixion was a radically anti-imperial act. Perhaps it can be, when rightly remembered, today as well?
Forever Family
Rev. Craig Brown’s Pentecost message is rooted in the story of his own adoption and Romans 8.14-17.
Hidden Figures
Linda’s message weaves the acclaimed film Hidden Figures with Paul’s letter to early Christians in Rome (Romans 8.12-25). Hidden Figures shares the story of three female, African-American mathematicians who serve a critical role in the early years of NASA space program. Their lives were often hidden from the powers that be. The math they uncovered was also hidden from other scientists of their time. Just has God was moving through these hidden figures, God was also moving through a hidden…
Curriculum for Christianity as a School for Love
Matt’s message invites reflection on the movement of love within Christianity. Christianity teaches that we are created in love, we are born into a fallen world, and we are redeemed by God’s love. This is the curriculum for our school of love. How might this curriculum shape our daily lives?
Fear
Linda’s message is rooted in Romans 12.18-21 & invites reflection on how we might move through fear into more trusting and faithful ways of being.
Caring for Creation
Matt’s message is rooted in Psalm 139 and Romans 8.19-23. How are we called to care for creation as followers of Jesus? What might our faith tradition have to teach us about honoring the earth? This is the first week in a four-week worship. The segment from the closing song for the podcast was recorded as our prayer of confession in worship. The song is called Hymn of Remorse by Brian McLaren and Tracy Howe. Here is a link to…
Love and Witness
Linda’s message is rooted in Romans 9.1-5 and Thomas Long’s Testimony: Talking Ourselves into Being Christian. How might we talk about faith in our daily lives? This is the third week in a four-week series called Talking Ourselves into Being Christian.
Independence, Sin, & Repentance
Linda’s message is rooted in Romans 7.15-25 and the writings of George Tinker, an American Indian theologian who teaches at Iliff Seminary. What might Native Americans teach us about US independence and how does Paul’s understanding of sin inform our need for repentance? This is the fourth week of our five-week worship series on the World Cup: Rhythms of Faith from Around the World.
Sexuality
Matt’s message invites reflection on faith & sexuality.
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.
Reason
Our worship series on the Quadrilateral continues with emphasis on Reason. Matt’s message is rooted in Romans 12.1-3. “John Wesley believed that the living core of the Christian faith was revealed in Scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified in personal experience, and confirmed by reason” (UM Book of Discipline). How is our faith formed and informed by Reason?
