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.

Labors of Love

We had technical difficulties with our recording of worship.  The following message was recorded after worship in the quiet of an empty sanctuary.  Linda’s message is rooted in Hebrews 13 and invites reflection on Labor Day and reaching in love.

Yoga & Church

Linda’s message is rooted in Psalm 77.  How might the practice of yoga help us to grow in faith? What might followers of Jesus learn from yoga?

Experience

Our worship series on the Quadrilateral continues with emphasis on Experience. Linda’s message is rooted in 1 John 4.1.  “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 vivified by experience?

Tradition

Our worship series on the Quadrilateral continues with emphasis on Tradition. Linda’s message is rooted in 2 Timothy 1.3-7.  “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 do you relate to Tradition?  What from our Tradition might you need to reconsider and what might you need to leave behind?

Jam Sessions

Linda’s message is rooted in the story of Lydia from chapter 16 in the book of Acts and the importance of jam sessions in jazz music. Part 5 in our worship series on Acts and jazz.

Experimenting

Linda’s message is rooted in Acts 9.36-43.  How might we embrace errors en route to learning as we grow in faith?

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.

Prodigal God

Linda, Matt, and Scott present a contemporary reflection on the story commonly called The Prodigal Son from Luke’s Gospel. In rethinking this parable, what might we learn regarding who Jesus is for us today?  Special thanks to Rev. Christy Thomas for her version of Prodigal Son and Rev. Steve Garnaas-Holmes for his poetry and prayers at Unfolding Light.
