Sermons by Linda Dew-Hiersoux (Page 25)
Reaching in Love
Our worship invited reflection on reaching in love. Linda’s message is rooted in Matthew 22.1-13. The meditation on the text is based on the writing of Steve Garnaas-Holmes (Unfolding Light October 2011).
September 11 Ten Years Later
Selections from worship on September 11, 2011. Ten Years Later: Grievance to Hope | Hatred to love. The music team opens with a live version of Tears by Agape (Dave Scherer). This song was woven throughout the worship. Linda frames Psalm 119 with a brief reflection on 9/11 and Matt closes with selections from Psalm 119 from The Message.
Big Band
Linda’s message reflects on Matthew 16.21-28 and invites our community of faith to reach in love through the Sacramento Valley AIDS Run/Walk.
Combo
We reflect on what it means to reach in love as small groups, what we call Kitchen Tables in our community. Linda’s message is rooted in Paul’s letter to the Romans and a sermon by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Matt closes the message with an invitation to wonder about how our Kitchen Tables might sustain and embolden our efforts to reach in love through the gifts God bestows upon us all uniquely.
Solo
We reflect on what it means to reach in love as individuals. Linda’s message is rooted in the bold faithfulness of the Canaanite woman which led to the transformation of Jesus’ understanding of his mission (Matthew 15.21-28).
Treasure in the Field
Linda’s message is rooted in Matthew 13.44 the parable of the treasure in the field. Music selections include Jikelele (which means God is Everywhere -Universal), Do Justice by Dave Scherer of Agape, and All for the Love by Beth Nielsen Champman.
