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.

Food Insecurity

Matt’s message reflects on food insecurity through the lens of A Place at the Table and the Road to Emmaus.

Our Story

Remembering our story & setting the table for God’s unfolding future. Matt’s message is rooted in Isaiah 44.1-8. Music features Brenden Lowe with Grace Kelly.

Gender

Matt’s message is rooted in Ephesians 5.22-24 & Galatians 3.28. The message invites reflection on gender and faith.

Immigration

Matt’s message invites reflection on immigration & is rooted in 1 Corinthians 1.10-18 & Ched Myers’ Our God Is Undocumented.

No partiality. Really?

Matt’s message is rooted in Acts 10 and the conversion & faith of Peter. How will we be transformed to see God’s boundary crossing love that shows no partiality? How will we come to the table to weave our hearts with others as we break bread? How will these tranformations shape the ways we practice our faith in the world?

Christmas Eve

Matt’s message for our 11pm Candlelight Christmas Eve worship was rooted in Luke 2.1-20. God’s message came to the shepherds…to those who had given up on being inside. God’s message comes today to those who’ve given up on being inside as well, even to those who’ve given up on God.

Imagine

We continue our series by imagining The Advent Way. Matt’s message is rooted in Isaiah 35.1-10. The video played in worship can be viewed here: http://www.theboy.eu.
