Rooted in Grace
Worship is rooted in Job 1-2. Dr. Ellen Davis writes, “I suspect that we do not more often appeal to the book of Job in times of distress because we do not really know how to read it for the sake of our souls.” Pastor Matt’s message invites us to read Job for the sake of our souls as we reflect upon how we will moor ourselves to God by rooting our lives in grace.

Reconsidering Hospitality
Worship online with thetable.live. Pastor Matt’s message is rooted in Matthew 25.31-46. In the Parable of Final Judgement, the King will say to the nations gathered before him, “…Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food…I was a stranger and you welcomed me…” (Matthew 25.34-35). What might we learn from this parable for our own day? What might judgment in the Biblical witness reveal and how might…

Cannonball
Matt’s message is rooted in Micah 6.8 & Matthew 5.21-37. The salty, light people of God are hanging around the edges of the pool, dipping their toes in the water, when Jesus cannonballs into the deep. Once he has their attention, Jesus calls them deeper into creatively, vulnerably, and honestly responding to the conflicts in which they are swimming.
I Like You Just The Way You Are
Matt’s message is rooted in Matthew 3.13-17 and Mister Rogers’ message to children, “I like you just the way you are.”
Grinder, Burning Man, and a Pastor on the Playa
Linda’s message invites reflection on Burning Man, Default Worlds, and the Letter of James (James 1.17-27). Do you want to hear the story of how we changed someone’s life today?
Intervention
No one likes intervention. Intervention is uncomfortable and fraught with fear. Like getting rapped on the knuckles, intervention stings. Matt’s message holds an ancient story of Jesus’ intervening love (Mark 8.31-38) in conversation with Amy Winehouse’s song Rehab and Brené Brown important work on guilt & shame. How might we open to God’s intervening love as we journey through the wilderness of Lent toward rehabilitating our spiritual lives?
I Am Not
The hopes & fears of all the years will be met in a vulnerable child in a little town that is both far away and right here. John was clear he was not the long awaited Messiah and embraced his calling to be a witness. Matt’s Advent message weaves reflections on the story of our church community with readings from Isaiah 61.1-11 and John 1.6-8,19-28. How might grace inspire and shape our call to be witnesses to a new redemption…
Found, Take 3
Jesus asks his followers, “Who do you say I am?” Matt’s message weaves this question from Matthew 16.13-20 with an unexpected experience of being found by grace at a nation-wide vigil called Standing in Solidarity with Charlottesville. This is the third week of our worship series, Found, focused on noticing & celebrating grace in our everyday lives.
Found, Take 2

This is the second week of our worship series, Found, focused on noticing & celebrating grace in our everyday lives.
