Be a Goldfish
Worship holds the story of Jesus’ baptism in Luke in conversation with a lesson from Ted Lasso on “being a goldfish.” What are called to forget? What are we called to remember? How do we remember faithfully? Remember rightly? What will ultimately be remembered and forgotten according to Christian tradition and faith? Worship online with thetable.live.

Home By Another Way
Worship is rooted in Matthew 2:1-12 and the story of the Wise Ones leaving home to follow a star. They embark on a journey of discovering the Divine in the Christ child. Then, in a dream, they listen to God speaking warning to them and return home by another way. As our journeys to discovering the Divine in the Christ continue, we too must sometimes make bold choices to choose a different way. Worship online with thetable.live. CCLI #805699 /…
Chosen Home
Home is not necessarily a place, but where we find authentic belonging. Worship is rooted in the story of a young Jesus straying from his birth family after the Passover to dwell in the Temple. Matt’s message invites reflection on Jesus’ adolescent journey toward belonging and the long journey to belonging of activist and scholar bell hooks in hopes that we might all come to know in the depths of our bones that our true home is found in God.…

Sanctuary
Worship is rooted in Luke 1.46b-55; Mary’s Magnificat. after receiving the angel’s news, Mary retreats to the sanctuary of Elizabeth and Zechariah’s home. She receives a safe haven, a home for her heart to soon sing with joy. Sanctuary and safe space is important for all, including Mary while she prepares to become a home for God. Sanctuary is anywhere God’s love dwells freely and abundantly. Worship online with thetable.live. CCLI #805699 / CCLI Streaming #094804
A Home For All
Worship is rooted in the story of John crying out from the wilderness: “bear fruit worthy of repentance.” Pastor Matt’s message reflects upon a contemporary and unexpected example of what this looks like in our day. The witness comes from a short film called Holding Still which tells story of how contemplative prayer transformed the lives of men who were formerly incarcerated at Folsom Prison. The lives of Lawrence and others have been changed and they are experiencing deep joy…
Laying The Foundation
Worship is rooted in Luke 1.57-80 and the Canticle of Zechariah. Unable to speak for many months, the dam bursts at the birth of his son John as Zechariah shares his prophecy of blessing laying the foundation for John’s life who will be the one to lay the foundation for the life of Jesus.

Making All Things New
Worship is rooted in Revelation 21.1-8. The Greek word for “revelation” is apokalypsis. It literally means “A lifting of the veil.” Dr. Micah D. Kiel argues that John, the stated author of the book of Revelation, does not prescribe the destruction of the earth, but rather envisions an ecological alternative where God is sovereign, the Earth matters and has a voice, and Revelation offers a glimpse of wild and uncultivated places as the future that God will create. In this…
