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.

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.

Reaching in Love
Worship is rooted in Job 38-41. How might we, like Job, be challenged by the Divine this day to expand our vision and to see beyond ourselves, to see with God’s eyes the world’s intricacy and wild beauty, and surrender our personal expectations?

11pm Candlelight Christmas Eve
Linda’s message for 11pm Candlelight Christmas Eve is rooted in John 1.1-14.
Micah
Linda’s message on Micah encourages our community of faith to make this short passage, within this short book, part of our library as we return to the basics of doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with God.
Rethink.
Linda’s message weaves reflections from four persons from our community of faith with Mark 3.20-35 and the revival of the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign. How might this encounter from the Gospel of Mark challenge & inspire us to rethink our understandings of family and the social structures in which we move? How might this witness lure us deeper into the messiness of love?
Falling and Rising
Worship on this first Sunday in the season of Christmas is rooted in Luke 2.22-40. Matt & Linda invite reflection on the blessing of the infant Jesus by Simeon & Anna. How might God be calling us into a life of falling and rising?
