Righteousness & Mercy
Our Lenten worship series is inspired by A Sanctified Art and called Everything [In] Between.

Matt’s message on this third Sunday in Advent is rooted in Matthew 11.2-11. Barbara Brown Taylor writes, “The Messiah has decided to come for now—not all at once but steadily, drop by drop, for millennia.” How are we experiencing the steady drip of God’s mercy in our lives this Advent season?
Good Samaritan
Matt’s message invites us to reconsider the Parable of the Good Samaritan based on Amy-Jill Levine’s Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi.
