Talking the Walk
CLIMATE + FAITH: A Lenten worship series at The Table on how we can help meet the greatest challenge in human history. We turn this week to John 3.14-21 and wonder about how the tendency by imperial Christianity to lift the single verse — John 3.16 — out of context might be reconsidered in light of it’s very context. How might the biblical stories alluded to by John 3, help us to listen more deeply to the stories of our…

The Couch of Transformation
Worship this Sunday holds the biblical account of transfiguration from Mark 9.2-9 in conversation with the recently released film called Freud’s Last Session. Instead of viewing the film from the posture of feeling compelled to take sides with either Freud or Lewis, we instead invite you to notice Freud’s couch of transformation.

Come and See
Worship is rooted in John 1.43-51. Rev. Dr. Audrey West writes, “Who would imagine that God’s anointed one could come from a place so distant from the center of power? A messiah from Nazareth, in Galilee?! Inconceivable! … Whatever the genesis of Nathanael’s opinion, neither Jesus nor Philip argues with him.
