Pharisee & Tax Collector

Matt’s message holds The Music Circus’s production of Cabaret in conversation with Amy-Jill Levine’s prophetic reading of the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Luke 18.9-14).

Mustard Seed

Linda’s message is rooted in Mark 4.30-32. Linda invites reflection on how the Parable of the Mustard Seed might help us to see the seeds of God’s love & justice in our lives today.

Pearl of Great Price

Matt’s message celebrates the election of Rev. Dr. Karen Oliveto as a Bishop in the United Methodist Church. The message is rooted in the parable of the great pearl (Matthew 13.45-46) and asks how we might go all-in for the great pearl in our lives? What is of ultimate concern for us? What will we need to let go of in order to go all in?

Lost Sheep. Lost Coin. Lost Son.

Matt’s message invites us to be rooted in the relationships in which we find ourselves. We look back at three parables to hear a challenge for how we might live faithfully right now. The message is rooted in Luke 15 and Amy-Jill Levine’s Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi.  Music by Joe Kye is woven into the message and the opening song is a clip from his newly composed song called Part Of.
