Sermons on growing in faith (Page 25)

Growing in Faith

Matt’s message is rooted in Mark 10.17-31.  What powers might be holding us captive and preventing us from taking a next step into the freedom toward which Grace lures us? How might we grow in faith? What might the story of Jesus and the rich young ruler have to teach us about growing in faith today?

Our Vintage Church’s Future: Tony Soprano, Pablo Escobar, & Jesus

Our gathering was rooted in Mark 9.38-50.  Matt’s message invites reflection on how followers of Jesus have drawn lines of exclusion, yet Jesus is always on the other side of our lines…Jesus is always with the outsiders.  How might this shape our vintage church’s next five years? Daryl Black joined our phenomenal music team again this morning as we continued our celebration of #thetableturns5. This is the third week in a three-week series called Our Vintage Church.

The Table Turns 5

We celebrated The Table turning 5 in worship this morning.  Our gathering was rooted in Mark 9.30-37.  This is the second week in a three-week series called Our Vintage Church.

Jesus

Linda’s message invites reflection on Jesus and is rooted in John 6. Who do we say that Jesus is? What is the significance of Jesus in our lives today? This is the fourth week of our five-week worship series called On Ramp. The music featured in this week’s podcast is Joe Kye singing Jesus Are You Real by Mason Jennings.

God

Matt’s message invites reflection on God. How might the Bible and Christian tradition shape the ways we talk about God? What images and metaphors might be faithful in our day to express God’s ineffability? This is the third week of our five-week worship series called On Ramp.

Bible

Matt’s message invites reflection on how we relate to the Bible. Some followers of Jesus argue “the bible says it, they believe it, that settles it.”  Others reject Christianity for such simplistic worldviews. How might we relate to the Bible in our contemporary lives? Where do we start if we’re picking up the Bible again after many years away? How might we wrestle with the Bible as we make meaning of our lives?  Matt’s message is rooted in Acts 17.10-12.…

Thanks

Linda’s message is rooted in Psalm 30 and invites reflection on how the practice of prayer might shape our lives in communion with the mystery of God.  This is the second week in a three-week series on Prayer.

Help

Linda’s message is rooted in Matthew 4.35-41. This is our first week in a three-week series on Prayer.

Godly Play Story of Creation

This is the second week in a three-week worship series on Godly Play and welcoming children at The Table. Jackie’s message is rooted in the first story of creation from Genesis.  The message begins with an introduction to Godly Play at The Table and then continues as Jackie shares the Godly Play story of creation and wonders with our community.

Godly Play Brought Me to Faith as an Adult

This is the first week in a three-week worship series on Godly Play and welcoming children at The Table. Matt’s message is rooted in Isaiah 11.6 & Matthew 19.13-14. How do we welcome children? How might children lead us?
