Sermons on reaching in love (Page 7)

Already/Not Yet

Matt’s message on this first Sunday in Advent is rooted in Matthew 24.36-44. While dominant expressions of Christianity would have followers of Jesus believe what we do in this world means nothing because it will all be wiped away as the faithful are taken into eternity upon Jesus’ return. The Gospel of Matthew invites us to practice an eschatological existence as we join with God in bringing healing in places of hurt.

Dreamers

Rev. Nancy Frausto’s message holds her own migration story in conversation with Matthew 2.9-15.

Coming Home

Alexie Torres invites reflection on the great migration back to the heart of God in which we find each other.

Reaching in Love

Matt’s message hold’s Amanda Lindsey Cook’s newly released The New Country in conversation with Jeremiah 29 and Luke 17. As we reflect on ways to deepen our commitments to God and one another, what “new country” might God be calling you toward as you reach in love?

The Bottom Line

Rev. Carol Estes was our special guest preacher for the opening worship of this series. Carols’ message is rooted in Luke 14.25-33.

Rebels with a Cause

Matt’s message is rooted in story of Jesus healing the bent over woman in Luke 13.10-17. Who might God be calling you to notice? How might you be called to accompany them as they rise to freedom?

In God We Trust

Linda’s message is rooted in Luke 12.32-40. In the midst of a difficult week Linda shares her struggle to find the Good News of the Gospel in Jesus’ teaching that where our heart is, our treasure is also.

Seriously?

Linda’s message is rooted in Genesis 18: 1-10a. Abraham & Sarah offer hospitality to God echoing the radical hospitality that God offers to all. This story reminds all of us that we too have the freedom to receive and share in God’s hospitality in ways that transform the world as well.
