Sermons on rooted in grace (Page 16)

Embracing Diversity in Gender & Sexuality

Matt’s message holds the story of the Ethiopian eunuch from Acts 8. 26-40 in conversation with Lady Bird’s representation of gender & sexuality.  What might scripture have to teach us about embracing diversity in gender and sexuality today?

Easter Sunday

Pastor Linda’s Easter message holds the resurrection story from the Gospel of Mark in conversation with Resurrecting Easter by John Dominic & Sarah Crossan. What might ancient images of resurrection from Eastern churches have to teach us in the West about resurrection?

Easter Sunrise

We celebrated the Baptism of 2 adults & 3 children as we gathered for Easter worship at sunrise in the Rose Garden at McKinley Park. Matt’s Easter Sunrise message is rooted in the resurrection story from John’s Gospel in which the Risen One calls Mary by name and she recognizes him.  What difference might God’s calling us by name make in our lives this Easter?

The Politics of Palm Sunday

Pastor Chris shared a Palm Sunday message rooted in Mark 11.1-11 at The Table this morning. What might the political implications of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem have to say about our day today in Sacramento?

Wilderness

Linda’s message is rooted in the story of Jesus being driven into the wilderness for 40 days (Mark 1.9-15). Wilderness is a place & season of disorientation, loss, & pain. How might God be calling us all into a season of wilderness this Lent?

Mortality

For the first time in 73 years, Valentine’s Day falls on the same day as Ash Wednesday. What might the story of Valentine teach us about Ash Wednesday as we begin our Lenten journey? Matt’s message on this Ash Wednesday is rooted in the story of Valentine as shared by Godly Play.

From Farm-to-Fork to a Revolution of Love

Matt’s message is rooted in 1 Corinthians 8.1-13. Paul was writing to the church in Corinth about how their relationship with food was standing in opposition to an ethic of love. What might we learn from this ancient letter for our day? What might Paul’s wisdom to the church in Corinth have to teach us about the farm-to-fork movement today?

Toxic Masculinity

Matt’s message is rooted in Mark 1.21-28 & invites reflection on disrupting toxic masculinity.

I Am Not

The hopes & fears of all the years will be met in a vulnerable child in a little town that is both far away and right here. John was clear he was not the long awaited Messiah and embraced his calling to be a witness. Matt’s Advent message weaves reflections on the story of our church community with readings from Isaiah 61.1-11 and John 1.6-8,19-28. How might grace inspire and shape our call to be witnesses to a new redemption…

Resolve to Forgive

Pastor Chris has created this worship series called Baggage as part of his Path 1 Residency in Church Planting at The Table. In this last week of his three-week worship series, Chris walks us through the story of Joseph and his brothers, rooted in Genesis 50. 15-21. How do you bring peace back to your spirit after it has been broken so bad by others? Can we learn to be more willing to relinquish our rights to our baggage and allow…
