Sermons on rooted in grace (Page 24)
Who Told You You Were Naked?
Linda’s message is rooted in Genesis 3.1-11. What voices have shaped our identities and our lives? Who told you you were naked? This is the second week in a four-week series based on The Artisan Soul: Crafting Your Life into a Work of Art by Erwin McManus.
Artisan Soul
Linda’s message is rooted in the story of Moses from Exodus 2.1-15. This is the first week in a four-week series based on The Artisan Soul: Crafting Your Life into a Work of Art by Erwin McManus.
Jesus’ Call to Sabbath
Matt’s message is rooted in Matthew 11.28-30 and invites reflection on Jesus’ relationship to Sabbath. This is the third week in a three-part series on Summer Sabbath. Jesus invites his followers, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” What might it look like for us to find rest in Christ?
Remember the Sabbath Day
Linda’s message is rooted in Exodus 20.1-8 and is the second of a three-week series on Sabbath as Resistance. What might we learn from the command God makes upon God’s people to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy?
Resistance and Sabbath
We had technical difficulties, so the sound quality on this podcast is not optimal. We apologize for the sound levels. In the aftermath of a white police officer killing an unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, Matt’s message invites reflection on how Sabbath might call us to ways of resistance as followers of Jesus. The message is rooted in Genesis 2.1-3 and is the first of a three-week series on Sabbath as Resistance.
Testimony
Matt’s message is rooted in Psalm 139 and the Thomas Long’s Testimony: Talking Ourselves into Being Christian. How do we reclaim Jesus’ call to witness to our faith? This is the first week in a four-week series called Talking Ourselves into Being Christian.
Independence, Sin, & Repentance
Linda’s message is rooted in Romans 7.15-25 and the writings of George Tinker, an American Indian theologian who teaches at Iliff Seminary. What might Native Americans teach us about US independence and how does Paul’s understanding of sin inform our need for repentance? This is the fourth week of our five-week worship series on the World Cup: Rhythms of Faith from Around the World.
Forgiven Forgivers
Matt’s message is rooted in the exclusion of Hagar and Ishmael by Sarah and Abraham (Genesis 21.8-21) and the writings of Miroslav Volf of Croatia. How does our understanding of God through Christ form us as forgiven forgivers? This is the third week of our five-week worship series on the World Cup: Rhythms of Faith from Around the World.
Pentecost
Matt’s message is rooted in the story of Pentecost from Acts 2 & Jan Richardson’s Pentecost: This Grace that Scorched Us.
Order of Worship
Linda’s message invites reflection on the history and meaning of our Order of Worship. Why do we do what we do in worship? What intentions guide our ordering of worship?
Worship, Mission, and the Möbius Strip
Matt’s message is rooted in Acts 17.22-31 and the image of a Möbius strip. Ruth Myers, a professor of liturgy and worship at Church Divinity School of the Pacific, introduced the Möbius strip in a class on Missional Worship at the Graduate Theological Union. Matt draws upon the work of Dr. Myers to outline ways of thinking about how worship and mission relate. How does worship relate to mission for you?
In God We Live and Move and Have Our Being
Sara’s message is rooted in Acts 17.22-31. This is the first part of our four-week worship series on the meaning of worship and how worship relates to mission.
