Sermons on rooted in grace (Page 24)

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?
