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?

Parable of the Leaven

Linda’s message introduces our new worship series, Give Up Certainty for Lent: Live in the Parables of Jesus. Her message is rooted in the parable of the leaven (Matthew 13).

Our Story

Remembering our story & setting the table for God’s unfolding future. Matt’s message is rooted in Isaiah 44.1-8. Music features Brenden Lowe with Grace Kelly.

Prisons

Rev. Gary McAnally was our guest preacher on Sunday, February 23.  Gary’s message invites reflection on prisons & prisoners.

Immigration

Matt’s message invites reflection on immigration & is rooted in 1 Corinthians 1.10-18 & Ched Myers’ Our God Is Undocumented.

No partiality. Really?

Matt’s message is rooted in Acts 10 and the conversion & faith of Peter. How will we be transformed to see God’s boundary crossing love that shows no partiality? How will we come to the table to weave our hearts with others as we break bread? How will these tranformations shape the ways we practice our faith in the world?
