Sermons on Community
Connecting through the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit unites us on many levels. In times of need, in times of celebration, reach out. Find the strength of connection. Don’t be an part time Facebook connection. Be a constant!
Drawing to the Heart of God
We are one body in Christ. Each part plays a role. Find unity through the heart of God. Find common purpose.
Good Trouble: The Power of Sharing, Serving and Helping
Spreading the power of God’s word can be difficult, even life threatening. But we move forward using the example of Jesus…represented so well by the strong women in the Bible and those in our lives.
The Big Picture
What do we lose when we enclose our church in a small setting? What do we miss in the beauty of the world?
I Need You to Invent Some Hope
Empire thrives on division and discord. Jesus calls us to build a world where things get better. James Baldwin said, “Hope is invented everyday.” That is exactly what Jesus calls us to do. We are not alone. When people gather, empire gets nervous.
Compassion Fuels Empathy
Remember your past. Use your experiences to fuel your empathy for others.
Look for the Happiness
Take time to make miracles for the little things.
It is Good to Be Seen
Jesus calls us to see those who aren’t seen by community. What child of God have we not responded to today? How can we welcome them and, in the process, make ourselves whole?
Keep the Faith
The cross is a symbol of power and a tool of persecution. Different perspectives. Life can be exhausting.
Is It Christian?
Some Christians make it hard to be Christian. Today, we are challenged to love each other, don’t hate, make room for others. Thanks be to God for Izzy, Luke, and Owen.
