• Sermon 6/18/2023
  Kin-dom of God: Within Us, Among Us He also said, ‘With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows… Read more: Sermon 6/18/2023
• Sermon 6/11/2023
  Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, ‘The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, “Look, here it is!” or “There it is!” For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you.Luke 17:20-21 When? When… Read more: Sermon 6/11/2023
• Sermon 6/4/2023
  If I were to ask you to think about a table that has been significant in your life, where does your mind go first? I have a feeling that if I were to ask you to think about various kinds of tables, a fairly clear picture will come to mind as well as a flood… Read more: Sermon 6/4/2023
• Sermon 5/28/2023 Pentecost
  This Sunday we celebrated the day of Pentecost. It signifies 50 days following Easter and it is also the occasion at which the gift of the Holy Spirit came upon the followers of Jesus. For some churches, the significance of Pentecost as a holiday may be the least of all sacred holidays. The Christian Church (Disciples… Read more: Sermon 5/28/2023 Pentecost
• Sermon 5/21/2023
  On May 21st we celebrated Ascension Sunday, the occasion when Jesus physically leaves the earth for good and ascended into the heavens.

After resurrecting from the now empty tomb,… Read more: Sermon 5/21/2023
• Sermon 5/14/2023
  It is amazing to see things that are good individually, unite, forming something great: peanut butter and chocolate; macaroni and cheese, needle and thread, milk and cookies, Batman and Robin. Unity is a good thing. The next pillar that defines us as the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is unity. There are two passages of… Read more: Sermon 5/14/2023
• Sermon April 30, 2023
  Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. – Romans 15:7 I can remember spending spring break holidays at the family farm with my grandparents. On the weekends, a treat for us kids was going out to eat followed by stopping at someone’s house for dessert, cards, and… Read more: Sermon April 30, 2023
• Sermon 4/23/2023
  Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  Romans 8:31-35  Like the author of the letter to the Romans in 8:31-35, I too am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from the love of God. As God’s beloved we are never… Read more: Sermon 4/23/2023
• Sermon 4/16/2023
  We all know what it means when something is “out of commission.” When we face a health condition, illness, or upcoming surgery we know that regular patterns of behavior may not be possible for a while. When the car is in the shop, an appliance is broken, or things aren’t producing as expected, we often… Read more: Sermon 4/16/2023
• Sermon: 4/9/2023 Easter Sunday
  Jesus prepared his disciples and loved ones (and us) as best he could. We know that each of his followers responded in their own ways with doubt and separation being a popular choice but we also know that belief was ever present, especially amongst the women of Jesus’ life. The women listened and believed and… Read more: Sermon: 4/9/2023 Easter Sunday
• Sermon 4/3/2023 – Palm Sunday
  Our journey with Jesus through the season of Lent has delivered us to Palm Sunday. I am so grateful for your willingness to try new things and to experience God in different ways. During our journey we worshipped with our senses: touch, taste, sound, sight, and smell. Together we have deepened our relationship with God… Read more: Sermon 4/3/2023 – Palm Sunday
• Sermon 3/26/2023
  Throughout the Old Testament, an “aroma” is mentioned as something pleasing to the Lord, especially those from sacrifices made before the Lord. The very first mention of God smelling the aroma of a burnt offering is found in Genesis 8:21. Scholars argue that the importance of the aroma is about atonement and the people of… Read more: Sermon 3/26/2023
• Sermon 3/19/2023
  “Oh, the things I have seen,” Mildred said laughingly during her speech at her 90th birthday party. She went on to recount life as a child during the great depression. She spoke of witnessing the world change in the face of wars, manufacturing advancement, technology, climate change, and culture shifts. She waxed eloquently before shifting… Read more: Sermon 3/19/2023
• Sermon 3/12/2023
  “O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in him.” – Psalm 34:8 I love food. I love everything about food, especially how it tastes. Before ever entering my mouth, food has tantalized at least two other senses (most likely sight and smell, if not touch and sound). Taste… Read more: Sermon 3/12/2023
• Sermon 3/5/2023
  We enter into the second Sunday of Lent remembering that we are on a journey of repentance and reconciliation. It is an opportunity to deepen our relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

• Sermon 2/12/2023
  Sunday’s conclusion to Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 7:1-14, 24-29) is jam-packed with verses that are so familiar to many of us, that we can finish many of these phrases on our own. We will conclude our sermon time with a story that Matthew slips in on us that can be considered one of Jesus’… Read more: Sermon 2/12/2023

  What a beautiful Baptism experience Jesus had. A dove descended from heaven and landed upon him and God spoke words of favor and blessing… and then… Jesus is barely dry before Matthew’s gospel places him in the wilderness, where for 40 days of fasting only to be tempted by the devil in his most vulnerable… Read more: Sermon 1/22/2023
