Sermons from May 2024
Awe-Inspiring Presence
We are beginning the longest season of the Christian Year, the Sundays after Pentecost. On Pentecost, the church takes the stage and seeks to live out what has been learned and to put it into action. We don’t do this work alone, which is why we begin with this season with a series about seeking God. Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-8 (CEB)
Dry Bones, Flames, and a New Spirit
This is Pentecost Sunday! In the Christian tradition, this is sometimes celebrated as the birthday of the universal church. This Sunday we will explore how the gift of the Holy Spirit inspires us to new life, new ministry, new ways of being community and the church! Scripture: Ezekiel 37:1-14; Acts 2:1-8, 11b-21 (CEB)
… and Know that I am God
What is the power of words in an institution? This Ascension Sunday we conclude our post-Easter sermon series exploring “The Power of Words.” Our denomination just finished its work at the General Conference in Charlotte, NC. This year’s theme was based on Psalm 46, entitled “…and know I am God.” Scripture: Psalm 46: 1-5, 9-10 & John 17: 7-11 (NRSV)
