• The Already and Not Yet - Angel Nalubega
    2025/11/16

    On the Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost our Director of Youth and Outreach, Angel Nalubega preaches on what it means to live faithfully in a world that feels uncertain and turbulent. Drawing from Isaiah and the Gospel of Luke, we hear the radical promise of God: “I am creating a new heaven and a new earth.” What does that look like when institutions fail, when chaos surrounds us, and when fear threatens to take hold?

    This message invites us to see possibility in the midst of upheaval—where old systems crumble, new life emerges. Through stories of mutual aid, acts of love, and glimpses of the Holy Spirit at work, we are reminded that God’s vision of justice and renewal is not a distant dream but something we build together, here and now.

  • The Gift of Humility: Not What We Are Not - The Rev. Simone Lilith Drinkwater

    This week we dive into a powerful sermon that unpacks Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. Don't be too quick to judge the Pharisee. The Rev. Simone Drinkwater challenges us to look inward, revealing how we often repeat the same self-justifying logic when we define ourselves by what we are not or what we don't believe. Join us as we wrestle with God, embrace our shared imperfections, and learn to accept the profound, humbling gift or grace.

  • To Not Lose Heart - The Rev. Mike Angell
    2025/10/19

    Don't Lose Heart. That's the simple, urgent command at the center of Jesus's parable of the persistent widow. In this sermon, We're challenged to rethink this familiar story, shifting the focus from the unjust judge to the persistent woman. The "Santa Persista" whose "pluck and courage" force change. Drawing on the work of Howard Thurman and Richard Rohr, The Rev. Mike Angell argues that true Christianity is not a system of "order" or a set of rules, but a thread of faith that carries us through seasons of "disorder". This is an invitation to let your faith be stretched between what was and what can be, and to embrace the persistent justice-seeking the Holy Spirit busy re-making faith across the globe.

    2025/10/12

    Feeling like the world you knew is vanishing? In this sermon, The Rev. Mike Angell helps us explore the ancient words of the prophet Jeremiah to find a radical, spiritual response to our modern-day "exile". Forget waiting for the Rapture. The real work is to "seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you," or as the Hebrew commands: to work for the Shalom (wholeness, justice, and peace) of our very captors. Discover how our call to generosity and justice is not just a nice idea, but the defiant, transformative way we find our own peace in strange and threatening times.

  • Living the Message - The Rev. Simone Lilith Drinkwater
    2025/10/05

    Join us this beautiful Sunday as The Rev. Simone Lilith Drinkwater preaches about the wild energy of scripture—from divine sarcasm to radical humility. We reflect on St. Francis, the saint who embodied the gospel more than he preached it. What does it mean to be called a “fool” by Jesus—and how does Francis change the tone? We talk about encountering God in unexpected places, even in the natural world. And we remember: sometimes the loudest gospel is the one lived, not spoken.

    2025/09/28
