A Life Worthy of the Calling

Sermon | August 2, 2015

August 2, 2015, The Rev. Kate Wesch preaching

Everyone has a life worthy and everyone has a gift. Stop to consider that for a moment. What is your gift? Is your gift listening, creating, building, teaching, being patient, welcoming, organizing? What is your God given gift?

The Light Behind the Light

Sermon | February 9, 2014

February 9, 2014, The Rev. Doyt Conn preaching

It doesn’t matter who you are standing next to, the backlight is the backlight is the backlight. And here is the take away: when we focus on the backlight as the thing itself judgment falls away and joy wins the day. It’s worth pondering if you feel like you have more judgment in your life than joy.

Holy Land, Holy Fire

Sermon | May 12, 2013

May 12, 2013, The Rev Doyt Conn preaching

I am back from the Holy Land as you can see. It is good to be home! The last time you saw me I was standing here with other pilgrims being commissioned by you for this sacred journey. I am happy to report that I have returned with all 18… which means I’m still a 100% on bringing pilgrims back from the Holy Land. That’s pretty good; actually that is sort of the bare minimum. Israel, as any of our pilgrims will tell you, is a safe and fascinating place. The real blessing is that they didn’t ditch me there.

Reconciled with God

Sermon | March 10, 2013

March 10, 2013, The Rev Doyt Conn preaching

The Prodigal son is a story about balance and the deep desire to have balance in one’s life. I know what that feels like. Sometimes things seem a little out of balance. I don’t sleep enough, or eat right, or play enough with the dog. All of which may be true, but none of which Paul is taking about when he talks about reconciliation with God.
