Shelter From the Storm

Sermon | October 16, 2016

October 16, 2016, The Rev. Todd Foster preaching

God will create a space of safety for God’s people to pursue relationship with God and with one another. God will create a shelter which allows us to let our guard down, to be vulnerable, and thereby to discover new strengths in ourselves and new connections to those around us.

Looking for Lazarus

Sermon | September 25, 2016

September 25, 2016, The Rev. Doyt L. Conn, Jr. preaching

So I invite you to look for Lazarus. He or she is nearer than you think, and they might not look like what you expect. Their need is more likely of the soul, than of food or money or medical care. In fact in this city, it is way more likely we will find an emaciated soul than an emaciated body. So take the risk. Step more deeply into the community God has set you in. Stop at the threshold of your gate; listen to someone’s story; tell your own.

Let the Lie Die

Sermon | August 21, 2016

August 21, 2016, The Rev. Doyt L. Conn, Jr. preaching

This is the nature of lies put upon us. We come to own them and let them grow in our souls. They become like the air we breathe. They are like a frog in the pot of boiling water. They become our truths, and they bind us, and we don’t even know it. They start with Satan, the Father of Lies, but then they grow as we own them and nurture them and in some cases we come to believe they are the best thing about us.
