Truth and Where to Find It

Sermon | May 22, 2016

May 22, 2016, The Rev. Kate Wesch preaching

For us, for Christians, this is the one big TRUTH, and it is the same for you and for me. You are a beloved child of God and God loves you. Knowing that truth and accepting it allows you to step into the next stage of the journey, the part where the Spirit of Truth will guide you. The Spirit of Truth always guides you to belovedness – this I believe – to your own belovedness, or your child’s belovedness, or your neighbor’s belovedness.

Sermon | May 15, 2016

Sermon | April 10, 2016

April 10, 2016, The Rev. Kate Wesch preaching

And Jesus patiently remained that net, never giving up, ever present to catch Peter in the net, to bear him up one more time. Jesus called him Peter “the rock” when things were going well and always “Simon, son of John” when he meant business, but Jesus was always there—Peter’s net that would not tear.
