Harrowing Of Hell

Pentecost: Content vs Context

May 15, 2016, The Rev. Doyt. L. Conn, Jr. preaching

I don’t know much about the Holy Sprit, but I know this: that she is dynamically involved in that space between my life and God’s love, and between my life and your life, and between your life and God’s love. And there is not one person in the entire world not included in this pattern. Each person in the network of humanity has an deep, rich, significant story in every case.

Trinity Sunday: Belief

May 31, 2015, The Rev. Kate Wesch

Where are you in your journey of belief? Can you identify with Nicodemus somewhere along his trajectory of skepticism, to belief, to belief in Christ?

The Call of Gideon

September 21, 2014, The Rev. Kate Wesch preaching

As a species, we seem to harbor an overly healthy amount of self-doubt, particularly when something is outside our comfort zone. So in today’s sermon, I’m going to introduce a new theme building upon what Doyt has been talking about from this pulpit. Two weeks ago, Doyt stood up here and said, “We need to talk.” Last Sunday, he said, “I’m sorry. You are forgiven.” We need to talk. I’m sorry. You are forgiven. I’m going to add: Just do it. I believe in you.

Stressed Out

February 16, 2014, The Rev. Doyt Conn preaching

So here it is: Choose life, not stress. Choose God first and not the body, and stress will fall away, and the body will still be OK. Learn something about God by heart and make space for your soul to breathe. This is intentional evolution beyond the biology of fight and flight. This is the express train to the Promise Land and it is what I hope for our children and our children’s children. It is what we can pass onto them, if we possess it ourselves.
