Online Worship: Second Sunday of Advent

“Just have a little faith!” Our culture often frames faith as something we can force into existence by sheer willpower. On the other hand, the words of a much-loved hymn point to God’s faith: “Great is thy faithfulness!” God shows up for us in baptismal waters, in bread and cup, in the word proclaimed, and […]

Online Worship: First Sunday of Advent

Care is often conflated with love. But care is characterized by devotion, consistency, attention to detail, and some sense of obligation. It may require specialized skills, or it may just require time. Either way, care requires consistent investment—attention provided over the long haul. Scripture is full of examples of God’s care for us, especially in […]

Online Worship: Reformation Sunday

Grace, love, and warm fuzzies. Wait…what’s wrong with that? Today for Reformation Sunday we celebrate God’s amazing grace, but we also remember that God will not be controlled by our whims, desires or emotions. Christ is not waiting on the sidelines to step in as our backup. Even when life reminds us (painfully) that we […]

Online Worship: Season of Creation—Sky

As a mirror for the earth below, the skies surround this planet with every emotion, from awe to joy to sorrow to terror. We see the skies weep over violence and bloodshed, and rejoice with the beauty and glory of God’s power. The skies remind us that “we are never alone. We just need to […]

Online Worship: Season of Creation—Humanity

To rule or to serve? Humanity’s relationship with creation is complicated and messy. Sometimes we use it and discard it; sometimes we do our best to care for it; often we make mistakes. Jesus calls us to a life of service, listening not only to our fellow human beings, but to creation as well. It’s […]

Online Worship: Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost

What goes up must come down. The first shall be last, and the last shall be first. Easy come, easy go. The theme of reversal runs throughout our readings today, as luck begins to change for Haman and Mordecai in the book of Esther. Alongside the Esther story, we hear Jesus’ words about God’s justice, […]
