Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room - The Hospitality of God

Hospitality is at the heart of who God is, and it's on full display in the Christmas story. In this sermon, Abby explores three moments of God's hospitality in John's account of the incarnation and invites us to receive his hospitality this Christmas with the heart of a child.

Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room - The Visitation

When God invites Mary to live a miraculous story of faith, he does not invite her to live it alone. What might that say about God? On this third week of Advent, Jordan explores this question and more with a reflection on Mary and Elizabeth's interaction in Luke 1:35-45.

Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room - Making Room for God

When Mary said “yes” to the angel Gabriel, she was saying “yes” to making room in her life for God. In this sermon, Abby explores a biblical understanding of hospitality, shares some stories of hospitality, and invites us to discern where and how God might be asking us to make room for him and others.

The Bread and the Cup - Week Three

When Jesus gave thanks at the last supper, he set an example for us.

God, Politics, and the Church - Week Four

How do we seek first the Kingdom of God while also faithfully engaging in politics?

God, Politics, and the Church - Week Three

Resisting Politics of Fear
While our partisan politics often rely on paralyzing fear that casts out love, the Gospel truth we’re invited to live is perfect love that casts out fear. In this sermon, Adam explores how we can engage the political process while resisting the politics of fear. 

God, Politics, and the Church - Week Two

"How do you know that you've developed a disordered attachment with politics?"
After looking at an example of disordered attachment in the book of Exodus, Adam invites us to consider this question and more in this week's sermon - the second in our "God, Politics, and the Church" series.
