Join is this Second Sunday of Advent as the Rev. Simone Lilith Drinkwater preaches about the deep connection between John the Baptist and Jesus, two fiery preachers whose lives and teachings challenged the status quo and opened new paths to God. Through their stories, we uncover the meaning of baptism, reconciliation, and the hope that sustains us in a broken world. Discover how Advent calls us to self-examination, repentance, and readiness for the reign of God breaking through around us.

In a world addicted to dread, Advent calls us to something deeper. This sermon wrestles with fear, explores Jesus’ words about keeping awake, and reminds us that waiting is not passive—it’s a call to justice. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the imprisoned: Advent is a countdown to God’s kingdom breaking in.”

Join us this Sunday and The Rev. Dr. Paul Hanneman preaches on what it really means to be “saved”? In this powerful sermon, we move beyond old stereotypes of salvation to discover its true essence: an experience of love, belonging, and transformation in the here and now. Through vivid stories—from childhood road trips to moments of grace in everyday life—we explore how God’s unqualified love calls us by name, invites us out of darkness, and empowers us to be light in the world. Tune in for a message of hope, identity, and the challenge to become “someone with skin” for others in need.

On the Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost our Director of Youth and Outreach, Angel Nalubega preaches on what it means to live faithfully in a world that feels uncertain and turbulent. Drawing from Isaiah and the Gospel of Luke, we hear the radical promise of God: “I am creating a new heaven and a new earth.” What does that look like when institutions fail, when chaos surrounds us, and when fear threatens to take hold?

This message invites us to see possibility in the midst of upheaval—where old systems crumble, new life emerges. Through stories of mutual aid, acts of love, and glimpses of the Holy Spirit at work, we are reminded that God’s vision of justice and renewal is not a distant dream but something we build together, here and now.

The Rev. Mike Angell explores Luke’s gospel through the lens of resurrection, identity, and the deeper purpose of faith. This sermon invites listeners to reflect on the true nature of Christian discipleship: not control, but liberation; not judgment, but grace. Especially poignant in the days following All Saints, it reminds us that our faith is rooted in mystery, presence, and the steady love of God.

“Don’t settle for small answers. Don’t settle for small Gods.”

Tune in and be inspired to go deeper.

On All Saints Day and Día de los Muertos, we reflect on the communion of saints, the thin veil between time and eternity, and the radical call to love—even our enemies. Featuring stories of resilience from Gaza and the Beatitudes’ upside-down values, this sermon invites us to live the reign of God in the present moment.

This week we dive into a powerful sermon that unpacks Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. Don't be too quick to judge the Pharisee. The Rev. Simone Drinkwater challenges us to look inward, revealing how we often repeat the same self-justifying logic when we define ourselves by what we are not or what we don't believe. Join us as we wrestle with God, embrace our shared imperfections, and learn to accept the profound, humbling gift or grace.

Don't Lose Heart. That's the simple, urgent command at the center of Jesus's parable of the persistent widow. In this sermon, We're challenged to rethink this familiar story, shifting the focus from the unjust judge to the persistent woman. The "Santa Persista" whose "pluck and courage" force change. Drawing on the work of Howard Thurman and Richard Rohr, The Rev. Mike Angell argues that true Christianity is not a system of "order" or a set of rules, but a thread of faith that carries us through seasons of "disorder". This is an invitation to let your faith be stretched between what was and what can be, and to embrace the persistent justice-seeking the Holy Spirit busy re-making faith across the globe.
