This Lent, we’re journeying through a sermon series inspired by Amy-Jill Levine’s Entering the Passion of Jesus, exploring the bold risks Jesus took in his final days—through the eyes of the women who encountered him. This week, we hear from Veronica, the woman who bled for twelve years before reaching out in faith to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. Her story didn’t end with her healing—it change...

Join us as we explore Luke 9:28-36 and the powerful moment of Jesus' transfiguration. What does it mean to be changed by faith rather than simply captivated by it? Hear how Jesus calls us to be transfigured, not transfixed, by our own encounters with the Divine. From the mountain of glory to the difficult road of discipleship, we unpack how Jesus calls us to transformation, not stagnation.

This week, we dive into one of Jesus’ most challenging teachings from Luke 6:27-38—loving our enemies, turning the other cheek, and giving without expecting anything in return. It’s the kind of passage that makes us want to ask, “Jesus—do I have to?”

The last few weeks we have been deep in the Gospel of Luke, walking alongside what has been for some of us a very surprising version of Jesus—and this week’s text is no different! Jesus’ words risks giving us whiplash between the happy are yous and the terrible for yous. Have you ever heard something so unexpected, so completely different from the way we usually think about the world, that it made...

Today we lean into Luke 5:1-11 (The Message) and the moment when exhausted fishermen, overwhelmed and unsure, encounter Jesus in a way that changes everything. What does this story teach us about faith when life feels confusing, anxious, or too much to handle?

Many of us wrestle with the tension between conviction and hope, and how letting go of our narrow expectations of God can empower us to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly. Today we explore Luke 4:16-30 and Jesus' startling rejection in his hometown. Why did the people of Nazareth turn on him when he proclaimed a message of radical inclusion? How does this moment challenge our own expectations...

Lately, it’s been hard stepping into the pulpit with a message of hope. Yet the Spirit reminds us that we are called to speak with bravest fire at all times, and calls us to speak a word of Love to a fractured world.

In the small village of Cana, weddings were more than just personal celebrations; they were communal events filled with joy, honor, and hospitality. And opportunities to do ministry in every moment.

Today, we step into the familiar story of the Magi following a star. But rather than dwelling on their gifts or their journey, Rev. A asks us to focus on the courage it took to defy the most powerful man in Judea—Herod.

Revelation as a hope text?! Sure thing! This is a passage which invites us to find the hope and joy that is possible when this are hard if when we give thanks for the reign of Christ.

All Saints Sunday calls us into a space of reverence, where we hold the memories of loved ones, mentors, and friends who walked with us in faith. Hear Rev. A’s message recorded on November 3rd 2024 as we observe this holy day of remembering.

This week has been especially fraught as our political divides in our society widen. How will the church respond? Hear this message from Rev. A in the aftermath of this week’s events.

Welcome to the final installation of our 2024 spooky season series on (Holy) Ghost Stories, where we really lean into the unofficial observance of all things fall and October-esque here in New England. This week you are invited to listen to Saul’s encounter with a blinding light and a mysterious, hidden voice.

Welcome to week two of our spooky season series on (Holy) Ghost Stories, where we really lean into the unofficial observance of all things fall and October-esque here in New England. Which means we are taking our Biblical texts and retelling them in a way that re-introduces us to some of the important moments and people of our faith.

October means a return of our ghost stories series - HOLY ghost stories, that is. This month we are really leaning into our New England love for all things fall flavored-including the unofficial observance of October’s spooky season.

Our text today comes from Hebrews. This is indeed a rich and complex scripture reading, don’t you think? And it certainly is an appropriate text for today, a rich and complex day in the life of the church: World Communion Sunday.

I have a simple question for you: "How you doin'?" It's a question we hear often but may not always answer honestly. Sometimes we say, "I'm fine" or "I'm doing well" because it's easier than diving into the chaos of our lives. So today, let's sit with that question: "How you doin'?" and consider how, even in the midst of chaos, God calls us to stay connected—to each other and to the community—as a...

Welcome back home! We have returned after our summer of “Brunch Church” outdoors and are ready to welcome you all home. Rev. Alicia returns to the pulpit with the story of Joshua and his important question to the Israelites AND us: who does your house serve?

Back to the basics: baptism

Saying grace is a practice that transcends time and culture, But, sometimes it can be really difficult to “say grace,” when the world around us feels like it’s on fire. So why should we say grace in moments when it’s hard? Because it is about more than merely giving thanks. It’s an invitation to something more.

The kingdom of God is like.. ourselves here by the lakeshore in Capernaum, sitting with Jesus and the crowd which has gathered, as he teaches about the Kingdom of God and the infinite possibilities there are to experience it.

Today, we gather to explore the profound call found in 2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1—a call to live authentically Christian lives which embody mercy, justice, and compassion. You know - Lives where we aren’t just speaking about how God is present in our lives, but LIVING as if we are always in the Presence of God

We have been on a bit of a pilgrimage together. We have been witness to what I like to think of as God’s love letter to Creation, as we find it in our scriptures. And throughout that love letter, there is a common theme: Presence as Love in action.

When God asks, “Who should we send?”into the world, Isaiah responds with a confident, “here I am. Send me!” Isaiah’s encounter with God offers a powerful blueprint for renewal in our churches and in our society. But we have to show up first.
