Sermons for a Critical Faith

A Critical Faith:  After the Sermon - Conversations on Hope | Sue Coller | February 5, 2023 Join us for a conversation on HOPE. Where does it come from and why it is important?   Why is it important to seek the welfare of everyone, not just us?   Where does the message ‘grow where you are planted’ come from? And why is it important to do so? Why is it important to focus on...

No one likes to go through pain or waiting seasons. But we trust that God always has more for us ahead. We're all waiting for the good part. In today's message Dr. Sue reminds us that sometimes the good part is not just for us, but for others as well. February 5, 2023 - Sue Coller - First Presbyterian Church | Get to the Good Part

God's Got Your Back! No matter if it's your story on money, forgiveness or anything else you can trust God to have your back and be faithful to you. It's time to re-write your story with God at the center! January 29, 2023 - Sue Coller - First Presbyterian Church Restoring Healthy Relationships

What if our faith and our finances aren't meant just for us? What if God wants to use our faith and our finances to serve other people? In this message Pastor Sue Coller shares a powerful message on how we can use what we have right where we are. January 22, 2023 - Sue Coller - First Presbyterian Church How Your Faith Can Show Up For Others

The way of Jesus is opposite of the ways of the world. What if the way to God had more to do with how we treat others than what we accomplish on our own? In this week's message, "Who's in Control? God or Money?" we are studying how to stop keeping score to get ahead and instead focus on God's way.   January 15, 2023 - Sue Coller - First Presbyterian Church Who's In Control?  God or Money...

We all have our money stories that we have been taught. In "It's Time to Write a New Money Story" we're challenged to trust that God is trying to show us a new money story and show us provision in unexpected ways and unexpected places. January 08, 2023 - Sue Coller - First Presbyterian Church

In, "How Did We Go From Joy To Crying This Christmas?", Pastor Raymond Meester teaches on how God's entire purpose of the Bible brings us back to Godself to remind us that God is always Immanuel, God With Us.  January 01, 2023 - Raymond Meester

It’s Christmas Eve, and tonight we tell again the familiar story of God being born among us. Love in the flesh. Some of us need to hear it because we’ve faced a tough year, and our hearts need it.  We also tell it to remind ourselves that this story is told in many ways every day, and so tonight we ask: where do you fit in the Christmas story? Because Christmas isn’t just once a year. A sermo...

A Critical Faith Sermon by Rev. Dr. Sue Coller.

What do you do when faced with an impossible situation? One path hurts someone you love, another has you carrying your own private hurt inside. Rarely do our lives go the way we plan. Which means that the question is always before you – how will you respond? Will you choose the better way – and what is that better way?  A Sermon by Rev. Dr. Sue Coller, on Matthew 1:18-25

A Critical Faith Sermon by Rev. Dr. Sue Coller.

What does it mean to have hope when you turn on the news and hear of three mass shootings in one week? At Christmas, we sing that Hope is born in Christ – but what does that really mean? And does it ask anything of us? What does it mean to have hope in the one who was born 2000 years ago, when the world is still broken and hurting today?

Thoughts on Thanksgiving and Gratitude in a complicated world, this Thanksgiving week.

Is faith private or public? Personal or communal?  A gift, for your own peace of mind, or a gift to be used for the common good? Those are the questions that are wrapped up in today’s scripture reading, from Mark 2:1-12, which challenges us to take faith to a level that isn’t always comfortable. Trigger Warning - there is a story about suicide in the podcast.
