Sermon for The First Sunday After Christmas Day: Word, Life, Light

The Rev. Alissa Newton
text: Luke 6:17-26

"Jesus does not believe in binaries. That last statement might surprise you, if you were paying attention to our gospel reading just now. 'Blessed are you who are poor…. woe to you who are rich
Blessed are you who are hungry….woe to you who are full.' I mean, these sound a lot like binaries, don’t they? It’s true that they aren’t the rankings we are used to, but isn’t Jesus basically sorting people here? I don’t think so. I think Jesus is doing something even more radical than flipping binaries – in this sermon on the level place, Jesus is complicating , and maybe even collapsing, them.

The Sixth Sunday After Epiphany: Welcome to The Level Place

The Rev. Dan Morrow
text: Matthew 3:13-17

"This is the basic problem with basing our own self-worth, or the self-worth of others, on anything besides the compassionate and all-encompassing love of God. Values based on anything else are by virtue of the fact of their finitude ultimately divisive. In other  words, God’s infinite love for you and for me and for all creation is the only thing big enough to define everything and hold everything together in love. Every other thing that seeks to define is too small."

Baptism of Jesus: You Are Beloved

The Rev. Alissa Newton
text: Deuteronomy 30:15-20, Matthew 5:21-37

"If all I have to do is not kill you, well I can do that and go on my way, do what I need to do. But if what I'm actually charged with is loving you, taking care of you, being in touch with this baseline reality that we belong to each other and that is how we enter into relationship with God? Then suddenly just not killing you doesn't seem like I'm fulfilling the assignment, does it?"

The 5th Sunday of Easter: There is No Fear in Love

The Rev. Meghan Mullarkey
Text: 2 Samuel 11:1-15 & John 6:1-21

"Where the crowd only say 5 loaves and two fish, Jesus saw food to feed thousands. 

This way of being in the world is not for us to judge others who have less, but instead to look around at your life and wonder- where do you see scarcity where Jesus sees abundance?  This is our question this morning.  Where do you see scarcity in your own life, where Jesus sees abundance?

How do we dislodge ourselves from this scarcity mentality that leads us to a mindset of competition, consumerism, and ultimately exhaustion.  How do we move towards the abundance of God that leads to freedom and new life?"

The 25th Sunday After Pentecost: It's An Old Tale

The Rev. Meghan Mullarkey
Text: Mark 13:1-8

"Remember apocalypse means revelation.  Maybe we need both - an apocalyptic dooms day imagination and an eschatological hope-filled imagination - so we can both speak to the current reality that we are experiencing, while still imagining and demanding a different way together that all point towards God's promises and God's Kingdom that is here and now."
