Sermons on Matthew
Epiphany
On this Epiphany Sunday, we begin a series on how we read our Bibles, which can be an epiphany for us—a sudden and beautiful awareness of the divine.
By How & What You Give
Continuing our Stewardship series, we explore Jesus’ parable of the talents (the valuable coins). This parable reminds us that we are given gifts that must be nurtured to grow.
By Who & How You Love
As we continue our Stewardship series, we explore Jesus’ parable on sowing seeds in different kinds of soil. This parable reminds us that we must be prepared to receive the seeds of God’s love offered to us. But how do we know we’re ready?
Tradition of the Elders
Adam Marshall explores Jesus’ attitude towards tradition and invites us to consider the role of tradition in our lives and in our faith.
Choosing to Listen
This Sunday is the last Sunday before Advent, a Sunday traditionally understood as Christ the King Sunday.
Risking Love
This Sunday we continue with the Revised Common Lectionary and a familiar parable of Jesus that invites us to take risks for the sake of faith.
Do as I Say, Not as I Do
This Sunday we return to the Revised Common Lectionary and a text from Matthew that invites us to consider our motives for doing good in the world.
Step Up: Service
This Sunday we continue our Stewardship exploration with a discussion of the importance of our service to those in our faith community and in our general communities.
Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin?
This week’s sermon deals with a phrase used too often as a weapon, especially toward our LGBTQI siblings.
Giving Up Popularity
This Palm Sunday, we continue our Lenten series called “Giving It Up” as we consider the value of being unpopular.
