Sermons by Lori Leopold (Page 13)
Unity Versus Uniformity
How can the church maintain “unity” without sacrificing justice and a firm commitment to beliefs or practices that seem essential to life grounded in the Gospel?
To the Church of God in Pacific Beach
We look forward to diving into some tough questions together as we draw alongside Paul, the church in Corinth and one another to be guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit, holding us all.
Blessings
On this 4th Sunday of Advent, we spend time with Mary and Elizabeth, two expectant mothers who encounter one another with love, care and blessing. How do we understand blessings and in what contexts do we experience them?
Festival of Christmas
Join us in celebrating Festival of Christmas, a musical celebration by Mary MacDonald
Despite Fear
The angel’s words, “Do not be afraid,” are words that are repeated over and over again throughout scripture. What did Mary make of those words? What do they mean to us as we move through this Advent season? How do we take them to heart and what difference do they make in our own lives that are so often touched by anxiety and fear?
From Generation to Generation
In this time of waiting, watching, hoping, praying how can we stay attentive to the movement of God’s Spirit?
We Remember Them
Has a loved one in your life passed this year? Join us as we light candles and remember the saints of our lives.
Supersize
How much is “enough” and what does God want from us when it comes to managing our resources?
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?
Is Jesus still in the habit of inviting himself over for dinner? How might we respond to such an invitation? And how would our response shape our ability and desire to gather at Christ’s table with siblings near and far, like us and very different?
Holding Fast to Life
We continue in the Gospel of Luke, a gospel that focuses our attention again and again on our use of resources and our treatment of those in society who are most vulnerable.
