On Easter Sunday, Pastor Scott Crowder spoke from John 20:1-18. I this sermon hear how Jesus's tomb went from being the saddest place in the world to the most helpful location on earth. Looking at John's gospel we find Mary Magdalene, Peter, John, and the disciples "staying" with Jesus in multiple ways. "Those who love me I love, and those who search for me will find me." (Prov. 8:17, REB)

We can live holy now for we are connected to God's love and purposes for our lives.

On the 15th Sunday of Ordinary time, this sermon from Romans 13:8-14 was given by Rev. Debbie Kemp. Listen as Debbie talks about faithfully following God in difficult situations and times.

Our bottom line is this -- love does no wrong.

On the 14th Sunday of Ordinary time, this sermon from Romans 12:9-21 was given by Pastor Scott Crowder. The Christian life should never be communicated as life serving God and fulfilling divine obligations. By the pouring out of the Holy Spirit our lives become empowered with the capacity to overcome evil with good. In this way, the Christian life can be defined as being love in action.

On the 13th Sunday of Ordinary time, this sermon from Romans 12:1-8 was given by Pastor Scott Crowder. Listen and hear how by the mercies of God we can live faithful lives unto God.

On the 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time, this sermon from Romans 11 was given by Pastor Scott Crowder. Listen and hear about Paul's love for the Jewish people and how far he would go for this love even as it appeared God was doing a new thing.  This sermon is an invitation to neither overinflate our importance in God's work nor should we isolate ourselves from those that God is working through in different ways than us. In a narcissistic age, this sermon is an encouragement to embrace God's work in the larger church while finding rest for our souls in what we've been given to do.

On the 11th Sunday of Ordinary time, this sermon from Romans 10:5-15 was given by Pastor Scott Crowder. Listen and hear how the faithfulness of God is for us helping us not only overcome the world but to be present with the world in crisis. God is not just right. God makes things right. God is righteous and by grace calls the Church to this right-making action for the life of the world.

On the 10th Sunday after Pentecost (also called the 9th Sunday of Ordinary Time), Pastor Scott Crowder continues a series on the book of Romans. This week we read from Romans 9:1-5 examining Paul's expression of sacrificial love for his own ethnic family, the Jewish people. This kind of love represents God's heart for all of humanity as seen in Jesus going to the cross for the sins of the world. This kind of love is how Jesus calls us to carry the burden of the world. Christians are called to follow the loving way of Jesus and to put away any feelings of superiority that might exist because of what we believe or any certainty gained by receiving God's grace and mercy. This is the sermon of the week.

On the 9th Sunday after Pentecost (also called the 9th Sunday of Ordinary Time), Pastor Scott Crowder continues a series on the book of Romans. This week we read from Romans 8:26-39.  God does not stand apart from the distress of Creation and so the Church, the Body of Christ, is not to be removed from the pain of the world. Be encouraged as you listen to this message which seeks to show how God meets us in crisis and calls us to be near to those who are going through hard times. No matter the season or trial we find ourselves in we can rejoice and say that thou art with me!
