“Big Hairy Audacious Goals”
Rev. Susan Haynes
Scripture: Luke 9: 28-36
In simple terms, a “Big Hairy Audacious Goal” is a long-term goal that causes excitement and energizes people. Jesus invites us to be a part of a “BHAG” in order to transform the world, the community around us, and even to transform ourselves.

Peer pressure, though often subtle, is a powerful force in our lives and it can affect us positively or negatively. We should follow only one role model to live as Christians – Jesus Christ, who tells us we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
February 2, 2020

“Who Dunked You?”
Rev. Jody Andrade
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1: 10-18
The church remains united when we have one purpose: to spread the gospel. When the Holy Spirit rolls through this place, bringing change to our congregation, we must remember to keep our eyes focused on Jesus.
January 19, 2020
“Playing in the Dirt”
Rev. Susan L. Haynes
Scripture: Psalm 40: 1-11
Quite often, we can feel like the author of this Psalm: overwhelmed, full of despair, stuck in our circumstances. When there appears to be no way out, we must trust that we are not alone, that God’s presence will be with us always.
January 12, 2020
“Wonder Water”
Rev. Susan L. Haynes
Scripture: Matthew 3: 13-17
Jesus himself went to the Jordan River to be baptized by John.

What difference does it make to anyone else that you have been marked by God’s love in the waters of baptism?
January 5, 2020

“Love Can’t Wait”
Rev. Jody Andrade
Scripture: Matthew 1: 18-35
Courage rises up from love. The courage to be quiet, to speak up, and to be vulnerable are in the Bible and in this world. Each type of courage is empowered by the unbounded love of God alive in the infant Christ on Christmas.
December 15, 2019
“When Fear Gives Way to Joy”
Rev. Susan L. Haynes
Scripture: Zephaniah 3: 14-20
We don’t get to Christmas joy by detouring around fear. We get there, as the carol ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’, written in 1868 proclaims, only by allowing the hopes and fears of all the years to meet one another at the event that occurred that holy night so long ago.
December 1, 2019
Rev. Susan L. Haynes
Scripture: Matthew 24: 36-44
“What Can’t Wait – Hope”
This passage from Matthew is about the second Advent of Christ…the second coming of Christ. It is not a passage of fear. It encourages action rather than apathy, hope rather than anxiety.

September 2019
September 29, 2019
Rev. Paul T. Roberts, Sr.
Scripture: Jeremiah 32:1-3; 6-15
In the time of Jeremiah, Jerusalem was under siege. And yet God demands him to do something unlikely: invest in a field. Generations later, God calls us to be stewards of his creation. With God’s help, we can bring renewed life to any situation.
September 22, 2019
September 15, 2019
Rev. Jennie Sankey
Scripture: Luke 15:1-10
While the parables of the “Lost Sheep” and the “Lost Coin” feature things that are lost, they are really about the One who finds them. God is like a shepherd who will seek the one missing sheep and God is like a women who turns her house over looking for a lost coin. When we build our lives around the good news of being found by God, joy overflows.
September 8, 2019
Rev. Jody Andrade
Scripture: Philemon 1:1-21
Society teaches us that when we get things, we get joy. Christ says just the opposite: it is only when we give ourselves away that we can live fully.
September 1, 2019
Rev. Jody Andrade
Scripture: Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16, Jeremiah 2:4-13
Because “all y’all” are made in God’s image, no one is excluded from drinking deeply from the fountain of life.
