On the 10 Commandments
Some weeks I find more in the Scriptural text, or my research thereof, than I can share in a standard sermon, and I have to choose what to include lest I preach longer than our average attention span cares to engage. With that in mind, and with so much good material drawn particularly from the inimitable Walter Brueggemann’s “Exodus” portion of The New Interpreter’s Bible Volume 1, I thought I’d share more here on our blog. Blessings to you who choose to visit and read!
Now That Faith Has Come (Book Study)
Join the Women’s Fall Bible Study with Rev. Meredith Joubert! Beginning Thursday, August 17, we will study the book of Galatians in a Beth Moore and Melissa Moore study called “Now That Faith Has Come”.
Making Sense of the Bible (Book Study)
The world’s bestselling, most-read, and most-loved book is also one of the most confusing. In Making Sense of the Bible, Adam Hamilton, one of the country’s leading pastors and Christian authors, addresses the hot-button issues that plague the church and cultural debate, and answers many of the questions frequently asked by Christians and non-Christians alike.
How To Be Perfec …t (Book Study)
Join with others this fall for a fun and information consideration of… moral philosophy? Written by Michael Schur (creator of The Good Place, co-creator of Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine and contributing writer/actor on The Office), How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question is a hilarious, thought-provoking guide to living an ethical life, drawing on 2,400 years of deep thinking from around the world. With humor and wisdom, Schur invites readers to the core journey of morality and ethics – to be better tomorrow than they were today.

“Methodism 201”

In these four sessions we will focus on the historical setting of 18th Century England, in which John and Charles Wesley began the Methodist movement
Portrayals of Jesus (aka “The Gospel According to…”)
This January, in our traditional worship services Rev. Ron Bartlow is returning to a series of sermons he shared with us in August, 2021, examining the portrayals of Jesus in the four gospels.
A Theology of Paying Attention
John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, challenged us to say “I am no longer my own but thine. Put me to what you will. Rank me with whom you will.” In other words, put me with the people you want me to be in relationship with, and then use me to do your good work. In order for this to happen, we have to pay attention to the people around us.
