Sermon - 01-11-2026 - Dunkin' Do Nots - Rev. Melody Merida
Today is Baptism of the Lord Sunday in churches around the world. But what even is baptism in the 21st century? Just because Jesud did it, does that mean we should too?

Sermon - 01-04-2026 - Fear Doesn't Stop Us - Rev. Melody Merida
As we end the series, Herod is still in power. Christ is born, yet it feels as if the world has not changed. The temptation to give up is strong, especially in the face of violence. But the magi don’t let Herod’s fear-driven demands stop them from honoring the newborn Christ or returning home by a different way.

Sermon - 12-07-2025 - When We're Running out of Hope, God is at Work - Rev. Dr. Ron Zorn
Is my hope solely dependent upon outcomes, tangible proof, or positive change? Can I practice hope even when I don’t see the fruits of my labor? Do I trust that God is at work, even if I cannot always see it? Might God be at work in ways I don’t expect? This week in our series is about cultivating a gritty and resilient hope that is not easily diminished by our doubts and fears.

Sermon - 11-30-2025 - In the Time of Herod, We Long for God to Break in - Melody Merida
Both Luke and Matthew begin their gospels by orienting us within “the time of King Herod,” and so we begin the series by fleshing out what it might have been like to live in the days when Jesus was born—a time not all that different from our own.

Sermon - 11-23-2025 - The Upside Down Kingdom - Rev. Bere Gil Soto
Today is Christ the King Sunday on the global church calendar. What might it mean for us to celebrate a king who does not behave like the earthly kings we have known?

Sermon - 11-16-2025 - Is This the End? - Melody Merida
The world seems to be getting worse. But our calling in God is to hope, and to trust that what we see and feel, is not all there is at work in this world.

Sermon - 11-09-2025 - True or False? - Melody Merida
Not all traditions are brittle and dead. Even when God's people forget the old stories of their faith, God's truth has a way of speaking for itself.

Sermon - 11-02-2025 - Epic Meltdowns: Peter in Denial - Melody Merida
Peter's denial of Jesus broke his own heart. How could he ever recover from turning his back on the Son of God?
