The Seven Mile Walk

Worship, Apr 27

VIDEO. In the days after the crucifixion Jesus’ disciples were traumatized. Some stayed locked in their rooms, scared and depressed, while two walked the seven-mile road from Jerusalem to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-27). Pastor Harry invites us to join them on their walk this Sunday and welcome the Risen Christ into our midst as they did.

Opening Day

Worship, 6:30 (Caja), 9:30 (Fed Park), 11 (Sanctuary)

VIDEO. Trauma turns to terrified turns to remembering turns to amazement.  This is the sequence of Easter and holds the promise of new openings in our lives. Come discover these openings in three different places, 6:30 at the Caja del Rio, 9:30 at Federal Park, and 11:00 in our sanctuary. Our scripture this Easter Sunday is Luke 24:1-12.

The Seventh Dip

Worship, Mar 30

VIDEO. This is a story of cleansing, this time for Naaman, a commander in the army who suffered from leprosy. The prophet Elisha tells him to wash in the Jordan seven times. Come this Sunday to hear the story in II Kings 5 and find out what happens on the seventh dip.

The Greatest Form of Love

Worship Mar 23, 8:30 & 11am

VIDEO. Pastor Andrew digs into Jesus’ new commandment that challenges our understanding and role in the world. What is our role in loving those who feel unloved, cast out and marginalized? What are concrete ways that God’s transformational love is being lived out in our world? John 15:9-14 will help us. Watch the video.

Rare in These Days

Worship, Mar 16

VIDEO. The word of God was rare in the days of Samuel. Visions were not widespread. How do we discern God’s call today? Pastor Harry looks at I Samuel 3:1-14 to explore this thought. View the video of our 11:00 service and Pastor Harry’s message.

Jesus Began to Weep

Worship, Mar 9

VIDEO. The Gospels record Jesus weeping only twice, when he looks over Jerusalem shortly before he was crucified, and here in John 11:28-37. Why? And is he still? Join us as Pastor Harry leads us in seeking answers to those questions. Our 11:00 service is in the sanctuary and via livestream.

When they had come down from the mountain

Worship, Mar 2, 10am

VIDEO. Why can’t we just stay on the mountain with Jesus and live in peace and wonder and perpetual joy? On this Transfiguration Sunday, come and explore with Pastor Harry what it means to follow Jesus. The 10am service is in the sanctuary and via livestream.

Unroof the Roof

Worship, Feb 23, 8:30 & 11am

VIDEO. What do we do when our way to Jesus is blocked?  Instead of giving up four men literally “unroofed the roof” and their paralyzed friend was healed (Mark 2:1-12).  How do we do that today? Join us as Pastor Harry leads us in exploring answers to that question. Our 8:30 service is in Pope Hall and our 11:00 service is in the sanctuary and via livestream.

They Stood on a Level Place

Worship, Feb 16, 8:30 & 11am

VIDEO. The lectionary reading for this Sunday (Luke 6:17-26) is the other Beatitudes, but this time it is given on the Plain, and includes four blessings and four woes. Pastor Harry invites us to hear today what Jesus has to say about life in the Empire. The livestream is available through the Friday following the service, and the message portion is available on our Sunday Message page.

Strength for the Battle

Worship, Feb 9

VIDEO. How do we stand firm in our faith? How do we not panic in a world wrought with chaos, anxiety and injustice? How do we cultivate the external and internal resources needed to live a life faithful to Christ? Pastor Andrew helps us journey alongside the earliest Christians and delve into and discover faithful answers to these questions.

If I Speak

Worship, Feb 2, 10am

VIDEO. I Corinthians 13 is no longer preserved for weddings. Not anymore. It has a lot to teach us, so this Sunday Pastor Harry urges us to walk it down the aisle and out into the world. The day’s scripture is 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. Join us at 10:00 in the sanctuary and via livestream.

Into the Deep Waters

Worship, Jan 26, 8:30 & 11am

The disciples worked all night long and their nets came back empty, until Jesus showed them a new way to fish (Luke 5:1-11).  It’s all about living an abundant life. Pastor Harry invites you to come and see for yourself this Sunday. Join us at 8:30 in Pope Hall and 11:00 in the sanctuary and via livestream.
