Naked As We Came: Perfect Parent, Perfect Child

Zao MKE Church ·

2022/02/17

Every new parent thinks their newborn baby is perfect, right? Well God thought that about you at the moment of your creation, and unlike human parents, the shine never wore off. Sometimes we talk about God as the "perfect Father" - but what if God thinks of you as the perfect child?

Naked As We Came: Trust

Zao MKE Church ·

2022/02/17

What does it mean to trust in God? Do we trust God with the vulnerability of a newborn baby? Should we? In faith spaces, we often take for granted the idea that trusting in God is important, but in this episode we'll unpack what we mean by trust and whether trust, even in God, must be built in relationship.

Naked As We Came: Surrender

Zao MKE Church ·

2022/02/17

We come into this world through irresistible forces of movement and change. Through our lives, we learn to resist change. What if we released our resistance and surrendered to the flow of creation?

Naked As We Came: Suffering

Zao MKE Church ·

2022/02/17

Try as we may, we cannot avoid suffering - for ourselves or for our loved ones. What does the suffering of the innocent tell us about humanity, creation, and the nature of God?

Naked As We Came: Delight

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/10/22

“The joy of the lord is your strength” - Nehemiah 8:10 When we arrive on this earth, everything we take in everything with wide-eyed wonder. What if that’s a feature we aren’t supposed to age out of? Though many of us wear cynicism like an armor, the call of God is to earnest joy and delight wherever we can find it. An attitude of delight us vulnerable, but also gives us strength for the beautiful life we were born for.

Naked As We Came: Unashamed

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/10/11

"Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there" - Job 1:21 We are born naked into this world - unashamed, vulnerable, and ready to be loved. Through the worries and wounds of our lives, we acquire shame, emotional armor, and a fear that we are unlovable. The love of Jesus calls us to return, naked and unashamed, into the embrace of our loving God. Join us this Sunday as our pastors return from parental leave and reflect on what it means to be born and born again.

How To Come Back

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/10/11

Guest sermon by Rev. Hannah Kardon We aren't the first people to, in fits and starts, begin to return to old ways of life after a long and traumatic disruption. A few thousand years ago, the Israelites under the leadership of Ezra and Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem and The Temple after seventy years of exile. From them, we can learn a bit about what is needed to make a new life out of rubble, to remember and re-build what we've lost, and find strength to change all the things that weren't so

Reclaiming Church

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/10/11

J.J. Warren preaches from Acts 11, challenging us to be like Peter: to respond to the voice of God, which calls us to move beyond the boundaries that keep us apart from our fellow humans and the doctrines that keep queer people out of UMC pulpits.

You are the Light of the World

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/09/19

Guest sermon by Derrick Scott The folks who received the Sermon on the Mount were probably surprised to hear these words being said to them. The call to be salt and light for the sake of the world goes out to everyone, but especially to everyday, ordinary individuals. And the world is waiting on us to respond.

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/09/12

Guest sermon by Rev. Dr. Jay Williams, Pastor at Union Church Boston Loving self (body) is a process of unlearning… self criticism, self hate, self loathing - it is the rejection of how we’ve been shaped by society. Being beloved of God and the body of Christ is accompanied by transformation of the mind.

Hot Body Summer: Attending to Our Sacred Bodies

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/09/12

Guest sermon by Cor Christophe, Zao community member We believe God created us and most of us claim, believe, and/or have been told that because God created us, our bodies are sacred/holy. But what does it mean to have a sacred body? Are all bodies truly sacred? And how do we care for our sacred body? Join us this Sunday as we explore these questions, and examine how we may attend to our sacred/holy Bodies that God created.

Hot Body Summer: Binding the Strongman

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/08/22

Guest sermon by Rev. Jason Butler Our bodies represent a power but our question is always, “How will that power be used”? For good or not so much? When Jesus encounters the religious leaders he is facing strongmen who are oppressing the people. How does Jesus respond? And where are our bodies in this story?

The Economics of Grace

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/07/25

Guest sermon by Rev. Ryan Wallace, Associate Pastor of Faith Formation at First Presbyterian Church of Libertyville The norms and values of capitalism are consistently at odds with the norms and values of the Gospel. Our economy conditions us to believe that all relationships are transactional, all things have a quantifiable market value, and all resources are limited. When we—consciously or unconsciously—buy into this way of thinking and acting, the roots of injustice and inequality grow deeper in

Rest Creates Fertile Ground

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/07/11

Guest sermon by Rev. Jennifer Nordstrom, Senior Minister at First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee Stillness has a relationship with movement, just as the notes of a piece of jazz are punctuated by silence. As opposed to silence, stillness can be a frame for music, creativity, and teeming life. Stillness can serve as the ground for creativity, the rest that creates the next thing. Join us for this worship service that explores the relationship between rest and creativity.

Independence or Liberation?

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/07/04

Each 4th of July weekend, churches across the country wave flags and sing songs of patriotism. But is this commitment to national identity faithful? Or do we have other opportunities to celebrate alternative American histories that align less with colonizing empire and more with the Gospel message of freedom from oppression?

Sacred Rhythms: Can I Face The End?

Zao MKE Church ·

2021/07/04

When we come to the end of the Spiritual life cycle, we are invited to reflect on what we've learned. Where have we come from, and how are we different? Can we accept that this path is not what we thought it might be when we set out? We'll look to Jesus on the cross, facing transition from life to death. Though he will rise again in just 3 days, even Jesus must face the end of this cycle. How can we learn to accept where we have been to transform through spiritual ends into new beginnings on the
