Losing My Religion: A Community Called Grace

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/09/19

Losing My Religion: A Community Called Grace The legacy that we offer to our world is holding space, holding on to another, throwing our arms around more and more people, expanding the tent, working through conflict, and cultivating a vibrant community of grace. This calling comes from our baptism. This legacy is extended by us investing in a community of grace. Based on scripture: James 3:13-4:8

Losing My Religion: Words Matter

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/09/12

Words Matter: Words can change the course of our lives (from parents and teachers and coaches and mentors), and words transform our world. They can inspire us to action. They can degenerate us into fear and hate. As James tells us, the tongue can set the whole world on fire. The words of religious people and religion itself matter! - Based on Scripture from James 3:1-12

Grace Is A Verb

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/09/06

All are welcome. All are affirmed. All are celebrated. All are helped. All are lent a hand. No “Shalom” empty words. Instead, we fill the empty belly. We don’t have beliefs. We have actions that come from a faith/faithful space of grace.

A Grace Based Faith

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/08/29

Give, be generous, grow, generate - God gives. We give. Create space around you for others. Be humble and meek and kind and compassionate. Do the word. Act. Make. Be. Don’t just listen. Don’t let it just go in one ear and out the other. Let it resonate and reverb inside of you. Real religion takes care of people in need - orphans and widows, we are ready to take care of you!

Losing My Religion: Trust, Not Transaction

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/08/22

Losing My Religion: Grace-Based Faith -- Trust, Not Transaction: God is not a genie. Religion often is a “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” exchange. Life happens. Trials and tribulations are experienced. They makes us mature, complete. We worship a generous God who gives to us, comes alongside of us, and is here with us in the midst of the sufferings and difficulties. When we say we have faith, belief, trust, it is in this - not the transaction, not that God is going to magically rescue us,

I've Been Meaning To Ask... Where Do We Go From Here?

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/08/08

Where Do We Go From Here: Based on Scripture Acts 20:13-37 How we say goodbye- What's Next? Where Do We Go From Here? When will I see you again? Where are you going? Exploring Death, Separation, Loss and Recovery & Resurrection. Curiosity about others (and ourselves and God) should lead us through the hard transitions of life - should remind us that these transitions are needed - even the final one. Birth - Death - New Birth/Resurrection

I've Been Meaning To Ask... Where are you from? part 2

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/07/31

Where Are You From? Who are you really? Tell me about yourself. Your story, your journey, your background. We believe that goodness can come from the dirt, that faith can come from doubt, that minds can be changed, that justice can begin with us, and that something good can come from Nazareth. We believe all these things, because we believe that God is more expansive than we have words for— showing up in the corners of our world so often ignored and denied. We believe that from this place of holy

I've Been Meaning To Ask... Where are you from?

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/07/25

Where Are You From? Who are you really? Tell me about yourself. Your story, your journey, your background. We believe everyone is beloved, shaped from the dust of the earth and the breath of God. Everyone has a story to tell. Our stories are messy and beautiful, painful and hopeful—being written and rewritten over time. We commit to disrupting our assumptions and staying curious.

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

What’s Wrong? What do you need? How can I help? Exploring pain. PART 2. We believe everyone has needs, but each of us needs different things at different times. We believe God calls us to care for one another—in seasons of joy, transition, and hardship. We commit to listening and being present.

July 4th, 2021 - How are you really?

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/07/04

Our leading question, “I’ve been meaning to ask… ”conveys intentionality, warmth, curiosity, and consideration. In essence, this question also implies the following statements: “I’ve been thinking about you and I’ve been wanting to check in… You’ve been on my mind… I haven’t known how to have this conversation, but I’m getting started with a question.”

The Holy One - June 27th 2021

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/06/27

Holy: A Pentecost Vision for Our World continues with a sermon titled “The Holy One” based on Mark 5:21-34 We no longer have to fear contaminating the holy and sacred. Instead, the holy and sacred One makes us whole. Religions have often narrowly defined what is holy and good. That kind of religion must be left behind. However, the faith that comes from following Jesus Christ hat defines widely and broadly what is holy and good. That's the kind of faith you and I need need to cling to and

Holy Living - June 20th 2021

Holy living is sacrificial living. It means putting no obstacles into anyone’s way. It means opening our hearts wide open. Don’t put any restriction on your affections.

The Holy Becoming

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/06/07

You and I are in process. We are sacred and holy, yet we have not yet arrived. Grace is experienced at this exact point of tension. We groan not because this life needs to go away, but because we are not yet what we will be. It’s the growing pains of becoming!

Sermon May 30th, 2021

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/05/30

Trinity Sunday. What does it mean to stand before God? To experience the holy, the sacred, the awe? When we are on holy ground, we quake. We feel in our bones the majesty of God. It results in one action - receiving and accepting the call of God upon us.

Everyone & Everywhere - The Holy Has Come

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/05/24

New language, new dreams, new futures, and a whole new world. It’s not the narrow way of conceiving God, world, life, religion and faith, and economy that it was before. It widens and broadens. When the Spirit comes, everyone is involved.

No More Graves: No More Patriarchy

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/05/09

We are born of God, born from God... this is the ultimate feminine language of God... it’s the primary language of American Christianity in the 20the century, yet we continue to let the idea of God as male (or at least male only) to dominate our minds and souls. Following Jesus, believing Jesus, means trusting and holding onto the belief/faith images of Jesus - God as mother - God in labor.

No More Graves: No More Hate

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/05/03

Listen as Pastor Justin brings us the truth from the bible. Everyone belongs. Hate is not welcome here. No more Jews and Gentiles, no more male or female, no more slave or free, no more castigation of sexuality and of the body, no more hate, fear, or violence because we are different. What prevents someone from being baptized? Only us... only us. The resurrection life means putting away the graves of hate, fear, prejudice, and judgment.
