No More Graves: No More Holding Back

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/04/25

In 1 John, we don’t have to hold back anymore. We can be our authentic selves. We can be all in. We can be transparent and authentic. We can be integrated selves - whole and holy (sacred) selves. This allows us to see others in the same way. It calls us to give ourselves for the world. We must go all in.

No More Graves: No More Fear

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/04/18

We don't have to live in fear of death, fear of the unknown, fear of the beyond... God's reality is a flesh and blood one. Resurrection reality is flesh and blood. We eat and drink and converse. Touch and see God's resurrection reality. When God open's our minds, we no longer have to fear the ghostly unknown.

4.11.21 No More Graves No More Scarcity

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/04/11

A resurrected life means not giving power to the idol of scarcity. We are living in the kingdom. We are living in the reality of resurrection, abundance, and generosity. We don’t have to grasp our possessions. We don’t have to hold back in our relationships. We don’t have be closed off to the world. Instead, we live in the incredible vulnerability of being alive to openness, generosity, gratitude, community, and real connection. When this happens, all of our needs (the full Maslow Hierarchy)

Again and Again The Sun Rises - Easter 2021

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/04/04

According to Mark, on the first day of the week, the women rise with the sun and buy spices to anoint Jesus’ body. They are shocked to find the tomb empty, and leave in fear and terror. Mark’s resurrection story is less triumphant than the other Gospel testimonies (as scholars believe the remainder of Mark’s gospel was a later addition). In Mark’s version, we are reminded that Easter comes to us, again and again, even if we don’t know what to make of God’s resurrection ways. Again and again, the sun

Sermon Mar 28 2021

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/03/27

On Palm Sunday, we remember that Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was not a risk-free, palm party. It was a protest parade—a protest against those in power, a parade to prepare the way for a different kind of king. And this was all happening with plots to kill Lazarus (and Jesus) building in the background. We’re reminded that the crowds were brave to show up that day, and that Jesus drew on courage to face his journey to the cross. The root of courage is cour, meaning “heart.” Courage is deep within us;

Sermon Mar 21 2021

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/03/21

Again and Again We Are Reformed We desire for God to write on our hearts so that God’s law can re-shape and re-form us from the inside out. Reformation is a journey of letting the old fall away for something new to emerge, of returning to God’s words over and over, of being drawn into the heart of God. This is the process of justification and sanctification; transformation must be internal and communal.

Sermon Mar 14 2021

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/03/14

After inviting Nicodemus to be born anew, Jesus tells him in John 3 that God so loved the world that God sent his son to restore it. Therefore, when we read John 3:16, we remember that Jesus is speaking in metaphor and poetry. Ultimately, love is where God begins and ends. This love, like grace, is a gift we do nothing to deserve. Again and again, love is our refrain. Before we act, think, or believe, can love be first for us too?

Sermon Mar 7 2021: We Are Shown The Way

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/03/07

According to John, Jesus begins his ministry by showing more than telling. In the temple, Jesus disrupts and overturns the systems of corruption and profiteering taking place, but ultimately points us to the promise of restoration. Paul reminds the Corinthians (and us) that God’s wisdom is more expansive than we can imagine. We are shown the way, even if God’s “way” feels foolish, counter-cultural, disruptive, or uncomfortable.

Feb. 28, 2021 Sermon: "Again and Again We Are Called...

Grace Presbyterian Church ·

2021/03/01

Like the disciples, we are often stuck in the pattern of messing up over and over again. We cling to power, we climb the ladder, we memorialize Christ’s teachings rather than embodying them. However, we can’t be trapped by shame, guilt, ignorance, or inaction. Humility is required for transformation.Again and again, we are called to listen—to God and to others.
