Sermons from August 2025
Dearly Beloved: Love
As we close the Dearly Beloved series, Hebrews invites us to live faith in tangible ways. Through love, hospitality, praise, and shared care, we learn what it means to belong to a community shaped by God’s presence. Scripture: Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16 (CEB)
Dearly Beloved: Faith
This week we continue our “Dearly Beloved” series with a look at faith—not as belief alone, but as movement. Hebrews gives us a powerful image of faithful people running their race with endurance, even when the path is uncertain. Their stories surround us like a great cloud of witnesses, reminding us that we don’t run alone—and that there is joy set before us. Scripture: Hebrews 11:29-12:2 (CEB)
Dearly Beloved: Longing
This week we begin a new series called “Dearly Beloved”—an invitation to live as people deeply loved by God. This first week starts with longing: the restlessness that keeps us searching for meaning, connection, and hope. Hebrews 11 tells the story of those who moved forward by faith, even when the way ahead wasstill unseen. Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16 (CEB)
Set Your Mind
What does it mean to set your mind on things above when life feels chaotic, exhausting, or just plain noisy? This Sunday, we explore Colossians 3:1–11 and discover how a shift in focus—rooted in grace and guided by Christ—can reshape how we move through the world. Whether you’re feeling stuck, scattered, or seeking a new way forward, there’s a word of hope here for you. Scripture: Colossians 3:1-11 (NRSVue)
