Sermons from September 2025

We continue our Call & Response series by turning toward the honest expression of sorrow, grief, and lament. Some of this comes from the ways we fall short. Some comes from the pain we carry or the suffering we see around us. Psalm 79 gives voice to what’s hard to say out loud, and reminds us that staying close to God doesn’t require having everything figured out. Scripture: Psalm 79:1-9 (NRSVue)

We continue our Call & Response series with a question many of us ask without saying it out loud: does faith really shape how we live? Psalm 14 names a world where people say one thing and do another, where words about God are easy but action is rare. This week we sit with that tension and listen for what it means to live with integrity. Scripture: Psalm 14 (NRSVue)

As we begin our Call & Response series, we begin with wonder. What if you were known fully and intimately, even before you could put words to who you are? Psalm 139 invites us into that kind of mystery. In a world that often makes us feel anonymous or unseen, this ancient song offers a powerful reminder: we come from love, we live within reach of the Divine, and we are never overlooked. Scripture: Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18 (NRSVue)
