Leanne Van Dyk: God of the Wilderness
In her sermon, Dr. Leanne Van Dyk says it's not hard at all for us during these days of pandemic and protest to imagine a difficult place like that the Israelites were in. We find ourselves beyond the wilderness in many ways, and yet there’s no wilderness so wild that God cannot find us there.

Michael Mills: The Inactive Active Christian
In this pandemic season, says the Rev. Michael Mills, active Christians have had to be inactive. It’s not easy to adjust, but that’s the rhythm Jesus exemplified for us—an active, hands-on ministry that was always balanced by time alone and away.

Kenyatta Gilbert: Pinocchio Prophecy
The beloved story of Pinocchio sheds light on an important reality, says Dr. Kenyatta Gilbert: If you tell lies, you will find yourself bereft of moral integrity.

Robin Wilson: Rise Up
The Rev. Robin Wilson likens Jesus's words to his disciples in Matthew 10 to Alexander Hamilton's energizing encouragement to his fellow revolutionaries from the stage musical, "Hamilton," calling them to rise up, to act for that which is most important to them.

Eric Barreto: Can't We All Just Get Along?
Dr. Eric Barreto says there's no better place to start a study of the Book of Acts than the account of Pentecost.

But what happened that momentous day, and what does it all mean for us today?
