Over the course of the Scriptures through the Hebrew Scriptures, and really on into the New Testament, again and again, a tenacious people make meaning out of the recurring rubble of their world. Standing in the reality of that rubble, the people lament even as they glimpse a path toward healing, weeping, and shouting, and singing “God is good. God…

Jesus gathers us in and sends us out, insisting that we create home for each other along the way. Home is both a place of shelter, steady and sure – and a vital and living place of encounter – moving out into the world – meeting and greeting the world – in ever-expanding circles of hospitality, welcome, and healing.…

Extending mercy to the brothers who have done him wrong, Joseph recalibrates entirely our understanding of what it is that we deserve, grounding us in our shared humanity. In God’s mercy, God gives humanity what humanity deserves: Love. Life. Dignity. Food. Water. Access to healthcare. The freedom to live without constant fear of violence. All the …

We come to the Book of Job – with Job’s big questions – and ours – and we don’t find a neat and tidy answer. We come to the Book of Job – and what we find is a groan and a shout – as ancient as this story, and as fresh and alive as the dawn of this very day. In our suffering, God speaks with us out of the whirlwind, and we live, and we somehow find…

We are beginning a sermon series exploring courtroom scenes in Scripture -- scenes that bring real life in focus as we seek some glimpse of the truth. In Jesus' trial before Pontius Pilate, Pilate asks the question, "What is truth?" What we find: Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. We are sent now to testify to that truth, that Word embodied…

In Christ, we are citizens of a new humanity, where all of us belong and participate in the fullness of life. Citizenship is about belonging – that deepest of human needs. And citizenship is about the quality of participation that we put back into the community into which we all have been welcomed.Από τον Rev. Scott Clark

In a world that would tear them apart, Jonathan and David choose a better way. Friendship is a chosen relationship with another person in which we come to agree to see and be seen by the other; to act for the other’s good; to be present with each other in challenge and struggle; and to be a loving place to which we can always return. In a world tha…

Juneteenth calls us to remember and celebrate freedom and liberation, but also insists that we remember slavery and its continuing impact on our world today. God creates us all equally human, and insists that we work for the freedom and equality of all.Από τον Rev. Scott Clark

Pentecost is a tale of wind and flame that becomes flesh and bone before our very eyes and ears – one that we can touch and taste and experience in our very bodies. While the day of Pentecost begins in the loneliness of loss and separation, in its mighty wind and crown of flame, we see connection – God and us – us and us. No separation – a leveling…

The Way of Resurrection is “enfleshed freedom” – an end to every separation and the freedom of every body. By the power of the Spirit, the Way of Resurrection moves us ever and always into more healing, more freedom, more life.Από τον Rev. Scott Clark

Joy is “the fresh presence of God... the fresh action of God,” rising up from the steady and sure saving action of God across all time. Joy is God’s forever longing for human flourishing. In this sermon, we consider “joy because” of the goodness we experience in life, “joy notwithstanding” the challenges and sorrow of life, and “joy against” everyt…

Our experience of grace and gratitude is not in any way bound or determined or limited by circumstance. In Jesus Christ, God’s grace reaches us and embraces us even in the mire and the muck.Από τον Rev. Scott Clark

God embodies God’s love for the world in the communion of the saints, all of us embraced, drawn together in one Body. All Saints Day gives us a moment to look back in gratitude, forward in hope, and present in the intention to live so that everyone can be free.Από τον Rev. Scott Clark
