Sermons on Unity
Unity
In this message, Pastor Osheta teaches on what Moravian history has to teach us about unity. We are united in our picture of God in Christ; united in our commitments to remembering our journey of faith, to being curious about the ‘other’, and to coming together around the Lord’s Table.
The Sound of the Genuine
In the wrap-up message in the “Zip Code” series, Pastor T. C. explores Dr. Howard Thurman’s concept of “The Sound of the Genuine” in light of the beginning of the Lenten season.
Ethnic Identity & Social Location
In this message Pastor T. C. explores the way we locate ourselves ethnically, racially, and relative to others in society. In Acts 21, Paul attempts to navigate what Dr. Willie James Jennings calls the “diaspora anxiety” of the Jerusalem elders. But it fails spectacularly. We need a better way.
Zip Code – Intro
Pastor T. C. kicks off a new teaching series called “Zip Code: Homing in on Who We Are to Know Where We’re Going.” This message explores a passage from Paul’s letter to the Colossian church about finding identity in Christ. Identity sets a trajectory that leads us to our destiny.
God’s Surprisingly Big Story
In this sermon, Emily Morrison breaks down one of the most confusing and misunderstood passages in all of the New Testament: Romans chapters 9-11. Paul is retelling the biblical narrative, reinterpreted in the light of who Jesus is and what he has done, for the sake of the unity of the church of Rome. The story of God’s redemptive purposes is surprisingly big enough to include both Israel and the Gentiles!
