Climb Down

What Tabitha Made: Sermon for Mother's Day 2019

The sermon for Mother's Day, May 12, 2019, was based on Acts 9:36-43. We reflected on the work of Tabitha, a Jewish Christian serving the Gentile poor of the port city of Joppa. Such a pillar of her community was she, that the disciple Peter was called from the capital of the region, Lyyda, to bear witness to Tabitha's service. We discussed how Tabitha filled the original idea for Mother's Day as proposed by Anna Jarvis: a day to remember the peacemakers and those advocating social good, as Anna's own mother had done. Watch and see where all this goes.

Stewardship with Dirt Under Our Nails

Sunday sermon following Earth Day, based on Genesis 2:15 & Leviticus 19:9-10. We look at the creation story to see what is intended in our relationship between God and humanity. Leviticus helps us with our relations between each other. The menorah was lit in solidarity with the synagogue congregants in San Diego who were attacked, and with all who have suffered violence in their sacred spaces. Watch and see what is to be discovered through this riveting tale.

How Do We Value and Express Generosity?

Here is a thought provoking article from American Baptist Churches USA asking us how we value and express generosity in the world  today. It is an article by Marcia Shetler well worth our time and consideration today. You will find this article at: http://www.abc-usa.org/2018/09/17/how-much-do-you-value-generosity/

It is well worth all of our prayerful consideration. This could transform our lives if we follow through.
