10.2.22. Rev. Lewicki preaches a second sermon on our 2022/23 churchwide theme, “BE.” The text is the Apostle Paul’s speech at the Areopagus in Athens, when he says to everyone in that public square, “In God, we live, and move, and have our being.” What was Paul saying then? What does that phrase mean now ..read more

10.16.22. As part of our commitment to read and teach the stories of women in Scripture, this Sunday (Oct. 16th) we encounter one of the most compelling, least-known women in the Bible: Rizpah, from 2 Samuel 21. Her faithfulness will shock you and move you ..read more

3.12.23. Rev. Lewicki explores a collection of Jesus’ sayings at the end of Matthew, chapter 6, including the one that haunts many of us: “you can’t serve God and wealth.” How should a disciple of Jesus relate to this material–and materialistic–world ..read more

1.22.23. This Sunday, Rev. Lewicki begins a new sermon series to re-introduce us to Jesus through the Gospel of Matthew. As a congregation, we will read through Matthew’s gospel in its entirety over the next several months. Perhaps you’ve read it before–read it again.

9.19.23. In the book of Joshua, God seems to direct Joshua to conduct a divinely-sanctioned ethnic cleansing in order to make room for God’s people in the Promised Land. It’s one of the most chilling books in scripture. Why would we even read it? As we begin exploring our annual theme, Making Room, Rev. Lewicki sees Joshua as a powerful place to begin our reflection about how complicated and spiritually-demanding this process of “making room” can be in practice ..read more
