Choosing Life for All - September 07, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

We make choices every day, and the ancients were no different. The choices we make for ourselves impact the lives of those around us. Choosing life for ourselves should not come at the expense of life for our neighbors. This week, Pastor JC invites us to

Reparation - August 24, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

So much around us is in need of repair, so much in our own souls too! Acknowledging this need and embarking on that journey is not easy and yet again and again we are called to it. This week Pastor JC invites us to consider repair, within ourselves, in ou

Is it Enough? - August 03, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

Greed is prevalent around us. It is easy to point at others, at the billionaire class, at the politicians, or big business, and yet those examples are the fruit of a culture that seems to never be satisfied, always wanting more no matter what the cost. Wh

The Bible is an Invitation - July 20, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

From the Gospels to the book of Revelation we have the continuation of one of the great stories about us, about the world, and about God. This narrative journey is rooted in stories that are thousands of years old and now in a few hundred years take on a

Community & Human Flourishing - July 13, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

It is easy to feel isolated these days, to long for connection, to wonder if there is more in life than this (whatever "this" is to us). Faith calls us to the recognition of a deeper reality but also it calls us to the recognition of our need for one anot

The Hardest Gospel - June 29, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

Gospel means good news but what happens when said good news sounds more like bad news? This week we hear one of the most difficult teachings of Jesus. At first it seems impossible but as we engage it in the day to day of life, it opens up a pathway to fre

What Are You Doing Here - June 22, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

In life we often wonder why we are where we are, at times with joy, and at others with regret. This week we hear from an ancient social critic and thorn in the flesh to those in power, he is tired and wondering why, in spite of his faithfulness, he finds

Scattered - June 08, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

It is Pentecost, the day when the Christian tradition remembers the coming of the Spirit and the birth of the church. Long ago our ancestor in faith tried to explain human divisions (and maybe human strife), this week Pastor JC invites us into that ancien

Power From On High - June 01, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

These days so many of us feel powerless, so much happening, so much suffering, hatred, and struggle. We want to do something, but we know it will probably not make a difference. This week, disciples are left behind, what are they going to do now that Jesu

On Fear - June 01, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

There is so much fear these days, so much fear mongering, and so much to be fearful of. This week Pastor JC invites us to pay attention to our fear but not to let it take over our lives. Instead there is an invitation, to embrace community, to lean into u

On Holy Days and Holidays - May 25, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

Humans mark time in a variety of ways, holidays originally were days of observance, of remembering something that was important. Now it often turns into time off, or a time to celebrate with friends, disconnected from the Holy or is it? This week Pastor J

Sermon Selective Memory - April 06, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

It's amazing what we remember and how we remember it, it is also amazing how much we forget. Memory is a complex function of our being human that allows us to make sense of our current situation. This week the truth-teller and social critic tells us to le

Healing Resistance - March 30, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

Walking Like Jesus - March 16, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

Family traits are always interesting. Often we see traits in us that remind us of a parent, grandparent, at other times we see our ways in our children, grandchildren, a niece or a nephew. Sometimes the way one looks goes back to a previous generation. It
