Sermons

We are the dry bones. Suddenly, comes the God breath, the four winds. Live again, return from exile. Hear the spirit; instrument, of God grace. Take away the stone, Lazarus come out, we come out to live again.

“Rise and Anoint”
March 19, 2023 

We are the well. In the long story we hear wilderness thirst, critical tongues confronted by the providence of God. Strike the rock, meet the endurance of character. In the half empty and full moments. A Samaritan woman draws water. Jesus speaks and hope is reborn. Thirsty no more at Jacob’s well the living grace.
