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

July 13, 2025 • 12 mins
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 another, the sense of transcendence pushes us not just vertically but horizontally, to a sacredness before us. This week, join Pastor Juan Carlos for worship.

The Most Beautiful Thing in the World - July 6, 2025 - Pastor Jim Keck - Sermon

July 6, 2025 • 15 mins
This weekend, Pastor Jim will hone in on BEAUTY as a key aspect of the faith. All beauty in our world harkens to the transcendent beauty of the divine. And to strive for a more just world is at the same time to strive for a more beautiful world. As a great theologian said “we must move people toward truth, goodness, and liberation through beauty. Frenetic and harried and labored activism won’t shift people. We need to appeal to the...

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

June 29, 2025 • 17 mins
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 freedom, belonging, and community.

A Necessary Joy - June 22, 2025 - Pastor Jim Keck - Sermon

June 22, 2025 • 17 mins
At a few moments in his life Elijah was overcome with negative thinking. To be sure, it was mostly an appropriate response to brutal hardship. However, many of us are prone to a more chronic, low-grade type of negativity. This weekend Dr. Jim Keck will speak about different personality types and the essential role our faith plays in creating a more joyful approach to life.

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

June 22, 2025 • 9 mins
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 himself in a very difficult situation. Where is God? Where are we? And Why? The questions of our lives.

A New Pentecost - June 08, 2025 - Pastor Jim Keck - Sermon

June 8, 2025 • 23 mins
God and Jesus are bigger than religion. That is, human hearts can be in love with God and Jesus even though they might not attend church. Religion is a human construct and is always evolving. On this Pentecost Sunday, Dr. Keck will speak of a new pentecost that is underway that is changing the very concept of religion itself.

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

June 8, 2025 • 11 mins
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 ancient story and reminds us why Pentecost is seen as a story of reversal, restoration, and re-start for all of creation. What was once scattered is now gathered again and again towards ...

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

June 1, 2025 • 17 mins
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 Jesus has left them? What are we to do now, in the midst of life, in light of our encounter with Jesus?

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

June 1, 2025 • 11 mins
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 uncertainty, and to trust in the love that is all around us. Do not be afraid becoming an invitation to not allow fear to control us, an invitation to be free.

The Face of God - May 25, 2025 - Pastor Jim Keck - Sermon

May 25, 2025 • 20 mins
Near the very end of the Bible is a beautiful description of heaven and how we will live in the full light of God. But Heaven is not only something that we experience after we die. There are many chances to experience a slice of heaven in this life and Dr. Keck sees in Revelation 21 some clues to hearing the angles sing in your life right now.

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

May 25, 2025 • 11 mins
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 JC invites us into remembering, time keeping, and how the holy is present in our day to day of life.

The Home of God - May 18, 2025 - Pastor Jim Keck - Sermon

May 18, 2025 • 14 mins
We often think of God's home as otherworldly, above, heaven, ethereal, maybe even sublime. This week the scriptures gives us a much more common and accessible picture, God's home is among us. Yes, right here, where we live, work, and play. This says something about God, but it also says much about us.

With so much noise and so many things vying for our attention, it's what we truly value that holds our focus—even amid the distractions.This week Pastor Juan Carlos Huertas invites us to consider what we are listening to, why that matters, and how an adjustment might help us live a more flourishing life.

Dr. Jim Keck will share how Dr. Martin Luther King played such a large role in his childhood. He will also explain that they share the same theological perspective that was developed at Boston University in the mid-twentieth century. Pastor Jim believes this theology is most true to scripture and could change our world.

Doers of the Good News: The Hope House - May 04, 2025 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon

May 4, 2025 • 13 mins
Jesus calls us into a vision, to make the kin-dom of God known. This is a kin-dom of wholeness, healing, community, connection, and new life. It would be easier to talk about it, and yet the call is to follow the Spirit’s leading into rehearsing it, making it known a bit, however imperfect. This week Pastor Juan Carlos takes us into the story of our next neighborhood initiative, the Hope House, its story, its vision, and its potent...
