August 13, 2017 Matthew 14:22-33 Pastor’s note: This sermon followed by just a day the racist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12, 2017. It was not written in advance, but improvised at the pulpit. This is a transcript (and the audio recording is below). Pastor Eric Anderson began with a prayer: Please pray with […]
Jesus had just told people that it was what they said and did, rather than what they ate or drank, which would defile them. And then he refused a request for healing. With words that still echo as harsh. Here’s a transcript: As I’m recording my thoughts, it’s just two days after the violence […]

They’re the focus of the United Church of Christ for the next two years, and they have been, they are, and they […]
Joseph went to Egypt unwillingly: kidnaped and sold by his brothers, dragged off by the passing traders. Yet in his story, he became the one to rescue his family from starvation.

Jesus found himself with a crowd of hungry people. He fed them – starting with just five loaves and two fish. Given that we start out with enough food grown annually to feed everyone: Why don’t we do it? Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking we’re going to take a break from Jacob for a […]
