5/2/21 “All Tribes – All People” by Pastor Jim Lindus

We are called to love beyond our own tribe… beyond what is familiar to us. We are called to enlarge our capacity for love, kindness and service… to break down barriers rather than build them up.

3/21/21 “It Sucks to Be Human” by Pastor Jim Lindus

Pastor Jim explores the difficulties of being human in this week’s sermon.

Jesus, because He became fully human, Jesus was intimately aware of human suffering– this life’s pain, sorrow, disappointments, loneliness and loss, and grief.  Jesus understands our sorrow. We are not alone.

Everyone you meet is carrying a heavy burden at some point in their lives, some burdens are visible, others are not — which is a good reminder to be kind to all — and to ourselves.

1/17/21 “Turning Wine into Water” by Pastor Jim Lindus

In this sermon on the eve of honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it is good to be reminded of his prophetic vision at a time when so many are divided in this broken world.
