Pentecost marks the end of our Easter series, Discover Hope. Our final message is “A Greater Understanding” and it contrasts two biblical accounts of speech being changed. How do the Tower of Babel story and the Pentecost narrative work together? Do we build our own towers? Are we being disciples or are we making them? Join us as we rediscover hope this Easter season!
Our scripture readings come from Genesis 11:1-9 and Acts 2:1-21.
What follows is the transcript from today’s sermon. It is also my statement about moving forward after the vote at the 2019 General Conference. I thank you for reading, understanding, sharing, and most of all, I thank you for love. May the Lord bless us all, and help us to move forward. The audio and a downloadable version are here.

The last message in Being Transformed is “Transformed to Boldness” and looks at the way we are transformed to boldly proclaim the message of Christ. This is a deeply personal message today. How do we lift the veil to see the divine? Is our boldness in proclaiming Christ in proclaiming a message of good news for the least and the last? Is our boldness in breaking the yoke of oppression? Is our boldness that in God we can proclaim all these things and still have more to say? Let us make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world!
Our scripture reading comes from Luke 9:28-36 and 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:2.
We begin our new series, Facing Doubts, with “Do I Belong?” Weall have fears and doubts. What happens when we doubt that we belong? What is our role in the church to welcome others? Who does Christ welcome in? Do we follow his example? Let love cast out fear as we face our doubts.
Our scripture reading comes from 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a.
