Each year, Jews gathers to retell the story of the Passover and Exodus where God set Israel free. It's not just a retelling though. It is an invitation for hearers to be in the story as if God set them free too. Christians also have a story that invites us in as Jesus sets us free. The sermon is based on parts of Exodus 12, 13, and 15.

As we turn to Exodus 14 and the story of the Israelites at the Red Sea, we hear how Israel is confronted with two impossible challenges - the sea and the empire. Death looks certain. And in the midst of that, God shows up and flips the script defeating the evil of empire and the evil of chaos. The sermon is based on Exodus 14:5-7, 10-14, 21-29.

Exodus 39 tells us a small piece of Joseph's story. He's unjustly incriminated and suffers as a result. But it's deeper than that. He's trafficked. What does this story have to say to us in 2026 and where is God in the midst of such horrible things? The sermon is based on Genesis 39:1-23.

The Narrative Lectionary starts a new cycle. And it gives us the story of the flood. It's a difficult story but also rich with imagery and meaning and promise. In this story is horror and hope. And it addresses questions that have been with us for a long, long time - how did we get to this point? Is God distant or close? What's the deal with humanity? What's the good news in the midst of so much horrible things going on? The sermon is based on Genesis 6:5-22; 8:6-12; and 9:8-17.

We are at the end of our series on the Ten Commandments. The commandment may be the most difficult for us. It's about wanting what doesn't belong to us. The core of this is a message that tries to tell us that we aren't enough. Yet God reminds us that we are. The sermon is based on Exodus 20:17.

In this third week on the series of the Ten Commandments, we turn our attention to how we are to live in relationship with our neighbor. The second set of the Commandments also dive deeper by addressing the injustice of enslavement in order to establish a better way to be community. The sermon is based on Exodus 20:12-16.

As we move into the actual commandments listed in Exodus 20, it starts with a focus on our relationship with God. And each one builds upon the one before it. And while its easy to point fingers at how others are failing at these, the whole point is for us to look in the mirror to see what gods we still follow, how we just God for our own purposes, and more. Thankfully, that mirror is not the end of the story, because when we look in the mirror, we also see the image of God. The sermon is based on Exodus 20:3-11.

We started a four week series on the Ten Commandments. This Sunday was the foundation - what are they really about. And the key is if you hear the foundation, then the commandments shift from being a bunch of rules to something more meaningful. The sermon is based on Exodus 19 and 20:1-2.
