Sermons & Announcements

How often do we overlook the small in search of something grand?

In our third week exploring Jesus’s parables, we unpack the Parable of the Mustard Seed—a story about a tiny, seemingly insignificant seed that grows into an expansive place of shelter. From dollhouse miniatures to the overlooked legacy of Abigail Adams, this message explores how “the art of noticing” small details trains us to see hidden truths.

We all carry old anxieties, defenses, and toxic habits that once protected us from harm.

Like the weeds intertwined with wheat in Jesus’s parable, these “loyal soldiers” became so deeply rooted in our lives that letting go feels impossible. But trying to uproot them prematurely risks damaging our growth.

In this sermon, Rev. Tim reframes one of Jesus’s most famous parables.

Challenging traditional, judgmental interpretations that categorize people into “good” or “bad” soil, Rev. Tim shifts the focus to the sower. He reveals a God of radical grace who scatters love and abundance everywhere, without restriction.

Rev. Tim dives deep into a challenging section of scripture often called the “Missionary Discourse.”

In this Father’s Day sermon during Global Pride Month, we explore some of Jesus’s toughest words—including his call to love him above our own families. But did Jesus intend to exclude and divide? Far from it.
