Sermon: "Finding Your Mystic: Listening Behind the Voices"
Sun, Mar 18, 2018
by Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series: Angels Among Us
Duration: 15 mins 8 secs
Big Idea: We often have a "cast of characters" living inside our heads. "They" carry on endless conversations - each from their own perspective, comparing the self with others. The chatter can keep us from a deeper listening. It is difficult to understand our mystical connections to God when our minds are full of chatter. Knowing your true self as the person God loves will help you dismiss the false selves that chatter in fear, pessimism, and accusation, and who bully us into negative action.

Sermon: "Listening for Healing"
Sun, Mar 11, 2018
by Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series: Angels Among Us
Duration: 16 mins 9 secs
Big Idea: Prayer as a spiritual practice may come easily for you or it may not. Even the most devout have doubts about prayer's power at times. What is it? How does it work? The mechanics of what happens in prayer is not as important as doing it. Because whether or not the outcome for ourselves or others is the healing we envision, the very act of being in a relationship with God and with others through prayer has healing and power-bestowing benefits.

Sermon: "Finding a Word - Listening to the Texts"
Sun, Mar 04, 2018
by Elder Susan Tarr
Series: Angels Among Us
Duration: 18 mins 12 secs
Big Idea: As we have been practicing in our worship, Lectio Divina ("divine reading") is an ancient tradition of mixing the reading of scripture with prayer and meditation. Rather than an analytical approach to the words of scripture, it is a way for the words to simply be present and live in us. What will we hear when we let go of what it all is "supposed to" mean and simply let it reside in us?

Sermon: "Finding Your Breath: Listening To Our Bodies"
Sun, Feb 25, 2018
by Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series: Angels Among Us
Duration: 10 mins 31 secs
Big Idea: The early church believed that breath and Spirit were one in the same. The word "spirit" and "breath" are the same in both the Hebrew and Greek languages. How might the meditative practice of paying attention to our breath be, in and of itself, a prayer of connection to God? When we embrace our bodies as the holy vessel of God, we become even more our true selves - which has been there all along.

Sermon: "Finding Your Cave"
Sun, Feb 18, 2018
by Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series: Angels Among Us
Duration: 10 mins 22 secs
Big Idea: What is your "cave?" What place - perhaps a park, a path, a rocking chair, a shoreline - and what practice - such as walking, journaling, reading, or making art - helps you get quiet enough so you can hear past the chaos into the depths of your life? This Lent we will quiet things down and heighten our attention to the "still, small voice" of God and our own true self. Listening through prayer as well as meditation on sacred texts is an ancient Lenten practice. So, let us come and rest, come and listen.

Sermon: "Who's the Top God? - Interview with Scouts"
Sun, Feb 04, 2018
by Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series: Angels Among Us
Duration: 23 mins 17 secs
Big Idea: Where can we go to get assistance that the "biggest god" is indeed the same God who is on our side? Jesus is the one who shows us what real power looks like -- the one on the side of the poor, the powerless, and the defeated, is the same one raised from the dead.

Sermon: "Who Speaks for God? An Interview with Bill Murphey"
Sun, Jan 28, 2018
by Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series: Angels Among Us
Duration: 2 mins 2 secs
Big Idea: Every society needs to establish leadership characteristics, and we need to know the "good people" from the "bad people." But how? The Hebrew people summed p their leadership qualities as "a prophet like Moses." Someone like that could qualify as a person with integrity who could speak for God.

Big Idea: In the nexus between generations, the experienced have to let go of control while still offering the wisdom that the next generation will need to carry on. In God's wisdom, human beings survive in groups that are successful in passing along the things that make for the life of the community.
