Sermon: "This is What Discipleship Looks Like"
Sun, Jan 12, 2020
by
Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series:
Matthew 25 Disciples
Duration:
15 mins 26 secs
The Big Idea: Where does discipleship begin? In each of the Gospels, Jesus’ ministry begins at his baptism, where he is claimed as God’s beloved child and anointed with the gifts of the Spirit. The same is true for us. Baptism is the beginning of a lifelong journey of discipleship in Jesus’ name. Today we will remember our own baptism and renew those vows made at the beginning of discipleship.

Sermon: "The Journey Continues"
Sun, Jan 05, 2020
by
Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series:
Heaven & Nature Sing
Duration:
17 mins 25 secs
The Big Idea: The metaphor of "journey" has been used by Christians and other faith traditions for millenia. The wise person who follows Jesus has a journey that continues throughout a lifetime. Fortunately for us, this is not a journey we take as individuals, but as a community of people who are journeying together. The wise congregation looks forward to its journey together.

Sermon: "Wonders of His Love: Compassionate Joy"
Sun, Dec 29, 2019
by
Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series:
Heaven & Nature Sing
Duration:
14 mins 31 secs
The Big Idea: This is the last Sunday of our series about Joy. The Hebrew root for 'joy' used 54 times in the Hebrew scriptures is ranan, pronounced raw-non. It means 'to shout, to cry out' and 'to overcome.' When you think about it, shouting for joy trains the lungs and body and instills courage to shout aloud for the overcoming of injustice. Let's propose that 'shouting out' for joy will liberate our exuberance for righting the wrongs of the world, for the sake of God's love for the world. Compassionate Joy is our watchword.

Christmas Eve Message: "The Lord is Come: Incarnate Joy"
Tue, Dec 24, 2019
by
Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series:
Heaven & Nature Sing
Duration:
8 mins 56 secs
The Big Idea: "Joy to the World, the Lord is come!" On this Christmas Eve we celebrate the world-altering narrative of the inbreaking, indwelling, incarnation of the Holy among us. This, tonight, is the meeting place of heaven and earth. The feeling you have had in moments, events or revelations that changed your life are what 'deep joy' is about, not simply happiness. Happiness is fleeting because it is centered in us. Joy is forever because it is centered in what God does. Tonight is about God's joy in uniting heaven and earth in the person of Jesus, who is the very imprint of God in us. Incarnate Joy is our watchword.

Sermon: "Make the Nations Prove: Peaceful Joy"
Sun, Dec 22, 2019
by
Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series:
Heaven & Nature Sing
Duration:
9 mins 1 sec
The Big Idea: The name Emmanuel means “God with us.” From both the Hebrew and Christian narratives, we hear the yearning for this “Emmanuel”–for God to become so present that God’s peace, truth, love, and justice reign among all the world and bring balance to what feels out of whack. Our Psalm in this series names the joyful expression of all creation as the response to the news that the Prince of Peace, Emmanuel, is coming at long last. The symbol for today is the star.

Sermon: "Repeat the Sounding Joy: Loving Joy"
Sun, Dec 08, 2019
by
Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series:
Heaven & Nature Sing
Duration:
13 mins 35 secs
The Big Idea: Human beings can be transformed by music that resonates in our soul so powerfully that we can’t help but join in. This is the vision of “Joy to the World” as the reverberating phrase urges us to “repeat the sounding joy” of the good news of Love. The prophet Isaiah offers a vision of radical love–the wolf and the lamb living together and being led by an innocent child. Can we lift our voices to joyfully and confidently proclaim this chorus of well-being for the world? The symbol for today is the evergreen.

Sermon: "Prepare Him Room: Hopeful Joy"
Sun, Dec 01, 2019
by
Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series:
Heaven & Nature Sing
Duration:
6 mins 23 secs
The Big Idea: The season of Advent is a time of preparing room, a whole season to practice Hope, the theme of today's Advent candle. Isaiah's prophecy looked to the future of a peace, where war was recognized as a fruitless enterprise. Israel was called to prepare room, where Justice and Joy could be anticipated with Hope. Israel was being invited to see that in the Lord's light, all can be free. The symbol for today is the wreath.

Sermon: "Jeremiah: Seek the Welfare of Your City"
Sun, Nov 24, 2019
by
Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series:
Prophesies and Pottery: Journey with Jeremiah
Duration:
13 mins 23 secs
The Big Idea: Even as Jeremiah was beginning his exile in Egypt, he sent a letter to those who had been exiled to Babylon: “bloom where you are planted” says Jeremiah. God invited the people to “build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat what they produce.” The people were not to live “on hold” but live fully in the midst of exile. Indeed, the Babylonian exile created the spread of the Jews far and wide as they grew and prospered right where they found themselves. God's plans for them and their own welfare turned out to be a blessing for the communities where Jews and Gentiles lived together.

Sermon: "Earthware Jars: Hope for the Future"
Sun, Nov 10, 2019
by
Rev. J. Beth Goss
Series:
Prophesies and Pottery: Journey with Jeremiah
Duration:
11 mins
The Big Idea: Jeremiah’s prophetic visions of hope in the midst of despair take a turn with what seems like a bizarre act: Jeremiah buys property from prison. In a time of overwhelming and seemingly never-ending death and destruction of his people and no assurance that he will ever be free again, Jeremiah chooses to plan for a restored future he cannot yet see. He puts the deeds in earthward jars, a common ancient practice for the safekeeping of important documents. No matter what, we are called to prophecy and safeguard the dream of a better future for all people.
