7/27/14 – Jonathan Chute – “Hidden in Plain Sight”
Sermon: Jonathan Chute
In this week’s gospel Jesus speaks in parables about the kingdom of God. He draws examples from everyday life, and portrays the kingdom as both a little bit less, and a whole lot more, than anyone imagines. Though it is right in front of us, some still miss it.

7/20/14 – Doug Dickson – “It’s Getting Crowded”
Sermon: Doug Dickson
This weekend’s scripture presents an interesting challenge to all of Jesus’ disciples – live and let live. When confronted with the human tendency to differentiate one person as faithful and another as unfaithful, Jesus tells us, “It’s not your problem.” Imagine a church like the field in today’s parable. Imagine it getting crowded in here.
