November 2021

November 7, 2021 – Jonathan Chute, “No More Tears”

Sermon: sermon

In this week’s scripture we see a vision of the new heaven and new earth that God promises to the faithful in every age. It is a place and a time when the struggle and suffering of this present life will have passed away. It is a vision of community and compassion, the renewal of everything we have ever known. Revelation 21:1-6 is the text for Jonathan’s sermon, “No More Tears.”

November 14, 2021 – Jonathan Chute, “The Gift”

Sermon: sermon

This week’s gospel paints two very different pictures of religious leaders. The first is of those who parade around in long robes and enjoy the visibility and prestige that comes with their role. The second picture is of a poor widow placing her two coins in the temple treasury. It is an almost invisible act, until Jesus points her out to the disciples. No one would likely have noticed her before, but now we can’t forget her. The generosity of her simple gesture stirs something in Jesus, as well as in us. Mark 12:38-44 is the text for Jonathan’s sermon, “The Gift.”

November 21, 2021 – April Herron, “God Knows”

Sermon: sermon

Our scripture reading for this week of Thanksgiving is part of a long sequence of teachings which Matthew’s gospel describes as having been spoken by Jesus while he was up on a high mountain with his disciples. Jesus is addressing the human tendency toward anxiousness by describing God’s tender care for all creation. God, says Jesus, knows our needs. Therefore, only one thing is required of us. The passage is from Matthew 6:25-33. April’s sermon is “God Knows.” The chancel will be beautifully decorated as a way of awakening our gratitude for God’s goodness.

November 28, 2021 – Jonathan Chute, “Promises, Promises”

Sermon: sermon

We hope that you’ve enjoyed a warm, happy and delicious Thanksgiving with family and friends. Now we look forward to greeting the good news of God that comes to us in this season of expectation, preparation, waiting and hope. Our scripture for this first Sunday of Advent comes from a time of struggle for the people of Israel. Jerusalem, their capital, is under siege. To add to their distress, it appears that there is no one to follow as a king in the line of David. In the midst of chaos and tumult across the land, the prophet Jeremiah reaffirms God’s promise that “a righteous branch” will spring up and lead the people to a time of security and peace, of justice and righteousness for all. Jeremiah 33:14-16 is the text for Jonathan’s sermon, “Promises, Promises.”
