    Lord, when did we see you in the wilderness? - Matthew 4:1-11

    As Lent begins, Rev. Cam Thomas leads us into the wilderness with Jesus to face the pull of quick fixes and shortcuts. Preaching from Matthew 4:1–11, he shows how the tempter’s offers bread, spectacle, and power, promise relief but cost our souls in the long run. Instead, Jesus “plays the long game,” answering each temptation with God’s Word: “One does not live by bread alone… Do not put the Lord your God to the test… Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.” This sermon launches our Lenten series, “Lord, when did we see you…?” (Matthew 25), inviting us to recognize Christ not just in the hungry, the stranger, and the sick, but also in the crucible of our own temptations—those moments when it’s easiest to forget God and think only of ourselves. With stories from everyday life, a call to deep roots of faith, and the image of the Communion table as a wisdom table, a grace-and-forgiveness place that resets our perspective, Rev. Cam urges us to embody a steady, hopeful discipleship: compassion over convenience, faithfulness over impulse, worship over self. Listen and be encouraged to remember God when the pressure rises and to let your daily choices become a true witness to Christ. Send a text And that wraps up today’s episode!

    Hear the Earth Speak - John 1:29-34

    In this Epiphany message, Rev. Elizabeth McGuire invites us to “hear the earth speak” as John the Baptist bears witness to Jesus: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” Drawing on John 1:29–34, Rev. McGuire explores how creation itself testifies to Christ—the dove descending, the waters of baptism, and the humble image of the lamb—revealing a Messiah who leads not by domination but by surrender, mercy, and transforming love. With warmth and wit (yes, even a nod to Google’s search results for “Lamb of God”), she unpacks the depth of this title and widens our view from private failings to the “sin of the world”—the brokenness of the whole cosmos that Christ came to heal. On the eve of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the sermon calls us to unity in our God‑given distinctions and to a discipleship marked by justice, gentleness, and hope. Come listen for the voice of the Spirit in creation—and learn to recognize Jesus in humility, grace, and restorative righteousness. Send a text And that wraps up today’s episode!

    Reflection - "Faith of Our Fathers, Hope for Our Future"

    In this special episode, we bring you the 2025 Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan Reflection, “Faith of Our Fathers, Hope for Our Future,” delivered by Deacon Andrew McLean, M.Div., at First Presbyterian Church of Dunn on Sunday, October 26, 2025. Drawing from the deep roots of Reformation Sunday and the enduring legacy of Scottish Presbyterian faith, Andrew explores how the “Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan” tradition connects heritage, community, and hope across generations. Listeners will journey from the courage of Martin Luther and John Calvin, through the reforming spirit of John Knox, to the faithful immigrants who carried their tartans—and their convictions—to the American colonies. Through this reflection, Andrew invites us to see the tartan as more than fabric, but as a living symbol of faith woven through history and into our lives today. Whether your heritage is Scottish, Irish, or from another part of the world, this message reminds us that we all share in the same story of grace, perseverance, and renewal. Tune in to celebrate the faith of our fathers and embrace the hope that leads us into the future of Christ’s Church. Send a text And that wraps up today’s episode!
