    "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" - John 15:10–17

    It may be aged and worn, but the old hymn "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" has a story to tell! More than a sweet Sunday School song, this chestnut is planted in biblical narratives and calls us into an intimate theology of abiding love. Rev. Victor Floyd delivered this sermon on Sunday, August 23, 2026. The scripture reading was from John 15:10–17.

    "Amazing Grace" - Luke 15:1-10

    Kathleen Norris writes, “There is a powerful moment in any religious conversion… in which a person realizes that… it is nothing you have done, but it is all of one event, God’s being there, and being of help.” The author of the hymn, “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” concludes that God’s grace calls for “songs of loudest praise.” How do you respond to God’s grace? Guest preacher Rev. Dr. Joanne Whitt delivered this sermon on Sunday, August 16, 2026. The scripture reading was from Luke 15:1-10.

    "Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty" - Revelation 4

    The hymns we sing in church have a theological and often biblical basis. “Holy, Holy, Holy,” one of the most familiar hymns to Presbyterians, takes language from Revelation. Revelation can be a confusing, difficult book, but the writer was responding to the crisis faced by first century Christians: Do we worship God, or the emperor? In 2026, we still have to choose. This sermon was delivered by guest preacher Rev. Dr. Joanne Witt on August 9, 2026. The scripture readings were from Revelation 4.

    "To Be Transfigured" - Job:38; Mark 9:2–8; Matthew 18:20

    What if the glory we're waiting for is already shining through us? Presbyterian trailblazer, Janie Spahr, preaches on Job's cosmos and Mark's mountain — where Transfiguration means seeing what was always true: dazzling glory, holy mountains, and the light hidden in ordinary flesh. Holy Communion. This sermon was delivered on Sunday, August 2, 2026 by guest preacher Rev. Dr. Janie Spahr. The scripture readings were from Job:38; Mark 9:2–8; Matthew 18:20.

    "Sabbath Means We Are Enough" - Luke 15:11–32

    Why do so many of us feel so much pressure to compete, judge, produce, win? The Parable of the Prodigal Son is about two sons. One son learns the hard way that he doesn’t have to earn his father’s love. The other son doesn’t get it. With which son do you identify? The sermon was delivered by guest preacher Rev. Dr. Joanne Whitt. The scripture reading was from Luke 15:11–32.

    "Sabbath Means Abiding Love" - Genesis 2:1–3, John 15:9–15

    God does not create for the sake of creating. Rather, God creates in order to enjoy, relate, connect, and abide in love with all that is created. Sabbath allows us to enjoy and rest in that love. This sermon was delivered on July 19, 20206 by Rev. Joann H. Lee. The scripture readings were from Genesis 2:1–3, John 15:9–15.

    "Sabbath Means Freedom" - Deuteronomy 5:12–15, Matthew 11:28–30

    “Observe the Sabbath day, and keep it holy,” says Deuteronomy's version of the Ten Commandments. Does that sound like one more religious rule that’s too hard, or at least, too inconvenient, to take seriously? Or might an intentional break from our hectic lives be a path to freedom? This sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Joanne Whitt on Sunday, July 12, 2026. The scripture readings were from Deuteronomy 5:12–15 and Matthew 11:28–30

    "Queen Esther & the Anonymous Miracle Maker" - Ester 7 & 9

    The "morning after" our country’s 250th, we turn to a similar would-be dynasty with its own ancient treasury scandal, arbitrary system of discrimination, and freewheeling corruption. As in Queen Esther's time, we live somewhere between our nation's promises and betrayals. And yet miracles still find us! It's as if, all along, they were waiting "for such a time as this." Rev. Victor Floyd delivered this sermon on Sunday, July 5, 2026. The scripture reading was from Esther 7:1–6, 9–10; 9:1–2, 20–22, 29–32.
