    The Courage to Dream | Christy Jo Harber 1.18.26

    In this week’s sermon, Rev. Christy Jo shares a message from Psalm 40:1-11. In a world tempted by despair, faith calls us to dream again. Grounded in Psalm 40 and inspired by the legacy of Jesus and Dr. King we are united to imagine a new way of being together. When communities of faith trust God’s steadfast love, new songs arise– and beloved communities become possible. This sermon was preached on January 18th, 2026.

    A Movement for Wholeness | Christy Jo Harber

    In this week’s sermon, Rev. Christy Jo shares a message from Isaiah 49:1-9. In a world that feels anything but ordinary, Isaiah’s ancient song invites us into a radically different way of living. We explore our calling to be a movement of wholeness– bringing light, mercy, and justice into our fragmented world. And together we listen for the “new things” God is already doing among us!

    Following the Star | Christy Jo Harber

    In this week’s sermon, Rev. Christy Jo shares a message from Matthew 2:1-12.  Epiphany reminds us that God often reveals divine truth through unexpected people, practices, and paths. Drawing from the story of the Magi and the spiritual practice of following the star, we consider how we are shaped by long journeys, holy curiosity, and the courage to follow the light, especially when we can only see one step at a time.

    The Audacity to Sing | Christy Jo Harber

    In this week’s sermon, Rev. Christy Jo shares a message from Luke 1:46-55. On the fourth Sunday of Advent, we hear Mary’s Magnificat as a bold, defiant song of hope– sung in the face of fear, uncertainty, and empire. Mary teaches us that when God is on the move, faith dares to sing anyway, proclaiming that love is worth the risk and desperation is never the final word. As we anticipate Christ’s coming, we are invited to raise our voices and join the holy chorus of hope, joy, peace, and love. This sermon was preached on December 21, 2025.

    Joy Rises | Christy Jo Harber

    In this week’s sermon, Rev. Christy Jo shares a message from Isaiah 58:9-12. On the Third Sunday of Advent, we light the candle of joy and explore how joy is not just something we symbolize, but something we practice– especially when barriers come down and love makes room. How might our ordinary acts of mercy and justice contribute to communal flourishing? Joy rises wherever love makes room. This sermon was preached on December 14, 2025.

    The Practice of Peace | Christy Jo Harber

    In this week’s sermon, Rev. Christy Jo shares a message from Phillipians 1:3-11. As we light the candle of Peace, we explore how gratitude, community, and intentional connection become spiritual practices that steady us in a fragmented world. Drawing from Paul’s prayer in Philippians we are invited to cultivate peace not as a feeling we wait for, but as a daily practice– one we grow into through gratitude, companionship, and noticing the sacred beauty of the present moment.

    Advent as Adventure | Christy Jo Harber

    In this week’s sermon, Rev. Christy Jo shares a message from Matthew 24:36-44. We begin the season of Advent with a daring invitation: to see these four weeks leading to Christmas not as a time for passive waiting, but as an adventure! We are invited to “stay awake” not out of fear of the unknown, but in awakened awareness of the hope, peace, joy, and love God has already placed inside of us.
