    Why Church? Because we’re trying to be real. - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka

    Why Church? Because we’re trying to be real. - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka

    If we are honest, as sinful human beings we judge others too readily and we are hypocritical in that we do not always act in accordance with what we say. Given that, the call of the church is to be authentic, to be honest, to be real. Our scripture reading is Romans 14:1-12.

    They All Had One Language (sure they did) - Rev. Tom Are

    They All Had One Language (sure they did) - Rev. Tom Are

    The story claims that there was a day when all the people of the earth spoke one language. That would surely aid communication. It would certainly benefit unity. If we all spoke the same language and used the same words, it would obviously be easier for everyone to be on the same page. Why did God confuse their language and scatter the people? Our scripture readings are Genesis 11:1-9 and Acts 2:1-13.

    Even God Can Be a Troublemaker - Rev. Tom Are

    Even God Can Be a Troublemaker - Rev. Tom Are

    Two brothers went to worship, and one ended up dead. This tragedy happened, in part, because of envy, but also because God stirred things up in church. Our scripture reading is Genesis 4:1-16.

    I Have a Better Idea - Rev. Tom Are

    I Have a Better Idea - Rev. Tom Are

    It didn’t take long for the train to jump the rails, as they say. The good creation of God falls on hard times as the creatures created in God’s image reject the ways of God. It is the deeds that matter, but deeds always begin with thoughts and motivations. Sometimes, we think our ideas are better than God’s ideas. Our scripture readings are Genesis 2:15-17 and Genesis 3:1-21.

    It’s Not Good in the Garden - Rev. Tom Are, Jr.

    It’s Not Good in the Garden - Rev. Tom Are, Jr.

    The Bible begins with some remarkable stories. They read like stories of people who lived at the beginning of time, but they are better understood as stories that describe what is true about all people. At the most basic level, these stories bear witness to what is good and what is not good. Our scripture reading is Genesis 2:4b-9, 15-25.

    Jesus and the Least of These - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka

    Jesus and the Least of These - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka

    In the Gospel of Matthew, we read of a time when all peoples of the earth will be judged not according to our wealth or power but according to how we treat a special group of persons: the least of these. Why? Because in caring for the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, sick, and the prisoner, we care for Jesus himself. Our scripture reading is Matthew 25:31-40.
