Traditional worship with beautiful sanctuaries, choral music, and liturgical services — congregations that connect faith with history and a long-standing community presence.

#BeyondTheRules
“Now, the thing is, with fences, I can't say that I think Jesus really liked the fences. If you think about the debates he had with Pharisees who were trying to go through minutiae of different traditions and rituals and laws that they had, I think those were fences. And Jesus was kinda like, guys, I don't think that's the main point.”
34s
#ThriveInCommunity
“there's a difference between being able to stand on your own and believing that you were designed to live alone. That's a lie. You can survive without everybody, but you cannot become everything God designed you to become without anybody. I don't care how strong you are, how gifted you are, how educated you are, how saved you are, how much money you have, how many degrees you have on the wall. You cannot be your best self by yourself.”
37s
“Verse five, commit your way to the Lord. There's this word trust again. Trust in him, and he will act. I love this. It's this unwavering confidence in God. We don't know the future. His ways are above our ways. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust in him, and he will act. It isn't you will act. It isn't I will act. It isn't I'll be empowered and emboldened someday to to do act. It's no. No. No. No. Trust your way to the Lord. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust in him, and he will act. That's a powerful verse for some of us here this morning. Be still and wait patiently.”
51s
“``Do you know that most of Jesus's miracles never happened in the synagogue? Most of his miracles happen where? Outside. Most of his miracles happen in the marketplace. Most of his healings happen in the marketplace. Most of his healings happen where people were at work. Come on. Jesus has anointed you. Come on, lift those hands. Oh god. Come on, lift those hands. The spirit of the lord. I want to pray for some folks who are ready to be launched. I want to pray for some folks who are ready to be released, who say yes, yes, I hear the word of the lord on today and I'm I I have decided that today is my day of coming out. I received the message of Jubilee.”
32s
#RejectScarcityFaith
“Because that's what most people are asking you to preserve when they say die to yourself and they're talking about not being queer anymore or staying in your place as a woman in the hierarchy. When they're saying die to yourself, they're saying, hey, don't let your bigness, your fullness outshine your place in the system, in the order of the way that we think things should be. That is institutional survival strategy. It is scarcity, and it is not what Jesus is talking about.”
57s
#ShareTheGrace
“In my own faith journey, I have learned from people of other faiths and traditions. But at the end of the day, for myself, I have found the most complete truth of God in Jesus Christ and in the Methodist tradition of Christianity. I have tried several other denominations of Christianity. What if what God really wants is for us to invite people to the well of grace that is Jesus Christ to receive salvation, for us to go out and share God's message like Jonah did, like Obadiah did, like Isaiah did, even if we are uncomfortable with someone's identity or culture or experience.”
49s
#GraceForEveryone
“Now, as we heard in the Old Testament, Jonah went to Nineveh once he got out of that fish or whale because God loved the people of Nineveh. Now Nineveh is the Babylonian Empire. Nineveh is the bad guys. Nineveh, those are the enemies. They're the ones who come and destroy Jerusalem eventually. Jonah never could quite understand what God was getting at. But Jonah was obedient and he went. And the people of Nineveh, to be honest, witnessed to Jonah. They immediately heard God's message, accepted God's message, and started worshiping God and changed their ways.”
42s
#OpenToGrace
“The other thing is anyone can come up to a well. There's no gate. Anyone who comes by can share in the water of the well. The well draws cattle in, and so this is more of a universalist approach, but it also means the cattle need to keep track of where the water is. And so there's some accountability there. There's some individual choice and individual engagement I'm gonna stay close enough to the water to get it when I need it.”
35s
#StayNearTheWell
“A well is different. When you have a herd and you have a well, they figure out where the water is and they also figure out how far they can wander away from the water before they've gone too far and they can't get back when they need the water. So there's a little bit more choice. There's a little more accountability. If you go too far, you're going to pay the consequences of wandering away from the water.”
49s
#BeyondTheFence
“People, when we find ourselves inside fences or rigid rules, we like to test those fences. We like to see just how close we can get, you know, especially if it's an electric fence. I don't know if you grew up in places with electric fences, but especially if there were boys on a farm, they were always testing just how strong that electric current was. But fences also mean you don't entirely have to take responsibility for yourself. You can assume everything inside the fence is safe and I can do whatever I want in here. And I don't really have to think too hard. As long as I'm inside, I'm safe.”
