Melissa preaching on Nov. 7. 2021

Almost the entirety of Jesus’ time on earth is spent fixing and feeding and holding and weeping and walking and exorcising. So do […]

What is this Passover Feast? – Jan. 19, 2020

January 19, 2020

Rachel Taylor preaching at RMC January 19, 2020

Exodus 12:3-13 and Mark 14:12-25 Our biblical example of communion stems from Jesus sharing the Passover meal with his disciples. Rachel reflects on how the church’s communion practice, particularly in white-dominant congregations, can deepen rather than heal racial divisions in the church as it did in the past when white slave owners required those they […]

June 17, 2018

Melissa speaking at RMC on April 8, 2018

In the last sermon in her series on the 10 commandments, Melissa focuses on the tenth from Exodus 20:17.

She uses 2 Samuel 11:1-13, the story of David and Bathsheba, to explain that coveting has to do […]

But she intertwines this Old Testament passage with the Gospel reading from Mark 10:17-31, what we typically refer to as the story of the rich young ruler. Jesus tells this man and the disciples–and us–that the commandments all along have been […]
