Giving Voice to the Voiceless – Dec. 12, 2021

December 12, 2021

Brian Recker speaking at RMC on Dec. 12, 2021

Brian Recker provided the sermon on this third Sunday of Advent based on the scripture passages in Judges 13:2-7 and Luke 1:46-56. The writer of Luke doesn’t keep Mary in the margins. Not only do we hear her voice in this passage, this is actually the longest set of words spoken by a woman in […]

Revolutionary Magnificat – Dec. 15, 2019

December 15, 2019

Melissa preaching at RMC on August 18, 2019

Isaiah 35:1-10 & Luke 1:46-55 When women in the Bible have something to say, it often comes out as a song. Mary’s song, recounted in Luke 1, is revolutionary. God is on the side of the dispossessed and Mary sings of the revolution taking place through God’s world-toppling love. Melissa’s message was preceded by a […]

Pondering – Dec. 30, 2018

December 30, 2018

Melissa speaking at the Dec. 24, 2018 Christmas Eve service.

Melissa preached from Matthew 1:17-25, the story of an incredibly creative act of God. The doctrine of the virgin birth becomes, as Karl Barth says, “The guard at the door of the mystery of Christmas.”
