Seeing & Not Believing – March 19, 2023

March 19, 2023

Melissa preaching at RMC on March 19, 2023, with a quilt behind her and a plant and stalks of brown grass and wheat on a table in front of her.

On this fourth Sunday of Lent Melissa preached from John 9:1-41 and Romans 5:1-11. The story of Jesus healing the man who was born blind, and the subsequent questioning by the Pharisees illustrates the difference between being cured and being healed. After he gains his sight, he is repeatedly questioned by the people in power […]

Confession and Sin – March 12, 2023

March 14, 2023

Melissa preaching at RMC on March 12, 2023 in front of a quilted wall hanging.

On this third Sunday of Lent, Melissa spoke from Romans 5:1-11. Most of our sins aren’t interesting or dangerous. They’re mostly petty and boring and cruel. We short change both the chasm of our failings and the grace of God when we limit the scope of our sins to doing bad things. Our sins are […]

Questions of Identity – March 5, 2023

March 5, 2023

Melissa preaching at Raleigh Mennonite in front of a quilted wall hanging.

On this second Sunday of Lent Melissa preached from Romans 4:1-5, 13-17, weaving in basketball with the ongoing theme of confession, along with talking about community and identity. What if our identity isn’t a story about heroics or world-changing? What if the only way to tell each other apart is that we forgive each other?

Making God into Something Else – Feb. 26, 2023

February 27, 2023

Melissa preaching at RMC on Feb. 26, 2023 in front of a quilted wall hanging.

On this first Sunday of Lent, Melissa preached from Genesis 2:15-17 & 3:1-7 and Romans 5:12-19. During this season we are focusing our time and attention toward “confession.” We have varied experiences with confessions. Confession is when we come clean, when we tell the truth about who we are. We are not God!

The Promise of Pentecost – June 9, 2019

June 23, 2019

Rachel preaching July 15, 2018

Acts 2:1-4, Romans 8:14-39 Rachel draws from Trevor Noah’s memoir Born a Crime to recount the power of understanding many languages. Pentecost calls us to welcome others, to be changed, to be vulnerable, to learn new languages. “The promise of Pentecost is that we are being made into a people, speaking many languages, to praise […]
