May 21, 2024

This spring and early summer Melissa and a number of guest speakers are exploring questions that congregation members have been wondering about. These questions and themes were gathered during a Church Life Meeting and through queries Melissa sent out to the congregation. If you missed a message, you can catch up via one of the […]

A Gift With No Strings Attached – Oct. 23, 2022

October 23, 2022

Melissa shared The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Luke 18:9-14) in its original form and as it might play out right here at Raleigh Mennonite. This version as acted out had a Bishop, a philanthropist, an activist and a payday lender. The first three were smug in their righteousness and celebrated that […]

The Angry son – March 26, 2022

March 28, 2022

The parable is The Prodigal Son but Melissa’s sermon focused on the older brother. The brother that stayed behind, served his father, tended the fields and flock and waited for his inheritance. He’s working in the field when his brother returns having squandered the inheritance he demanded while his father was still alive. Facing starvation […]

Easter Sunday, The Good News – April 4th, 2021

April 8, 2021

2021 RMC Easter Pageant

God has a way of turning bad news into good news. Easter, the “good news” comes on the heals of some very bad news. This year’s bad news was the pandemic. It affected everything, including being able to meet in person on Easter Sunday. Yet in the mist of the bad news there is “good […]

Turning the World Upside Down – Oct. 18, 2020

October 18, 2020

Melissa Florer-Bixler

A commitment to live without harming others, a commitment to shared life and eating around a common table regardless of class status. These are the ways the Thessalonians receive and live out God’s life in Jesus. With practices that sound harmless but change everything, threaten people in power and turn the world upside down. Despite […]

Bee’s Knees – Sept. 20, 2020

September 24, 2020

Rachel shares her joys, pains and insights of keeping Bees. Bees only survive by working together in community. In Philippians 1:21-30 Paul doesn’t offer Jesus as a path to prosperity nor does he advocate seeking suffering. Instead he is honest that following Jesus is filled with beauty, joy and community but comes at a cost.

The Love of God – Aug. 23, 2020

August 24, 2020

RMC Vritual Choir

Karin shared she feels the love of God when singing hymns with a choir. She noted that currently in the US we live with a mentality of scarcity. A sense that providing even basic needs like heath care to others will limit our own access. We even extend this to God’s love for us, forgetting […]
