CURRENT SERMON SERIES: Dispatches from Cell 92: Bonhoeffer on Faith and Resistance January 12–March 2 Some call him a martyr. Others a spy and assassin. But before his arrest and execution by the Nazis in 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a pastor and theologian whose writings on Christianity have become more relevant today than ever. In this six-part series, we’ll explore Bonhoeffer’s thoughts on grace, faith, responsibility, and resistance for clues about how we might live out our faith in ways that make a difference in today’s world.  The series includes an all-church book study and documentary film discussion.

CURRENT (ADVENT) SERMON SERIES: Waiting Room [ December 1 – December 22 ] Waiting. Waiting for the phone to ring. Waiting for the test results. Waiting for the traffic to clear. Waiting for the storm to pass. Waiting for the light to change. Waiting for your ship to come in. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. Waiting for the show to start. Waiting for the sun to rise. Waiting for a girl like you. Waiting on the world to change. We spend so much of our lives waiting for whatever it is we fear we do not have and believe we cannot live without—and we know all too well that, as Tom Petty famously crooned, the waiting is the hardest part. But what are we really waiting for? What are you waiting for? Maybe, in the end, what we’re all really waiting for is for our waiting to finally be over—to be delivered from the chronic sense of lack and the expectancy of what might be, and to finally be at peace with what is, with who we are, with what we have, right here, right now. Advent is a time to acknowledge our lack and
