     | 12,700 views

    God's not finished working on us at the potter's wheel. Hope is never lost!

    God’s Not Finished With Me Yet! I'm going off-script this morning. I usually preach from the Gospel lesson, but I feel like the Jeremiah reading is timely for us today. Sometimes we need spiritual encouragement. Jeremiah knew that, and he told the story of a potter’s wheel. I hope this sermon ...read more

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Sep 30, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,278 views

    This is a sermon about Lazarus and the rich man who passed him at his gate. The theme is to clear our spiritual eyes to see the needs around us and act to help the ones in need.

    Clean your glasses: Seeing those in need I heard something kind of funny last week about our eyesight changing. When I visited a family member, there was a cartoon clipping on the refrigerator that read, “I don’t stress about my eyesight failing as I get older. It’s God’s way of protecting me from ...read more

    Faith And Forgiveness.

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Oct 7, 2019
     | 3,581 views

    This sermon is how faith "the size of a mustard seed" actually gives us the ability to offer forgiveness to others.

    "Faith and Forgiveness" Allow me to begin today with some self-disclosure: I do not understand exactly what faith is, or how it works. But I have a couple of ideas from the lesson that might be helpful. More on that in a moment, but first I’ve got to share some humor. Have you ever ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,553 views

    This sermon focuses on what Jesus told the disciples they should do when the destruction of the temple would occur. It's a practical and applicable look at ways to endure difficulties.

    Carrots, Eggs, and Coffee: Responding to Adversity I’m a sucker for those cheesy “There’s good news/bad news” jokes. I heard one this week that I’m compelled to pass along… An art gallery owner said to a local artist, “I have some good news and some bad news.” The artist asked, “What’s the good ...read more

     | 3,059 views

    Those who wanted to follow Christ were told to follow him and not even burry their dead. This sermon explores how Jesus called to deeper discipleship.

    Grumpy Jesus: Feelings and Focus Have you ever been grumpy? I don't mean mere frustration; I mean, have you ever been in a place where no one could do anything right? Maybe you haven’t, but I bet you can notice it in other people. That sounds a lot like Jesus in Today's Gospel reading. ...read more

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jul 3, 2019
     | 3,460 views

    The Holy Spirit can heal the factions among us and bring us into unity with God and others. Then our mission is liberated because our focus is on Jesus's great commission​.

    Pentecost: Unified Diversity Sermon by The Rev. Rian Adams Pentecost is a strange day on the church calendar because we want to celebrate, but the Acts reading about speaking in tongues and erratic spiritual experiences is a little unsettling. I’ve learned that if we talk too often about ...read more

    The Law of Love: How Compassion Can Change Your Life By The Rev. Rian Adams Have you ever wondered how to spot a hypocrite?

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 5, 2019
     | 3,344 views

    This sermon plays on Jesus's story of "bigger barns" as winning the lottery

    What Will You Do if You Win the Lottery? The lesson this morning is about greed, which is not the easiest subject to preach.

     | 5,968 views

    A sermon on how compassion changed the woman with the crooked spine, and how the synagogue ruler's religiosity resisted kindness. Compassion should always win.

    Compassion Changes Conditions I cried when I read the hunchback of Notre Dame. Victor Hugo’s novel is one that stays with you your whole life because we see pieces of each character in ourselves.

    The Blessings Of Hardships

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019
     | 6,039 views

    Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

    The Blessing of Hardships Since this Gospel reading is intense, I thought I’d begin by admitting something kind of funny about it. When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more
