Resurrecting Faith (Week 3)
A Gallup poll reported recently that less than 50% of Americans are members of a church, synagogue, or mosque. Pew Research reported that the people who sensed a deep sense of peace and spiritual well-being increased during that same time period. Not surprisingly, it has been trending in this direction for decades. How are we, as a spiritual community, to respond?

Searching for a Miracle (Palm Sunday)
Why don't we see the miracles of Jesus today?" It's a common question, as we read stories of healing and hope and power in the Gospels. During this season of Lent, the 6-week season approaching Easter, we will take a closer look at some of Jesus' miracles and consider how we are invited to not only witness but also participate in these miracles today. What does it mean to turn water into wine? To walk on water? To cast out demons? Are these miracles bound in the pages of our Bibles, or could they come alive once again?

Our Work
In an economy of grace, work is a public good, not a private one.
Work gives our lives purpose and stability; it gives us a form of identity.
If God has called us to love each other, then perhaps it is love that is our work.
‘Til Gods' work is done and all things are made new; God has work for us to do.

Leaning Forward Into the World
Today’s scripture reading is from Paul’s letter to the Philippians, Chapter 1, vs. 9-11. At Arapaho UMC, we say we are a forward-leaning Christian community. This describes our desire to be in conversation with others to make a positive impact in the world as we work towards greater social justice, bearing what Paul calls the fruits of righteousness.

You Will Know a Tree by its Fruit
A sermon based on Matthew Chapter 7 - What Fruit Do Your Works Bear?
“Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” ~ from the Letter from the Birmingham Jail (1963) by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
As we reflect on recent events, it’s important to remember that this is not who we are. We a called to bear fruits of justice, mercy, and love.
