Apostles' Creed: Part 7 - The Resurrection

This Sunday we reach the center of the Apostles’ Creed with the line “On the third day he rose again.” The resurrection is the center of the Creed and the center of our faith. What can this line teach us about how we should see the world around us?

Apostles' Creed: Part 6

In this week’s sermon on the Apostles’ Creed, we explore how the early church viewed Jesus’s crucifixion not as a shameful death or as a divine punishment, but rather as God’s ultimate triumph over the powers of darkness. (And as a bonus, Pastor Greg shares his most embarrassing guilty pleasure.)

Apostles' Creed: Part 5

This Sunday we discuss the lines from the creed, "born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate." These lines do something very important: ground our faith in the real world of time and space, flesh and blood.

Apostles' Creed: Part 4 (The Holy Spirit)

This week in our series on the Apostles' Creed, our guest preacher Dr. Jennifer Bashaw (Associate Professor of New Testament and Christian Ministry at Campbell University Divinity School) speaks about how the bible defines the Holy Spirit and how that connects to the Apostles' Creed.

Apostles’ Creed: Part 3 (I believe in Jesus Christ)

This week we begin discussing the Son/Jesus section of the Apostles’ Creed. It is the longest section in the creed and full of interesting and complex elements. But today we will talk about the foundation this first line lays for us: That our faith is real, relational, and revolutionary.

Apostles' Creed: Part 2

What does it mean to call God the “creator of heaven and earth” — and why does it matter today? In this sermon, we explore how this ancient line of the Apostles’ Creed invites us to see God not as a distant builder, but as a poet crafting beauty and meaning into every part of creation. Discover how moments of joy, awe, and community can reveal heaven meeting earth in our everyday lives.

Apostles' Creed: Part 1

This Sunday we begin a new series on the Apostles’ Creed, as we take a look at some background and discuss the first line, “I believe in God, the Father almighty.” In the modern world this can be a difficult line for some, but seen through an historical lens, it is both surprising and comforting.

The Ten Commandments - Part 10: You Shall Not Covet

This Sunday, we're joined by Franklin Morales from the Episcopal Diocese for a special interview as he and his family prepare for their transition to Canada. We also wrap up our series on the 10 Commandments with the final commandment: You Shall Not Covet. In a world of mass media and constant advertising, it is difficult to talk about coveting, but in some ways this final commandment might be the most important of all. And it brings us full circle back to the beginning.

The Ten Commandments - Part 9: Truth as a Revolutionary Act

It's not just our mouths that participate in and propagate lies. In a media-saturated age, it's also our ears and eyes - the voices we choose to platform. How do we become people of truth in an age of misinformation and algorithmic bias?

The Ten Commandments - Part 8: Don't Be an Aphron (You Shall Not Steal)

This Sunday we discuss the eighth commandment - You shall not steal. This is an easy one to breeze by, but if we’re willing to ask deeper questions there is a powerful calling in this commandment.
