I AM, So You Can: The Good Shepherd - Rev. Meg Peery McLaughlin (03.16.25)
Sermon by Meg Peery McLaughlin from John 10:11-18 Lent is the season when we ask ourselves, “Who is this Jesus, anyway? What is he about? Why should I want to follow him?” Nowhere is Jesus more clear about these questions than in the Gospel of John. He comes right out and says who he is through the seven “I am” statements. These statements are more than ancient words; they are promises that meet us in our questions, fears, and longings. As we walk through the season of Lent together, we will consider how Jesus’ identity shapes our own and calls us to also be bread, light, open doors, good shepherds, etc.

Stories Jesus Told: The One about the Pharisee and Tax Collector - Rev. Meg Peery McLaughlin (02.23.25)
Sermon by Meg Peery McLaughlin from Luke 18: 9-14 Biblical Scholar C.H. Dodd says, “At its simplest, the parable is a metaphor drawn from nature or common life, arresting the hearer by its vividness or strangeness, and leaving the mind in sufficient doubt about its precise application to tease it into active thought.” Join us this February as we pursue the parables and excavate what lessons lie within them.
