Say Yes
11.3 - 11.24.2024
We live in a world of
“no.” No, I do not have time for
that. No, I do not want to buy
that. No, I do not want to give to that. No, I will not participate in that. We live in a world of “no” and we say “no” a
lot! Most of us know that there is also
power in saying “yes.” Yes, I want more
compassion in the world. Yes, I want
more margin in my life. Yes, I want to
have a positive influence on the world.
Yes, I want to live a life filled with joy. The Christian tradition does not need
anything from you. Neither God, Jesus,
nor the Holy Spirit needs anything from you.
However, God has a deep desire for you and that is for you to live a
full and abundant life. A key element to
experiencing this is the practice of generosity. God’s deepest desire for you is the live
generously in support of God’s work and will in this world. During this year’s stewardship series, my
prayer is that you will learn to say “yes” to generosity anticipating that God
will use it to transform the world - Rev. Dr. Jim Hoffman

Simon, Peter, Cephas
9.15 - 10.06.2024
Of all the characters in the New Testament, I find Simon Peter to be the one to whom I easily relate. He is a flawed character trying to figure out what it means to follow Jesus, even to the uttermost. He has his moments of triumph and has moments of failure. He can appear to have a split personality because of his vacillating back and forth. Most of all though, he is persistent.
Interspersed with a couple of other sermons, we will weave in an out of the story of Peter for the next few weeks. I am confident that we will see how God called a complicated man who goes from being a Galilean fisherman to the head of the church in Jerusalem. It is a story I am looking forward to diving into and sharing with you.- Rev. Dr. Jim Hoffman
