James cautions against losing control of the words we use—especially when it comes to judging others. While it is possible to choose to say nothing, it is even more important to do the inner work of addressing the judgmental heart. This sermon concludes with a guided reflection.

Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “Artisan Summer Read: Long Way Home”

A Long Way Home depicts a moment when Saroo is not sure he finds that remembering his early childhood is painful, yet he can't help but continue to remember it because it is all he has. We turn to the scriptures to find God's people being called both to remembrance and to embracing new life in Christ. How do we keep these in balance?

If we read Jesus’s life well, we should be able to recognize where and how our societies continue to produce scapegoats; then, we can stop the cycle of violence and blame because we know the truth. Speaker: Jennifer Bradshaw

In the famous sand unsettling Bible story of David and Bathsheba, a powerful man commits a grave sin against a powerless woman, and then covers his actions with violence. Then a prophet calls the powerful man to account. But who are WE in this story, and where does Jesus fit in?
