What Do We Do Now?
<p>This week’s sermon explores the significance of the biblical story of Jesus' "ascension into heaven"--his final departure from his followers after the resurrection. By exploring historical Christian art to illustrate the diverse ways humans have tried to visualize this mysterious transition, Pastor Eric invites us to find truth not in the specific or literal details of "how it happened/could have happened," but rather in the experience of what was happening: namely, that Jesus' departure represents a necessary evolution from depending on him, or simply looking to him for answers. It was time for them to rise up and carry forward the mission.By drawing parallels to personal life transitions and his own upcoming leave of absence, Pastor Eric helps us relate to the disciples' anxiety and need for answers in this moment. In the face of the anxiety caused by such life transitions, he encourages us to find stability not in simple answers nor in the status quo, but in maintaining core spiritual rhythms. True transformation only occurs, and always occurs when we stop seeking detailed maps of the future and instead commit to that which grounds and sustains us in authentic community amidst life changes.</p>

'Honoring All the Women You Have Been' - May 10 sermon
<p>This week’s sermon from Pastor Eric is about themultidimensional reality of motherhood, moving beyond shallow holiday ideas to acknowledge the visceral grief, joy, and political struggle inherent in the experience. Eric challenges the traditional religious views for removing from Mary, mother of Jesus, her humanity by either ignoring her or turning her into a sanitized, passive icon. By examining biblical narratives through a feminist theological lens, the text reimagines Mary as a complex, relatable woman who faced systemic violence and displacement, along with the typical stresses of parenting. The message emphasizes that motherhood is only one facet of a woman's identity, celebrating the "thousand different women" an individual becomes throughout their life. The sermon serves as an invitation to honor the full spectrum of one’s history and the evolving journey of human becoming.</p>

What It Takes to Be "In Community" Sermon May 3
<p>Pastor Eric’s sermon this week explores the meaning of true community. He examines the biblical tensions between the apostles Peter and Paul. While many of us desire the support of a "village," Eric argues that being a genuine villager requires embracing the inconvenience and conflict that arise from diversity. Using the early church's struggle to integrate Jewish and Gentile believers, the narrative highlights the danger of forcing newcomers to assimilate rather than allowing the community to be transformed by their presence. Pastor Eric draws parallels to modern "culture wars" and personal stories of belonging, emphasizing that avoiding discomfort often leads to segregation and loneliness. Ultimately, he calls for a commitment to repentance and repair, urging individuals to risk showing up as their full selves to foster a community grounded in expansive, boundary-crossing love.</p>
