РЕКЛАМА
Steve Preston is the CEO of Goodwill Industries. Though Goodwill is known for big stores where people can donate clothes and buy them secondhand, those stores are just the first level of what Goodwill Industries are about. Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

×Pentecost 2025 Jesus promises us peace (John 14:27) In a world of anxiety and conflict, we yearn for this peace from Jesus. What might this peace look like? Maybe its like a walk home with friends. Yet...a reflection on peace makes us realize the church's need again for Pentecost (Acts 2), to have the Spirit push us through the boundaries that block people from the peace of Jesus. What might this Pentecost look like today? Maybe its like an inflatable bounce house on a warm summer evening. The image comes from the website " Why do Christians celebrate Pentecost ", a Welsh church website.…
Ascension (June 1) We are swimming in information today, but this hasn't made the truth easier to find. Today's sermon is intended for all people, but especially the 8th graders being confirmed. (They were making a public confession of faith, saying yes to the promises made to them in their baptisms). Where can we -- above all young people -- find a truth to build our lives on? This issue of truth is brought to the fore this particular Sunday, when we celebrate the Ascension (Acts 1:1-11), because Jesus sends out the disciples "to by my witnesses." To be a witness means there is a truth we are called to point to in our lives. Pastor Rob offers that in the ancient proclamation of faith -- Christ has died, Christ is Risen and Christ will come again -- we find a truth we can stand on and one we can witness to all the days of our lives.…
Easter VI (May 25, 2025) "Do you want to be made well?" Jesus asks the man who has been sick for 38 years! The obvious answer should be "yes", but it isn't. In our lives too, we often fall into cycles and situations in which we are not well, but we aren't quite capable of rising above the situation. Into this situation comes Jesus, willing to offer compassion and challenge beyond anything we've experienced before. The art is by Nathan Greene. You can purchase it here . I am sensitive to images of Jesus in which Jesus looks European instead of middle Eastern, but I loved the combination of compassion and power in this artist's rendition.…
"A New Commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, love one another." How can Jesus command love, something seemingly impossible to command? And what might it mean to love others as Jesus has loved us? To get at these questions, we look at the setting of Jesus giving this new commandment, namely, when he washes the disciple's feet. As we ponder this act of service, we discover not only the depth of challenge in Jesus words to love as he loved, but also the word of grace and promise contained in them. This is a screenshot of an artwork by Alida Bothma. You can view the Etsy site to purchase the print .…
Easter IV (May 11 2025) What is your “full name” — the thing that people say after your name that completes their description of you? For example, “That is Jane, she is a great teacher” or “That is Sam, he is an amazing basketball player” Today we learn the full name of an early believer in the book of Acts (9:36-43): Tabitha, aka Dorcas, “was always doing good and helping the poor…” What a beautiful full name! Pastor Rob offers a word of challenge today: In your quest to make a good full name for yourself, have you focused on the right things? It is very tempting to focus on the “resume” virtues instead of the “obituary” virtues! There is also a profound word of grace today in today’s reading, a reminder that ultimately, God has the last word on our name and not our mistakes, failures or bad things that have happened to us. Note: I do not have permission (yet) to post this artwork by a Christian artist named Sarah Beth, but I found it so beautiful! You can purchase the art here .…
Easter III (May 4, 2025) The story seems like comfortable at first: The disciples go fishing, they eat breakfast with Jesus and then Peter tells Jesus he loves him. (John 21:1-17) But once you start digging, you realize this is a story about the power of shame. Peter is ashamed of his denial of Jesus and this manifests itself in all sorts of typical shame behavior Avoiding Covering Up Focusing on self and past mistakes How then can Peter move forward? How can we move forward in our shame? It turns out that nice guy Jesus isn’t going to cut it. Instead, we need the son of the living God to redeem us from sin and shame. The painting is by Tissot. It is on display at the Brooklyn Museum of Art…
Easter 2025 Easter is a time of memories, including memories of our loved ones who have died. The first Easter, in fact, began with a trip the place of memories — the word for tomb in Greek is memory! A reflection on memories and how the resurrection changes everything, including how we understand our memories. The image comes from the Kid’s Corner Bible site .…
Good Friday 2025 Where you there? It is a more haunting question than it sounds. (Based on the passion of John, found in chapters 18-19 ). In the end, yes, yes, you and I were there.
Palm Sunday (April 13, 2025) What does it mean to have power? The Roman Empire displayed a type of power we know: The ability to get what you want, when you want it. Their imperial parades were the example of power, as the leaders rode in on majestic horses. You could call this horse power. Jesus offered a different vision of power: The ability to help others. His parade, as he rode on donkey, showed what this power looks like. You could call this donkey power. Helping others through acts of love, humility and service. Definitely not as glorious in the eyes of the world. (I mean, really, look at the picture of the donkey. Not the most inviting!) A reflection on Horse power and Donkey power. Hint: Horse power isn’t all bad, but it finally takes the back seat. The donkey comes from a blogpost called “ Donkeys, Kings and Outcasts “…
Lent V (April 6, 2025) Who are people with whom you can share your joy and happiness? In our world of work, school, activities and even family, this kind of friendship and community is surprisingly rare. Too many relationships have competition, jealousy and shame for this to happen readily. As we wrap up the book of Ruth, we encounter a rejoicing Naomi. She is holding a grandson. Admittedly, it is not directly her grandson, but after the chaos, grief and loss of her life, she is rejoicing at this baby in her arms. She is also surrounded by the women of the village, who rejoice with her. A reflection on how the community of Jesus, the community of the cross and empty tomb, can provide this community of rejoicing for a hurting and lonely world. The artwork comes from Gospel Images, https://www.gospelimages.com/paintings/115/naomi-receives-a-grandson It was chosen because it emphasizes the whole community around Naomi and Ruth.…
Lent IV (March 30, 2025) We know well the look of the older brother in the painting. His whole body shouts: “It’s not fair!” He is not wrong. As the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-35) plays itself out, the story is unfair. Which justifiably angers the older brother. As humans, we all protest when we don’t think things are fair. In order to make life together work, we need their to be fairness. Yet… It turns out in life that we encounter situations in which we need more than fairness. Sometimes the wounds and situations call for compassion, an unfair extension of mercy, an intentional bending of the rules to help someone. A reflection on when life together needs compassion and where to go for the at compassion. The painting is by Rembrandt, The Return of the Prodigal.…
Lent 3 (March 23, 2025) Life Together — our Lenten theme — sounds great, but what about the times we found ourselves as an outsider? Pastor Rob reflects outsider-insider dynamics by looking at the book of Ruth, as Ruth begins her new life in Bethlehem (Ruth 2:1-7). As we work with the story, we see that at certain points in our lives, we are like Ruth, an outsider; at other points, we are like Naomi, a bridge builder; at other points, we are like Boaz, the insider. As it turns out, each role can be a sacred role. Perhaps though this story isn’t just about our lives though, but also foreshadows the work of Christ, who becomes an outsider for us that we might become an insider with him. The image comes from a leadership website about insider/outsider dynamics .…
Lent 2 (March 16, 2025) Naomi, Ruth and Orpah are three women who are grieving (Ruth 1). The deaths they have encountered force them to make tough decisions that include both separation but also deeper connection. When we experience loss, through death, break-ups or illness, it often impacts our relationships. Some come to an end; others are new or renewed in a profound way. We find that even in the face of death and loss, God is still the God of easter and resurrection, who gives us life together. This painting is likely actually a poster by Veronica McDonald. You can find it here .…
Lent 1 (March 9, 2025) Two truths and a lie – a game we’ve probably all played. Today, the devil plays a far higher stakes version of the game, sowing a lie amidst the truth as he tempts Jesus. This Lent we are focusing on Life Together; there is nothing more toxic to life together than lies. And while lying has always been part of the human story (the prince of lies is always at work!), our modern world’s technology makes it so hard for us to figure out how to distinguish between truth and lies. A reflection on what it means to build a community of truth.…
Eat Less Fear; Behold More Glory We eat a LOT of fear in daily lives. This works disease in our souls, blinding us to God’s glory and blocking us from living as disciples. In the Transfiguration of Jesus (Luke 9:28-38), we learn another path of dealing with fear and beholding the glory of God: Going to the mountain, praying and listening to Jesus. What might it mean to go to the mountain? One example: Watching children at the church’s early learning center fascinated by a visiting dog. A reflection on how to eat less fear and behold more glory; wrapping up with the promises of Jesus, who listens to us, prays for us and gives us his glory.…
