Scripture includes: 2 Samuel 1:1, 17-27
Rev. Dr. Libby Grammer will preach a sermon entitled, “God Saves”
David’s grief for Saul and Jonathan was genuine, and by living through his grieving, he was able to move into his role as king. Where are we choosing to live into our griefs and burdens, and where are we failing to do so? God can and will help us not only survive, but thrive. Even through our grieving, God saves.
This is the season after Pentecost in the Christian year. Having celebrated the “birthday of the church” through the giving of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, we enter the Season after Pentecost for 24 weeks, to celebrate the existence of the church and recall her mission in the world. The liturgical color for the season is green, symbolic of the church’s growth and mission.
Summer Sermon Series: God is at Work-Expect the Unexpected. This Summer, we are exploring stories from the Hebrew Bible in 1 & 2 Samuel. In re-reading these biblical narratives of Samuel and David who find themselves in God’s plan in unexpected ways, may we find our own unexpected places in God’s narrative for our lives.

Scripture includes: 1 Samuel 17:1-49
Rev. Dr. Libby Grammer will preach a sermon entitled, “God Leads”
We’ve heard the story of David and Goliath many times if we’ve been around church long enough. It’s a staple Old Testament narrative from grade school on. And for years, I’ve always considered the actions of David the shepherd boy, yet I realize now that the true action was always God’s in this story. David simply brought faith into the Israelite camp. What does it mean to have the faith of David, trusting God when everything seems hopeless? It is God who leads in this story. Is it God who leads in our lives?

In re-reading these biblical narratives of Samuel, David, and Solomon who find themselves in God’s plan in unexpected ways, may we find our own unexpected places in God’s narrative for our lives.

Scripture includes: 1 Samuel 15:34-16:13
Rev. Dr. Libby Grammer will preach a sermon entitled, “God Sees”
The least likely of Jesse’s sons is called to the kingship in Israel. How often do we miss out on the gifts of others who we deem “less than” when God sees more than we could ever imagine in their lives? As we consider God’s call of shepherd boy David, where are our blind spots – where are we missing God’s actions within the lives of unlikely people? How can we see like God sees?

Scripture includes: 1 Samuel 8:4-20; 11:14-15
Rev. Dr. Libby Grammer will preach a sermon entitled, “God Responds”
Israel is at a crossroads and they ask their prophet for a king. God’s response reminds them that this trading of one system of government for another comes with a cost, but more than that, this response reminds Samuel and Israel of their relationship to God in the midst of whatever form of government they have. How is God reminding us of our relationship to God in our own season of governmental change of our primary allegiances? How can we live into the unexpected ways God wants us to live in the midst of the world as it is?
This is the season after Pentecost in the Christian year. Having celebrated the “birthday of the church” through the giving of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, we enter the Season after Pentecost for 24 weeks, to celebrate the existence of the church and recall her mission in the world. The liturgical color for the season is green, symbolic of the church’s growth and mission. On the first Sunday of each month, we celebrate communion, and the liturgical color changes to white to recognize the holiness and majesty of Christ.
