The Bible is an incredibly political book. From kings and their kingdoms to prophets speaking truth to power. From a God who liberates the oppressed to a Jesus killed on a Roman cross. What might the stories we find in Scripture be inviting us into this fall?
The Sunday Sermon Schedule
(Podcasts drop on the following Tuesday):
September 8th | Prophets, Kings, and The People (Deuteronomy 17) - How the form of political structures impacts our responsibility
September 15th | Established by God (Romans 13) - What does Paul mean when he says that authorities are 'established by God'
September 22nd | Give to Caesar (Mark 12) - Did Jesus tell people to pay their taxes...and what else was he trying to say
September 29th | The Third Oracle of Balaam (Numbers 24) - How does a blessing in the Wilderness impact our posture today
October 6th | The Cross and the Sword (Luke 22) - What type of power does Jesus invite us into and how does that differ from Christian Nationalism

This summer at Peace we will focus on spiritual training. Like our physical bodies need exercise and proper nutrition, our spiritual lives need to be built up. The Apostle Paul talks about training to win the race (1 Corinthians 9:24-27).
What does it mean to win?
How do we train?
How should we run?
Pastor and author, Gary Thomas, wrote a book called Sacred Pathways, describing and outlining nine ways that people naturally engage faith and experience God. As people are unique, the ways we engage God and faith will be different for many of us. Therefore, we will not only learn about, but experience the nine pathways this summer.
Not every week will have a sermon...most weeks won't. Instead, be prepared to experience faith in unique ways.
Our hope is that as the political and societal atmosphere can get contentious during a challenging election season, if our spiritual lives (our spiritual muscles) are built up, we can show up with more space for grace, kindness, and self-control. We can offer a better path of love, belonging, justice, and mercy...not just a path of bitterness and cynicism.

Lessons in the Leaves |
In this final sermon of our series: Lessons in the Leaves, we dive into the story of Jesus cursing the fig tree. Why does Jesus do this? It seems like such an odd thing for him to do. Is there a lesson he was teaching people in that moment? Could that lesson still resonate with us today?
In addition, this was CONFIRMATION SUNDAY. At 18:51 you can hear a little about each of our confirmands.
AND, on this Sunday, we also said good-bye to Laura Clapp, our choir director. At 25:40 you can hear about the impact Laura has made on our community and her plans for this fall.

Lessons in the Leaves |
Did you know the Bible begins and ends with people around the Tree of Life? Did you know that both Jesus and Jonah cursed a fig tree? Did you know that Ezekiel uses the word ‘tree’ 31 times?! As the spring starts to warm up and we find ourselves spending more time outside, let’s see what we can learn from the leaves.
This episode features special guest, Reverend Cullen Tanner. Cullen is currently the Technology and Ministry Specialist for the MN Annual Conference.
