Summer Sermon Series: Reveal and Disrupt
Continuing through September 6, our Summer 2026 sermon series, Reveal and Disrupt, will explore the parables of Jesus - focusing especially on the “unique parables” found in only one of the Gospels. These lesser-known stories offer rich insight and fresh perspective. As theologian and author Richard Lischer reminds us, parables are meant to both “reveal and disrupt.” They reveal the kingdom of God in fresh and unexpected ways, opening our eyes to deeper truths about grace, justice, and love. At the same time, they disrupt our assumptions, challenge our comfort, and invite us to reexamine how we live in response to God’s call. Each week, we will listen closely to these stories - stories that continue to speak across time - and consider how they might reveal God’s presence in our lives today while also disrupting the patterns that keep us from fully embracing that vision. Come ready to listen, reflect, and be transformed.
