When Christians Hold Power
In today’s sermon, three days after we have celebrated the signing of the Declaration of Independence and hence the birth of our nation 233 years ago, around the idea – the idea, not race or soil – that all people are created equal, I want us to look at one scene in in which early Christians –in this case Paul and Barnabas – come into contact with a person who holds considerable political power in the Roman hierarchy of rulers. Looking at this story, I want us to consider what can happen when Christians live and work or at least come in contact with peopl...

When Change Is Rooted in Continuity
We often assume that major times we experience the presence of God or make a deeper commitment to our faith involve a break with the past, more change than continuity. But while the direction of Paul’s life – and the focus of his deeply held service to God – takes a 180 degree turn on the road to Damascus, it is rooted in the faith and life, the language and literature, the vocabulary and vernacular that had shaped and formed him in his upbringing in Judaism. Rev. Larry R. Hayward preaches on the 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time. The Scripture lesson is Acts 9...

How does God use these passages to speak to us about things happening in our community and nation today? How can we make Bible reading more a part of our lives? Larry R.

Jewels in the Attic?: Ideas Have Consequences
In today’s world, ideas have consequences. How important is it to have clear, well-considered ideas of who we are and what we believe? In what spirit do we develop and share those beliefs? And what is the “sound doctrine” that makes up the content of those beliefs? Dr. Larry R. Hayward continues the summer sermon series “Jewels in the Attic?” The Scripture lesson is 2 Timothy 1:8–14, 2:1–7, 4:1–5.

Jewels in the Attic? Speech and Conduct
This week has been a tough one in our nation, following the deaths of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and the police officers in Dallas. Among the pieces of advice Paul gives Timothy concerning leadership and his own Christian commitment is this: “Set the believers an example in speech and conduct.” How can we -- as individuals, as a community, and as a nation -- seek to listen and move beyond our own comfort zones? Dr. Larry R. Hayward preaches from Psalm 77 and 1 Timothy 4.

Jewels in the Attic?: A Hint of Equality
When it comes to the Bible, how do we decide if its words more reflect attitudes of its own day and time than attitudes that lie in the heart and mind of God? Do we have the right to conclude that one part of the Bible has authority for us, while another part doesn’t, that one part bears witness to God’s Word while another part bears no such witness? Larry R. Hayward explores this challenge through 1 Timothy 2:1-15 and Old Testament scholar Phyllis Trible’s article “Authority of the Bible.”

The Peace That Is No Peace
Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: Not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” What do these words mean? How can they shape us in the same way that the 23rd Psalm or Lincoln’s Second Inaugural or “Little Red Corvette” have shaped us today? How does the peace Christ offers differ from the peace the world offers, and how does his peace “let not our hearts be troubled, and neither let [them] be afraid?” Rev. Dr. Larry R.

Throughout the season of Lent, the sermons will feature the poems of George Herbert (1593-1633), a Welsh poet and Anglican priest who wrote between the Age of Shakespeare and the Age of Milton. Five poems, published in 1633, formed the basis of Ralph Vaughan Williams “Five Mystical Songs,” written between 1906 and 1911. On Palm Sunday, the choir will present all five of these songs. Today, using the poem “Love Bade Me Weclome,” Dr. Larry R. Hayward examines communion in the context of Presbyterian worship. The Scripture lesson is 1 Corinthians 11:23-26.

A Striking Mode of Life
"As human beings and as Christians, I believe we can be a significant part of the light shining in the darkness and the darkness not overcoming it. But participating in such light is more difficult to do if, as I am prone to do, we ignore the source of the light. If the light that shines in the darkness is Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, the source of that light is God himself." Rev. Dr. Larry R. Hayward continues preaching from John 1:1-18.
