The Racial Justice Group led the worship service this Sunday. The scriptures wer Isaiah 58:6-12; Revelation 21:1-7; Luke 10:25-7.  The sermon was given through three personal though provoking perspectives of Mary McClelland (growing up with segregation), Magda Rolfes (how we can do better to fight racism) , and Merrit Gillard (white supremacy's subtle permutations). 

On Commitment Sunday, Pastor Judith talks about tithing, living the Jesus way of life and building your life on a strong foundation.  

Pastor Judith preaches on two apocryphal readings: 2 Esdras 6:42-44; Sirach 11:1-6; and New Testament Readings: Ephesian 1:17-23; and Matthew 6:25-34.  She talks about how do we live out the kingdom of God while bombarded with messages that provoke our anxiety?  Note: The podcast concludes with a surprise postlude that was not even listed in the bulletin but had joyfully clapping.

Guest preacher, The Rev. Dr. Beth Ford Friend, speaks on Jeremiah 31:27-34, 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5, and Luke 18:1-8.  She talks about how we are transformed through prayer in ways we may not even realize and encourages us to keep praying.  "Who understands faithful action and persistence better than God?"

Pastor Judith preaches on Sirach 42:15, 43:23-33 and Ephesian 4:1-6 and explores how God is high and holy but also near.  She cites Mary Oliver's quote "Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell About it." to encourage us to be aware of the world around us.

Pastor Judith concludes her Acts sermons series with Acts 27:13-44 on the shipwreck with Paul and how it speaks to not being afraid of change or discernment for God has been this way before.

Judith preaches about Paul and Silas from Acts 16:16-34 and explores spiritual freedom--a liberation of the soul that frees us from these sorts of things that hold our hearts and minds in bondage, a freedom  that allows us to live more fully into who have been created and redeemed to be as followers of Jesus, a soul freedom that can be present even in those who do not enjoy political liberty and may even be quite literally enslaved or imprisoned.

Judith preaches on Acts 2:1-21 through the lens of Trinity's history for this special 75th anniversary celebration worship.  

On the Sunday of confirmation and gradate recognition, Judith preaches on the blessing, sending, invitation, and promise of Jesus kind of prayer found in Acts 2:42-47.  Due to a full service with communion and confirmation, this podcast sermon is an excerpt.  To read her full sermon, please go to the website www.trinityarlington.org/recentsermons
