Re-Wilding. 10.15.23. 27:37

6M ago27:37

27:37

10.15.23. People laugh at Presbyterians because we say we like things “decent and in order.” We do need to loosen up. After all, there’s a lot about God in Scripture that is truly wild. This Sunday, we look at one of the wildest prophets, Ezekiel, and compare his writing to an ecological movement known as “re-wilding,” and we ask whether the church…

Making Room in the Boat. 10.8.23. 26:15

6M ago26:15

26:15

10.8.23. Rev. Lewicki walks us through the story of Noah and the Ark. We love to read it to children… but look again. Is this really a children’s story? It’s a story that addresses the most difficult aspects of human nature and our relationship with the earth. It’s particularly powerful to read in a moment of climate catastrophe.…

Creation Makes Room for Us. 10.1.23. 27:30

7M ago27:30

27:30

10.1.23. Rev. Lewicki explores the two creation stories in Genesis. What happens when we look at the world as it is imagined in these two stories? What do they tell us about what the earth and human beings are made for? What might need to change in the ways that we occupy the land that God creates for us all?…

Keeping Promises. 9.24.23. 22:26

7M ago22:26

22:26

9.24.23. In Joshua, God promises God’s people land–and God’s people murder the land’s inhabitants, divide it up, and occupy it. It was a devastating pattern replicated in the Americas–and right here in Georgia. It’s time to reimagine our spiritual relationship to land–to undo the damage of ideologies of occupation and to imagine how to truly share …

A (Shared) Promised Land. 9.17.23. 21:07

7M ago21:07

21:07

9.19.23. In the book of Joshua, God seems to direct Joshua to conduct a divinely-sanctioned ethnic cleansing in order to make room for God’s people in the Promised Land. It’s one of the most chilling books in scripture. Why would we even read it? As we begin exploring our annual theme, Making Room, Rev. Lewicki sees Joshua as a powerful place to be…

Making Room. 9.10.23. 25:38

7M ago25:38

25:38

9.10.23. We begin the new church year with an exploration of our ’23-’24 theme: Making Room. As a person of faith, we are consistently invited by God to make room: for guests at our table, for refugees in our community, for spiritual practices in our busy lives, for… God. It’s harder than it sounds. Over the coming year, we will explore this theme …

Building a Temple for God. 8.20.23. 23:42

8M ago23:42

23:42

8.20.23. If you want to learn something about a person, we often ask, “where are you from?” Where we are from says something about us–what formed us, the shape of the world seen from that place. What happens if we ask that same question of God: where are you from? The answers, drawn from Scripture, are surprising, and they teach us about the charac…

Sabbath. 6.25.23. 20:50

10M ago20:50

20:50

6.25.23. Sabbath. Rest-taking. Let’s be honest: it’s the most brazenly ignored of the 10 Commandments. Capitalism sees no need to stop the machinery of profit-making for a day. Nor do many of us. In the lead-up to his own sabbath-taking, Rev. Lewicki explores the deeply spiritual practice of sabbath rest and how sabbath is intended to be a cultural…

Making Disciples. 6.18.23. 25:35

10M ago25:35

25:35

6.18.23. It’s our last Sunday with the Gospel according to Matthew. We read the very end of Matthew, chapter 28:16-20. Matthew ends his story about Jesus with the Risen Christ standing on a mountain, giving the disciples some pretty important instructions about what to do next. The only problem is that we (the church) have completely screwed up tho…

The End of History. 6.11.23. 25:11

10M ago25:11

25:11

6.11.23. Sheep or goat? That’s not even the most important question raised by the curious story Jesus tells in Matthew, chapter 25. The bigger question has to do with what you believe about the future… and how your beliefs about the future shape the way you live in this present moment. Rev. Lewicki preaches.…

Mending. 6.4.23. 22:50

11M ago22:50

22:50

6.4.23. Very few of us like conflict. But what if you knew a way of resolving conflict that didn’t make conflict something scary, but that allowed the truth to come out, justice to be done, and forgiveness to be granted? What if I told you that very process for healthy conflict resolution is written into Matthew’s gospel? Rev. Lewicki preaches and …

Pentecost. 5.28.23. 1:14:19

11M ago1:14:19

1:14:19

5.28.23. Summer Worship begins today with a celebration of Pentecost. Rev. Lewicki preaches about the Holy Spirit’s weirdness–and her insistence on reconciliation. The handbells open worship, and the NDPC community choir sings a beautiful anthem.

Dogs. 5.21.23. 24:16

11M ago24:16

24:16

5.21.23. Rev. Lewicki preaches on that one time that Jesus was… well… how should we say this… a total jerk. What do we make of Jesus’ interaction with a woman in Matthew 15?

Get Up and Eat. 5.14.23. 17:03

11M ago17:03

17:03

5.14.23. In the ancient story of the prophet Elijah, from 1 Kings, there is a very modern lesson about our struggles with mental health, and how God moves to provide us with care. Victoria Robinson, NDPC Ministry Fellow, is our preacher.

Deeds of Power. 5.7.23. 23:31

12M ago23:31

23:31

5.7.23. Rev. Lewicki preaches about Jesus’ miracle of feeding 5000 people (ed: well, lots more than that because of the sexists who only counted the men). What do you make of miracles? We have a notion that miracles are events that “run counter to the laws of nature.” And they can be that. But Jesus performed all kinds of “deeds of power,” and more…

What Did He Say? 4.23.23. 23:26

12M ago23:26

23:26

4.23.23. We explore Jesus’ habit of telling strange, mischievous stories. What is a parable? What do the parables mean? Is there something wrong with me if I just don’t understand them? Or maybe understanding isn’t the point? Rev. Lewicki preaching.

4.16.23. To celebrate Earth Day 2023 and to kick off Climate Action Week, worship asks us to cherish and celebrate our interdependence with the Creation. NDPC members Patrick Kasele and Dr. Dabney Dixon reflect on their own stories of learning to love the Creation; Rev. Lewicki invites us to speak to the plants–and to listen to what they say back t…

You Matter. 3.26.23. 23:54

1y ago23:54

23:54

3.26.23. At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus issues several warnings about what will happen if we fail to put his words into practice. Is Jesus trying to scare us into obedience–or asking us to feel a deep urgency about how we will choose to use this one life we have?

1
Judge Not. 3.19.23. 23:40

1y ago23:40

23:40

3.12.23. Rev. Lewicki preaches on Jesus’ teaching: “do not judge others.” What can that mean, given the fact that Jesus is also clear that there is a distinction between “right” and “wrong?” We dive into the spiritual dynamics of judgment and replacing condemnation with curiosity.

1
God and Wealth. 3.12.23. 26:27

1y ago26:27

26:27

3.12.23. Rev. Lewicki explores a collection of Jesus’ sayings at the end of Matthew, chapter 6, including the one that haunts many of us: “you can’t serve God and wealth.” How should a disciple of Jesus relate to this material–and materialistic–world?

1
Love Your Enemies. 3.5.23. 23:27

1y ago23:27

23:27

3.5.23. Rev. Lewicki preaches on Matthew 5:17-48, which contain the most beautiful–and challenging–ethical instructions the world has ever seen.

Blessed. 2.26.23. 26:07

1y ago26:07

26:07

2.26.23. Jesus announces to the disciples and to all of us what God’s “Empire” looks like: it looks like those who are poor, and grieving, and weak. We listen as Jesus shares with us how God apportions “blessings.” Rev. Lewicki, preaching.

Fish Paste. 2.19.23. 31:02

1y ago31:02

31:02

2.19.23. We read about the calling of Jesus’ first disciples from Matthew 4 and Rev. Lewicki invites us to observe where Jesus goes, who he meets, and what he says to them. How does paying attention to these details help us understand what it means when Jesus invites us to “follow?”

1y ago28:56

28:56

2.5.23. Rev. Lewicki preaches on Jesus’ time in the desert with the devil from Matthew 4. Who is the Devil? What did he want with Jesus? And what does he want with us?

As a congregation, we will read through Matthew’s gospel in its entirety over the next several months. Perhaps you’ve read it before–read it again. Maybe you only know pieces (“blessed are the poor in spirit,” “the kingdom of God…

1.15.23. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke often of the 3 evils of modern society–racism, militarism, and economic exploitation–and he called us to a “radical revolution of values.” Rev. Lewicki preaches on the 3rd of these evils, economic injustice, and he invites us to consider the question, “Is Capitalism Incompatible with the Way of Je…
