UVC (Pastor Chan Ik Choi) 08-30-20, “Can I Be Mad at God?”

Can I Be Mad at God? In short... Yes! Being mad at God is an act of faith which scripture invites us to do as a natural thing in the midst of pain, just as we're able to praise God in time of joy. This is all a part of living in relation with God. We cry out to God because we know God is real, God cares for us, and God suffers with us.

UVC (Emily McGinley) 08-23-20 God, “What the f***?"

What does it mean to proclaim faith and live faithfully in times like these? What do we do with our anger, grief, disappointments and seemingly endless dead-ends? Pandemic or not, we’ve all had a moment when we have thrown our hands up in exasperation and asked God, “What the f***?” Now is as good a time as any to (re)visit this question with all the faithfulness of a man named Job and all the honesty of a community like ours.

UVC (Kelli Harrison) 08-9-20 The Road to Emmaus

Jesus, playfulness, community, and communion: how are all these things connected? *We know that preachers pull from many resources in their sermon preparations and, if that's the case for you, we hope that this will inspire you as you prepare your message.
