Comeback: Faith to Move Forward, Week 1 // The Rev. Magrey deVega // June 6, 2021 Jun 06, 2021

Show notes

Few people had it worse in the Bible than Joseph. He was despised by his brothers because of his father’s favoritism. He was cast from the family into slavery, framed by a high official’s wife, cast into prison, and long forgotten by his family. But Joseph not only persevered; he maintained his faith and integrity. He is a model to us of how to keep going, no matter what hardship we are facing.

Trinity Sunday // The Rev. Magrey deVega // May 30, 2021 May 30, 2021

Show notes

The Sunday after Pentecost is traditionally known as Trinity Sunday, the only holy day of the year named after a doctrine of the church, rather than a biblical event. The Holy Spirit which touched the earth on Pentecost is still active in our lives and throughout the world today. But for many, the Holy Spirit is the most mysterious member of the Trinity, one we often overlook when it comes to thinking about God. We will discover together new understandings and appreciation of the Holy Spirit based on John 16, in which Jesus describes how the Spirit “guides us into truth” and prompts us to “glorify Jesus Christ."

A New Creation, Pentecost Sunday // The Rev. Magrey deVega // May 23, 2021 May 23, 2021

Show notes

When the Holy Spirit touched down 2,000 years ago, it sparked a brush fire of energy and excitement that continues to draw people to follow Jesus from all over the world. The new creation that God is doing is nothing less than the entire redemption of this whole creation back to its originally intended order. And when we live into the vision of Hyde Park United Methodist, we participate in the work that God is doing all around the world.

A New Creation, Week 6 // The Rev. Sally Campbell-Evans // May 16, 2021 May 16, 2021

Show notes

Because we are connected to God, we can be connected to each other. In a time when we feel pulled apart from each other due to divisions and disagreements, we are called to lean into our connection. Together, we can be an interdependent, interconnected community of people, strengthening and encouraging each other.

A New Creation, Week 5 // The Rev. Magrey deVega // May 9, 2021 May 09, 2021

Show notes

John says that belief in Jesus brings us everlasting life. It is a kind of life that isn’t relegated to the time after we die. It is something we can begin living here and now. We can live out the abundant, everlasting life now, because of the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. How might we be open to God’s grace, which fashions us to be more like Jesus every day.

A New Creation, Week 4 // The Rev. Magrey deVega // May 2, 2021 May 02, 2021

Show notes

We do not face life alone. No matter what we go through, we are connected to God just as a branch is connected to the vine. We only have to be open to the work of God in our lives, and participate in the disciplines that strengthen and nourish our relationship with God. Doing so enables us to bear the fruit of goodness and beauty that the world needs.

A New Creation, Week 3 // The Rev. Justin LaRosa // April 25, 2021 Apr 25, 2021

Show notes

Despite all that grips us with fear and grief, we can take solace in Jesus, who serves as our “Good Shepherd.” Together, we’ll learn how to hear his voice and lean into his comfort and protection to face all that threatens us.

A New Creation, Week 2 // The Rev. Magrey deVega // April 18, 2021 Apr 18, 2021

Show notes

The epistle of 1 John emphasizes right behavior, which complements the gospel of John’s emphasis on belief. Together, we get a well-rounded view of the kind of life that God wants us to live. Today, we will be looking at 1 John 3, in which we hear the importance of love as the center of our being. And we’ll discover the significance of what it means to be a child of God.

A New Creation, Week 1 // The Rev. Magrey deVega // April 11, 2021 Apr 11, 2021

Show notes

After the miracle of Easter, there were still some of the disciples who did not believe that Jesus was really resurrected. They needed more proof.

Maybe you do too.

Cultivating Hope in the Garden // The Rev. Magrey deVega // April 4, 2021 Apr 04, 2021

Show notes

After six weeks of cultivating Christian character qualities and letting go of obstacles to faith, we join this Sunday in the celebration of the resurrection. Easter reminds us that in Christ, sin and death are not the last word, as God has conquered the grave and raised Jesus from the dead. Join us in remembering the Easter story, to make it a living reality in our lives today.
