Of Baskets and Mangers Texts: Psalm 124; Romans 12:1-8; Matthew 16:13-20; Exodus 1:8-2:10 Pastor Jon discusses ways that we can be agents of the Kingdom of life and hope, by committing faithful acts of subversion against the kingdom of power, death, and oppression. Oskar Schindler, Shiphrah & Puah, and Pharaoh's daughter are presented as examples of how we might be beacons of hope and light in the midst of darkness.

An animation by Stephanie Fungsang, Emily Leiner, Alexandra Provo and Jenn So produced for Environmental Artwork: Artistic Responses to Global and Local Environmental Issues, a student forum at Wesleyan University (Spring 2008).

This intensive, interdisciplinary course melds scientific and choreographic inquiry in pursuit of one of the most important topics facing society: climate change due to global warming. This course will include both classroom and laboratory sessions. Our laboratory will be Middletown s landfill. The landfill, less than 2 miles from campus, dominates the landscape and flood plain of the north end of Middletown. It is a perfect laboratory within which to explore the effects of climate change on both wilderness and urban landscapes using the lenses of science and choreography. For example, the contents of the landfill afford the opportunity to explore the climatic consequences of consumerism, energy use, CO2 and methane production. With an emphasis on the body and its relationship with its environment, participants will have an opportunity to consider the multiple layers of histories, time, and memory layered within the landfill and the continuing impact of this changing environment on the body. Students will learn modern scientific and kinesthetic tools for assessing environmental conditions, ecological responses changing in time and space. The methods of scientific deduction and choreographic composition will be applied to metaphor and meaning of climate change. The experience is intended to reciprocally illuminate artistic and scientific practices in pursuit of common goals, renewed pathways of inquiry, perception, and ideas. The course will meet for 2-3 hours once per week from the beginning of the semester until spring break and then will meet all day long each week day of spring break. After spring break we will meet as a class and then individually with teams of students in preparation for a symposium on our joint science and art projects.

Laying Down Your Birdstick Texts: Psalm 133; Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32; Matthew 15:10-28; Genesis 45:1-15 Pastor Jon continues the exploration of the Joseph narrative, looking specifically at the way in which he offered grace and forgiveness to his brothers when they came to Egypt looking for grain. Even in the deepest moments of our lives, we are to reflect the nature of God--offering grace and forgiveness to everyone we know.

Where is God? Texts: Psalm 105:1-4; Matthew 14:22-33; Romans 10:5-15; Genesis 37:12-36; Romans 8:28 Pastor Jon explores the story of Joseph and his brothers, noting that nowhere in Genesis 37:12-36 are we able to find mention of God. And yet, as the Joseph narrative comes to a conclusion, Joseph is able to affirm that God's hand was at work in everything, in order that many lives might be saved.

Forgiveness: Seeing the Face of God Texts: Psalm 17:6-8; Romans 9:1-5; Matthew 14:13-21; Genesis 32-33 Pastor Jon looks at the narrative of Jacob's return to Esau, as found in Genesis 32-33. As we read the text, we try to imagine that we are reading it for the first time, hoping to learn the lessons that Jacob may have learned as he discovered the meaning of forgiveness in the face of his very own brother.

God's Ladder Texts: Psalm 105:1-8; Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52; Romans 8:26-39; Genesis 29:14b-30, Revelation 2:4-5 Jacob's great love for Rachel is evidenced by his glad service to his Uncle Laban. The many years of labor seemed like only a few days. Pastor Jon looks at our relationship with God, and suggests ways to recover "our first love."

God's Ladder Texts: Psalm 139:1-12; Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43; Romans 8:12-25; Genesis 28:10-22 Often called the story of "Jacob's Ladder," Pastor Jon asks us to consider who it was that built the ladder between heaven and earth. When we remember that we are completely unable to reach out to heaven on our own, we recognize how essential it was that God was willing to reach out to us, to call our name, and to come to us.

Trading Your Birthright Texts: Psalm 119:105-112; Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23; Romans 8:1-11, 25-30; Genesis 25:19-34; John 6:22-27; Romans 3:23, 6:23, 5:6-8, 8:15-17 The Jacob & Esau narrative reminds us of Adam & Eve, and how they traded the greatest birthright of all, being made in the Image of God. As Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve, we too have all traded our birthrights, and yet God seeks to redeem us and welcome us to His Table.

The Will of God Texts: Psalm 145:8-14; Romans 7:15-25; Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30; Genesis 24 This week we continue our look at the Patriarchs, and their journey with God. Pastor Jon walks through Genesis chapter 24, the longest chapter in Genesis, and explores what it means to discern and follow the will of God.

The Principle of Firstfruits Texts: Psalm 89:1-4; Matthew 10:40-42; Romans 6:12-23; Genesis 22:1-14; Joshua 6:26; I Kings 16:34; I Kings 17:13-16 Pastor Jon offers a personal look at the reasons why he gives to God, in hopes that we might find more meaning in our giving. As we give to God, we should consider the biblical principal of Firstfruits--as demonstrated by the city of Jericho, the widow at Zarephath, and the offering of Isaac by Abraham. These stories remind us that God is the owner of everything, and that He is faithful to provide for His children.

Father to the Fatherless Texts: Psalm 86:8-10; Genesis 21:8-21; Romans 6:1-11; Matthew 10:24-39; Psalm 68:4-6 On this Fathers Day, Pastor Jon looks at the way in which God is a Father to Ishmael after he was disowned by his own biological father, Abraham. If the church is the hands and feet of Christ, then we too ought to reflect the Father-heart of God as we care for those around us who may feel fatherless. May we also be reminded that God is our Father, and that He cares for us more than lilies and sparrows!

Faith Matthew 9:35-10:8; Romans 5:1-8; Genesis 18:1-15, 21:1-7; James 1:22-25, 2:14-18 In this portion of the Abraham narrative, we see Abraham and Sarah receiving a promise that requires their participation and activity. While we must trust God and believe in His promises, that trust ought to also inform and shape our actions. We are to live in a manner consistent with the promises that God has given to us.

Following the Call of God Texts: Psalm 33:1-12; Genesis 12:1-9; Romans 4:13-25; Matthew 9:3-13, 18-26 Join us this summer as we journey through the book of Genesis, focusing on the patriarchs who heard God's voice and responded. This week, we look at Abram (Abraham), and how he responded to God's call to go to an unknown land. May we follow God wherever He leads us, and may also live the way that God would want us to live.

Trinity Sunday: Reflecting God Texts: Psalm 8; Genesis 1; John 1; Matthew 28:16-20 On Trinity Sunday, Pastor Jon looks at the practical implications of the doctrine of the Trinity for us as individuals and as a congregation. What does a church look like when it reflects the very nature of the Triune-God? It is a holy community of love, pouring itself out for each other--and also for the world around it.

God's Burning Bush Texts: Psalm 104:24-30; John 20:19-23; Acts 2:1-21; Numbers 11:24-30; I Corinthians 12:4-13 Pastor Jon looks at Pentecost through the lens of the life of Moses, and his desire the the Spirit of the LORD would come upon all people, and that they would prophesy. This desire is fulfilled on the day of Pentecost, when the believers became "God's Burning Bushes" speaking forth His words to those who came to watch.

Bearing the Name 'Christian' Texts: Psalm 68:32-35; Matthew 26:31-35, 69-75; Acts 1:6-14; I Peter 4:12-16, 5:6-9; Philippians 3:10-11 The Name "Christian" probably had its origins as a derogatory way for pagans to refer to the followers of "The Way." Peter encourages his readers to not be ashamed of the Name, but to bear it well. This sermon explores what it means for 2008 Followers of Jesus to bear the Name "Christian."
