This, This ...
In his sermon, Pastor Jeff Spencer moves beyond the traditional "creche" imagery of Christmas to examine the challenging realities found in the Gospel of Matthew. By focusing on the Holy Family’s flight to Egypt, the sermon highlights the identity of Jesus as a refugee and the "anti-emperor" who stands in direct opposition to earthly tyrants. Pastor Spencer discusses: The Contrast of Herod and the Magi: How the "skywatchers" resisted Herod’s deception and chose a different path home. Modern Echoes: A critical look at current events—including border policies and public health challenges—through the lens of biblical justice. The Soul of a Nation: Reflecting on how the acceptance of violence and torture impacts our collective moral foundation. A Call to Compassion: Understanding that serving "the least of these" is the core requirement of following Jesus. The sermon concludes with a call to view love not as a "soft" sentiment, but as a powerful act of resistance against violence and normalization of suffering.

The Babe
In this service, we look beyond the traditional lullaby to understand the difficult world into which Jesus was born—a world not unlike our own, filled with both struggle and the profound need for hope, peace, joy, and love. Service Highlights: Scripture Readings: Hear the prophetic words of Isaiah and Micah, and the Nativity story as told in the Gospel of Luke. Advent Candle Lighting: A time of prayer and reflection as we light candles for those yearning for hope and peace in our world. A Story from Mount William: A contemporary reflection on the miracle of birth, centered on a young couple’s unexpected journey through the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Closing Meditation: A reminder that the light of Christ shines in the darkness, and that by sharing our own light, we can bring more warmth and justice to the world. Whether you are seeking comfort, celebrating with family, or simply curious about the deeper meaning of the season, we invite you to experience this narrative of love and resilience. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not overcome it.” #ChristmasEve #WhatChildIsThis #Nativity #Advent #HopeAndPeace #MountWilliam

Son of Mary
Join Rev. Jeff Spencer in his the Advent series, "What Child IS This?" exploring the seldom-used biblical title: "The Son of Mary." This sermon delves into the historical reality of Jesus’ mother, moving beyond the traditional image of the silent, meek woman to reveal her as a strong, independent woman and prophet. Rev. Spencer examines the story of the Annunciation through the unusual perspective of the Angel Gabriel and discusses the radical, revolutionary meaning of Mary's Song, the Magnificat—a text so powerful it has been banned by governments. What does it mean for us today to say that Jesus is the Son of a woman who lived in an occupied territory and sang a song of protest and liberation? Discover how recognizing Jesus as the Son of Mary invites us to join them in turning the world right side up. Key Themes: #Advent #MaryMotherofJesus #Magnificat #Annunciation #ProtestSong #Justice #TheSonofMary #ChristmasSeries
