Larry answers the question "What you can get from Dance in the Light?"

What does it really mean to be chosen? To be blessed? To be a blessing? Here's an excerpt from "The Story - A Calling" sermon. Have a listen.

In this sermon-bite, Larry describes God's continuing conversation, as the Jewish people go through cycle after cycle of commitment and forgetfulness. Listen here.

James told us how Jesus often asked, "Who do you say I am?" In this sermon-bite, James tells us how he now answers that question ... to anyone and everyone who would take time to listen. So can you ... Listen here.

In this sermon-bite, Gayle asks us, as individuals, as a community, to step forward and embrace God's dream for our world. Have a listen.

Larry challenges each of us to figure out our own telling of the end of our story, and shares how he tells the end of his story. Have a listen. It's powerful.

Throughout The Story ... from Creation and Crisis, at the initial Calling, through Conversations and Cycles, with Christ and the Church, and at Consummation, God continually offers love and relationship, and looks for people who will live in partnership to build a transformed world. In this sermon-bite, Larry asks God's question of each of us ...

How do you describe your faith? Do you talk about your relationship with God? Or do you talk about your beliefs? Do other people talk about their relationships, or about their beliefs? What's the difference? How does this relate to the religious controversy and polarization that seems so prevalent in today's world?

In this sermon-bite, Larry describes how John Wesley faced a similar situation, and provided a guiding principle that helps us to focus on what is really important in our Christian community. Have a listen ...

During the past several months, Larry has challenged us to describe our faith in our own way, in our own words. But last Sunday, Larry moved the bar up another notch ... making our faith personal. Here's the sermon-bite.

What do Weight Watchers and Christian Faith have in common? They are both a way of life. Last week, Larry described how we have the opportunity to accept God's unconditional love and claim it for ourselves. But what does it mean to claim God's grace for ourselves? Listen to this sermon-bite as Larry asks that very question.

Christian faith implies a way of living. A way of life. How do we set that in motion?
How do we make that real? Listen to Larry's thoughts on how we begin, in this first sermon-bite on giftedness.

It's about recognizing what God want us to do. Our giftedness points the way ... for ourselves as individuals ... and for ourselves as a congregation. Listen to this second sermon-bite, and hear Larry's thoughts on how Dance in the Light sets us on this path.

On several occasions, Larry has reminded us that Dance in the Light is not simply a program, with a start date and an end date. It's not something that we look back on, and say "that was nice, what's next?". Rather, Dance in the Light represents another step in the journey of renewal and continued spiritual growth ... for each of us as individuals, for ourselves as a congregation, and for ...? Have a listen to this sermon-bite, and hear Larry describe the 3 ways that he would like to see Dance in the Light move forward.
