Common Tables Sept 14, 2025 Sermon. Ordinary Time - Genesis 21:1-3; 22:1-14 // The Right Sacrifice w/Drew WillsonAfter another week of heart-rending national news, we gather to do some hard, hopeful, healing work.

Common Tables Sept 7, 2025 sermon*. Ordinary Time - Genesis 1:1-2:4 // The Oldest Story Anew w/Drew Willson.Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.Where would we be without the bar-fueled wisdom of Semisonic's "Closing Time"? How would we ever know when it's time to move on?Listen as we begin the narrative lectionary, our September-to-May journey through the full narrative arc of the Bible. Appropriately, we're starting with the creation story in Genesis 1. We explore how this story of beginnings developed after some painful endings for God's people.If you've experienced endings of your own and you're ready for new beginnings, come take part in a fresh telling of the story with us.*Note: due to technical errors in production, some parts of the sermon were not captured.
