Tending the Flame Scripture: Leviticus 6:8–13In this week's message, Pastor Sarah draws from the rarely-visited book of Leviticus to uncover profound truths hidden within ancient temple rituals. Centering on the command to keep a continuous fire burning on the altar, the sermon invites us to reflect on the fire of God's presence in our own lives—how it burns, how it flickers, and how we are called to tend it daily.We explore the theological significance of the burnt offering and how it symbolized repentance, reconciliation, and the transforming grace of God. Pastor Sarah weaves in personal stories from summer camp, testimony circles, and even theological debates between traditions, showing how the work of salvation is not a single moment, but a lifelong journey of grace.As part of our Singing Our Faith series, this message reminds us that salvation isn't transactional—it's transformational. The fire of God's love is not confined to a temple altar but lives within us, shaping us through daily acts of mercy, justice, and love. We are not only saved—we are being saved and will be saved.

Travel to the wild, rugged beauty of El Salvador as Pastor Sarah instructs us on "Traveling Light."

Are our prayers always answered? Jesus taught his followers the Lord's Prayer, and told them to be persistent in prayer. As we begin a summer series on the Lord's Prayer, the sermon addressed the closeness of God our father, the other-ness of God in heaven, and what it means for our prayers to be “answered.” This weeks message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our Gospel is from Luke Chapter 11, verses 1 - 10. 

In this powerful message, Pastor Sarah unpacks the weight words carry and challenges us to be rooted, not reactive. She reminds us to consider the source before we respond and to trust God with the things we're tempted to control. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or defensive, this word is for you. Thank you for enjoying this life changing message from Radiant Church. We pray this moves you closer to Christ and encourages you.

Praying at the River Scripture: Acts 16:13–15In this week's message, Pastor Sarah takes us to the riverside in Acts 16, where Paul meets Lydia—a bold and generous woman whose open heart and courageous faith helped birth the first church in Philippi. Drawing from personal stories of outdoor baptisms and the unexpected grace that flows in those holy moments, we explore how prayer, like music, often happens best in community and in rhythm.As part of our Singing Our Faith series, this sermon reflects on how our faith—like a good bluegrass jam—calls us to play in time, tune our hearts, act with courage, and join in harmony with others. Through the story of Lydia's baptism and hospitality, we are reminded that our faith is not meant to stay private. It flows outward, impacting our homes, our churches, and our world.Whether you're new to faith or have been on this journey for decades, this message invites you to reflect on your own baptismal calling and what it means to live it out together. There's room for every instrument—and every heart—at the river.

Improvising Prayers Scripture: Romans 8:22–27Sometimes prayer begins not with words, but with sighs too deep for words. In this week's message, Pastor Sarah shares a powerful experience of communal prayer in South Korea and reflects on the Spirit's ability to speak through our groans, our longing, and even our silence.Drawing from Romans 8 and Psalm 40, we explore the deep connection between lament and hope, silence and song, structure and improvisation. Just as jazz invites us to improvise on familiar themes, our prayers—structured or spontaneous—can become living, breathing expressions of faith. Whether whispered in stillness or cried aloud in anguish, the Spirit intercedes on our behalf.Pastor Sarah also introduces a simple four-part prayer model to help us grow a more personal and creative prayer practice: You / Who / Do / Through. For those seeking a starting point or a new rhythm of prayer, this week's message offers tools, stories, and encouragement.

Listennnn… if you've ever been in a season where you're trying to hold on to you, keep your purpose alive, and not let motherhood, ministry, or momentum swallow you whole, this one's for you. Pastor Sarah links up with Jennifer Lucy Tyler, and baybeee, they went all the way in. We're talking about the kind of faith that doesn't just sound good but actually works. The kind that grounds you. Grows you. Guides you. They unpack how studying the Bible isn't just a spiritual flex, it's survival. And if you've been craving something deeper than IG quotes and devotionals that don't quite hit the spot, this is your sign. God's Word is still speaking, sis, and it's shining light right where you need it most.

Singing Our FaithScripture: Colossians 3:12–16What we sing shapes what we believe. As we begin our new worship series, Singing Our Faith, Pastor Sarah invites us to reflect on how music forms us—individually and as a church community.This week's message explores the connection between worship and formation through the lens of Colossians 3, where Paul calls us to live in compassion, love, and unity—and to “teach and warn each other with all wisdom by singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.” Pastor Sarah shares results from our recent church music survey and invites us into a summer of worship shaped by the songs that move us, challenge us, and root us in the grace of Christ.Whether you're drawn to traditional hymns, contemporary praise, or something in between, this series reminds us that when we sing with gratitude, our hearts and habits are transformed.

When was the last time you had any amount of time in silence? Pastor Sarah researched the benefits of silence and ponders what could be achieved if each person could listen in the silence.

Journey: The Places We Will Go Scripture: Acts 10:34–36Some transformations lead us far from where we started. When the Holy Spirit moves, we may find ourselves crossing borders, breaking assumptions, and joining in a love that is bigger than we imagined.In this week's sermon, Pastor Sarah shares the story of Peter's awakening to the expansive grace of God. What began as a personal revelation became a world-changing proclamation: God shows no partiality. Every person, in every place, is welcomed into the story of Jesus. Like the Monarch butterfly on its long, daring migration, we too are invited into a journey—one that leads to new life, new freedom, and a deeper understanding of the Spirit's calling.As our butterfly series continues, we're reminded that transformation doesn't always keep us in place. Sometimes, it sends us.Sermon Reflection Questions

Pastor Sarah is back from her conference and ready to "Let It Burn!" She issues the challenge to turn up the heat in certain social situations to produce more interesting and engaging conversations.

Fly: Daring New Heights Scripture: Mark 2:1–5 Some transformations only happen when we're willing to take risks—when we dare to go higher, dig deeper, and break through the barriers in our way.In this week's sermon, Pastor Sarah reflects on the bold faith of four friends who refused to let a crowded house keep them from bringing someone they loved to Jesus. They climbed the roof, tore it open, and made space for healing. Their story invites us to consider how faith, community, and courage work together to lift us—and others—into the presence of Christ.As our butterfly series continues, we're reminded that some butterflies can fly over 30 miles per hour. Transformation has energy. Grace has momentum. And sometimes, faith takes flight.Sermon Reflection Questions

Pastor Sarah shares with us the importance of our own special walk with Jesus, and we celebrate with 3 baptisms of our young people.

Monica sits down with Pastor Sarah LiVecchi of Rescue Church to discuss her journey with Jesus and what it means to have a faithful, consistent, lasting life in the kingdom.

“I know the plans I have for you…to give you a future with hope.” That's a popular Bible passage, giving hope to people who are in a hard times, but it's only half of the story. Before God gives this promise, God says to settle down and make homes and families there – in this case, in a foreign country as refugees. Our faithful actions now – even if they seem small and insignificant – are part of ushering in God's promise of a future with hope. This message is presented by Pastor Sarah.The Scripture lesson comes from Jeremiah Chapter 29, and our Gospel is from John, Chapter 21.

The Grinch who stole Christmas is not usually considered an Easter story, but in this sermon, Pastor Sarah uses the tale of Grinch to describe the miracle of Easter. Just like the Grinch was surprised to find out he hadn't ruined Christmas, everyone involved in the crucifixion was surprised to find out that God's love was more powerful than sin, more powerful even than death. Even Jesus' closest disciples doubted God's power. And so do we. But the good news of Easter is that resurrection doesn't depend on us. God acted to raise Jesus from the dead. What does depend on us? Sharing the good news so that all the world can know! Christ is Risen Indeed Alleluia! Our Bible reading is from the Book of Luke, Chapter 24

Our message is brought by Pastor Sarah.  The Gospel Lesson is brought to us today by Sam Bardwell, Theologian and actor, bringing the scriptures to life.

There's a dominant worldview that says you have to look out for yourself. Numero uno. I did it my way. But the “foolish” way of Christ reveals a different way to live. When we look out for others, we can also trust that others will look out for us. Generosity creates community. Pastor Sarah brings us this message. Our Scripture comes from First Corinthians, verses 18, 26-31. The video referred to is highly worth watching here:

Pastor Sarah and Pastor Vince delve into the difficulty and surprising value of conflict.

Have you ever been in a pay-it-forward drive thru line? That's when the person in front pays for you, and then you pay for the person behind you. As those experiences demonstrate, generosity is connected to what happens before you, and what comes next.   Past. Present. Future. We are always embedded in a story of generosity: God's generosity to us (often through other people!), and our generosity to others. Can you recall a time when you received something from someone else? How will you keep the story of generosity going? This message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our scripture reading is Deuteronomy Chapter 26, Verses 1-11.

Welcome to SC Church Podcast! We're so glad you could join us. Today Pastor Sarah Duron shared with us his message:“Expect the Unexpected”Let's lean in & listen together

Fear. It's experienced by every person, a natural part of being human. Does that mean Jesus could have felt it too? In this message Pastor Sarah imagines what it would mean if Jesus was afraid, and discovers a graciousness and honesty about her own fear. Fear, it turns out, isn't the opposite of faith. Fear tills the soil where faith can take root and grow, and our fear is no match for God's love. Our Lesson is from Psalm 36, verses 5-10. The Gospel lesson is from John, Chapter 2, verses 1-11

The early months of the year are some of the hardest. Dark and cold, without excitement of the holidays, it can be deflating to discover the same old life awaits. But Christmas changes us. God's birth into this world means that even if we return to life as normal, we are changed. In this sermon, the shepherds serve as an example for all of us. After seeing the baby Jesus in the manger, they praised God even as they returned to their ordinary lives. We too can carry the glory of Christmas into our lives, all year round, because God keeps on coming to us, every day of our lives. Today's message is presented by Pastor Sarah.  The scripture reading is from Ephesians Chapter 1, V 3-14. and the Gospel is Lukem Chapter 2, Verses 15 - 21.

Was your Christmas imperfect? Welcome to the club. It can be easy to idealize the perfect Christmas, and then judge yourself accordingly. Here's a little secret: the first Christmas wasn't as ideal as the manger scenes make it out to be. The point of Christmas is that God became real flesh in a real world - a world that was full of the kinds of troubles you are dealing with too. God loved that world which means that God loves you too. And God worked with real people, which means that God is working through you too.  Today's message is brought to us by Pastor Sarah. The Gospel is from the Book of John, Chapter 1 Verses 1-14.
