In this final week of our series Simple Rules for Chaotic Times, we explore John Wesley's third rule: “Attend to the ordinances of God” — or in modern language, “Stay in love with God.” Together we reflect on what it means to center our lives around love — love for God, love for neighbor, and love for self — even in times of division and discord.

This week, we continue our sermon series “Simple Rules for Chaotic Times” by exploring what it means to Do Good. Building on last week's reflections on “Do No Harm,” we turn to Galatians 6:1–10 to uncover how a rhythm of life centered on Jesus invites us to care deeply for others, live with integrity, and persevere through hardship and criticism.

This week marks the second week of our series “Simple Rules for Chaotic Times” as we explore the first of John Wesley's General Rules: “Do no harm.” Drawing from The Epistle to the Romans 12, John Wesley's 18th-century teachings, and our current cultural moment, we reflect on what it means to be a community that resists perpetuating harm—whether in personal relationships or systemic injustices. This practice isn't about easy rules but about honest self-reflection, naming the harm we've caused, and choosing to live differently.

August 3rd Worship Gathering

August 10th Worship Gathering

This past Sunday, we concluded our sermon series on generosity by examining the power of naming our “so that”—the passions that drive us—and taking steps to bring them to life. We look at Jesus' prayer for God's kin-dom to come “on earth as it is in heaven” and what it means to pray for tomorrow's bread today. Together, we imagine a community that mends what is broken, embraces diversity, and embodies hope and generosity in the world.

We're in week three of our series “So That”, exploring what it means to live generously — not just when the timing feels right, but as an intentional way of life. In this message, we look at Ephesians and Paul's vision for a diverse, unified community shaped by grace. God's generosity is not just something we receive but something we embody — SO THAT our lives can be poured out for the good of others.

Today we continue our "So That" Series" where we dig into what it really means to be generous — not just with money, but with the kind of life we are building. We look honestly at why money makes us uncomfortable, where the idea of “tithing” comes from, and why generosity is about more than just following rules. This conversation invites you to name your own “so that” — the reason behind your giving, your choices, and the story you want to tell with your life and community.

Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss some ways to help inject new life into the weekly worship gathering. Some Highlights: Make sure the gathering is truly God-centered, not man-centered. Help people feel the weight and joy of worshiping God, not shallow and joyless. Let theological conviction shape every component, not pragmatism. Preach the Word with precision, passion, and application, not sloppy, dull, and impractical. Celebrate the Lord's Supper consistently with intentionality, not as an afterthought. Do what you can with excellence, not what you can't and not half-way. Keep it simple, not unnecessarily complex. Choose songs that are singable and sound in doctrine, not simply what is popular. Encourage congregational singing, not disengaged observing. Make sacrificial giving a worship opportunity, not something to be avoided. Regularly cast vision for how our worship of God must fuel the mission of God to make disciples, never assuming people drift toward the mission.

In this first week of our new series “So That,” we explore what it means to embody generosity, especially with our finances. Many of us carry stress, baggage, and even harmful church narratives around money, yet Jesus invites us to trust God's provision and live generously now—not someday when life feels easier. What story do you want your life to tell, and what steps can you take so that generosity becomes part of that story?

“What would you do if God asked you to challenge everything you thought was true?” In John 5, Jesus meets a man who's waited thirty-eight years for healing and asks, “Do you want to be made well?” Sometimes wholeness means leaving behind the values and traditions we thought defined us, and stepping into God's new way.

Psalm 33:12 has often been used to push Christian nationalist ideas—but what if it's really a word of hope for people who feel worn down and uncertain? This reflection invites us to step away from fear and dominance and instead lean into God's steadfast love—Hesed—a love that won't let go of us, no matter what. It's about finding new reasons to trust God again, even if trust has been broken before, and choosing to live as a community marked by compassion, presence, and hope.

In the final week of our series Cultivating Meaningful Relationships, we explore what it means to live generously by giving others—and ourselves—the benefit of the doubt. From Jesus' parable of the vineyard workers to everyday interactions and inner dialogue, this sermon invites us to shift from judgment to compassion, scarcity to grace, and reaction to intentionality. What might it look like to LIVE BIG when relationships get messy?

In Week 3 of our series, we explore what it means to live with integrity—choosing courage over comfort and practicing our values in real life. Through the story of Ruth and Brene Brown's Living BIG framework, we reflect on how integrity strengthens meaningful relationships, especially in hard moments.

In this sermon from our Cultivating Meaningful Relationships series, we explore the foundation of healthy connection: boundaries. Drawing from Genesis 2, the insights of Carly Huack and Brené Brown, and our own emotional responses like anger and anxiety, we unpack how compassionate boundaries can protect our well-being, deepen integrity, and foster empathy. Learn how setting limits is not a rejection of others, but a generous act of self-respect and care that leads to more authentic relationships.

In this sermon, we launch a new series called Cultivating Meaningful Relationships. What does it take to build healthy, authentic, and compassionate connections with others? Drawing from the story of Zacchaeus, Brené Brown's work, and the example of Jesus, we explore how vulnerability, compassion, boundaries, and generous assumptions can transform the way we relate to one another.

This Sunday, as we continue our series Stories That Last, we're also celebrating a special milestone—six years as a community here at Storied Church. Today, we'll hear from Arianna, John, and Kimberly as they share how Storied Church has impacted their lives and become a positive force for good. These personal stories are powerful reminders of what it means to belong, to be transformed, and to live out hope together.

This week, we continue our series Stories That Last by exploring one of Jesus' most well-known parables—the story of the Lost Son. But before Jesus tells this story, He first responds to the criticism of the Pharisees for eating with “sinners” by telling three stories: about a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son. We reflect together not only on the radical grace of the Father but on who Jesus is really speaking to—the religious leaders. These stories aren't just about individual repentance, but about how we see people. In God's eyes, people are never disposable, never beyond welcome, and always worthy of being found and celebrated. We're reminded that hospitality, table-sharing, and mutual care are sacred—embodying the very heart of Jesus. The challenge? To extend the same grace to all people, just as Jesus does.

This week we close out our Flourish sermon series in a special way—gathered not in a sanctuary of stone, but in the sanctuary of creation itself. We return to the words of Jesus at the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount, where He offers a call to action: to build our lives on a foundation that can endure. To flourish, Jesus teaches, is not to escape difficulty—but to root ourselves in values that are practiced, embodied, and tested in the wilderness of life. Flourishing happens not on the mountaintop or the cruise ship, but in the grit and grace of real life. This message challenges us to consider what we're building on. Are our values lived out or just ideals we admire from a distance? Do we have the kind of foundation that can weather the storms of life?

In our Flourish sermon series, we are exploring Jesus' teachings in Matthew, focusing on how our values—inclusion, authenticity, courage, and curiosity—shape our lives. Matthew 7:1-6 challenges us to judge fairly, prioritizing curiosity over condemnation in our relationships. Jesus calls us to discern wisely, remain open to understanding others, and protect what is sacred in our lives. Today, we are celebrating this call through the reaffirmation of baptism, recognizing God's work in each of us, and embracing the beauty of shared journey and transformation.

In this third Sunday of Lent, we continue our Flourish series by exploring 1 Corinthians 10:1-13. The wilderness is disorienting, unsettling, and full of questions—but it's not unfamiliar. We've been here before. Through the struggles of the Israelites, the challenges of the early church, and our own wilderness moments, we are reminded that God remains faithful. How do we flourish in a season that feels like the opposite? How do we hold onto hope when the way forward seems uncertain? Join us as we reflect on God's presence in the wilderness, the power of remembrance, and the ways God provides for us—even when the journey is difficult.

This past Sunday we continued our Flourish sermon series by exploring Jesus' call to live a life free from anxiety. What does it mean to truly trust in God's provision? How do we navigate the worries that weigh us down while holding onto the values we profess? Through Jesus' teaching on the birds and flowers, we reflect on embracing peace, letting go of what we can't control, and leaning into a flourishing life grounded in faith. Join us as we unpack practical ways to move beyond survival and into a life of thriving—where anxiety does not have the final say, but trust, gratitude, and grace lead the way.

In week four of our Flourish series, we continue exploring Jesus' inaugural sermon, focusing on living a righteous life from the heart. Jesus challenges performative religious behaviors and calls us to align our actions with Christ-centered values. This week, we dive into acts of piety and mercy—prayer, fasting, and generosity—emphasizing the importance of motives behind these practices. Are we living out our values or just seeking recognition?

In Week 3 of our Flourish sermon series, we continue exploring Jesus' inaugural sermon in Matthew, where he challenges us to love not just those who are easy to love, but even our enemies. It's easy to care for those who agree with us or support us, but what about those who challenge us, hurt us, or seem impossible to love? In this episode, we unpack how flourishing isn't about avoiding discomfort but stepping into it—choosing love, mercy, and compassion even when it's the hardest thing to do. Jesus redefines righteousness not as rule-following, but as living from a place of wholeness—embracing authenticity, vulnerability, and radical grace. How does this challenge the way we live and engage with the world around us?

We've explored how we participate in God's work, stewarding the holy chaos and discerning our next steps as a community. Through asset mapping, we identified the gifts we bring and the values we hold dear. But now comes the hard work—execution, leadership, and discernment. Grounded in 1 Corinthians 13, we are reminded that love is at the core of everything we do. Love is not just an idea but an embodied action that shapes our decisions and direction. As we move forward, how do our values guide us toward wholeness? What does it mean for us to flourish together?
