Pastor Jared teaches from Ephesians 2:10 on being God's workmanship, made to do good works he planned for us ahead of time. He explains that this isn't about earning salvation but living out the love God has already given us in everyday moments, through prayer, encouragement, and simple acts of care for others. Drawing from Isaiah 40, he unpacks what it means to wait on the Lord, not passively, but with hope and trust that renews our strength. Even hard seasons become part of how God shapes us to comfort and strengthen the people around us.

“Believing to Following"James 2:12-18TPC Youth Sunday
A sermon preached by Abby Steele with Foundry UMC, June 14, 2026, 3rd Sunday after Pentecost. "We Know Who We Are" series. Texts: 1 Corinthians 13:8-12; Acts 17:10-15 Good morning! Thank you for coming to Youth Sunday. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to be here with you all. My name is Abby Steele, and I have been attending Foundry since I was a little kid, and became a member of the church in 2022. I recently graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School. For those of you that don't know, TJ is a regional science and technology public magnet school in Northern Virginia. Many students at my school put emphasis on fact and certainty, which has made navigating my life as both a scientist and a devout Christian a bit challenging. However, throughout my time in high school, I have learned a strong lesson as to how these two identities can coexist together, and I would love to share this with you all. When I was around ten years old, my nana and I were sitting in her 2010 Toyota Camry waiting in the kiss-and-ride line to pick up my younger cousin from school. She always believed there is no such thing as being too young for intense philosophical discussion, so that became the topic of conversation during our wait. I told her, "I read The Great Emergence, like you recommended." This book was a challenging read for my ten-year-old self, filled with words too long for me to interpret and sayings too old for me to comprehend. Nevertheless, I read it with determination. Our conversation centered on the trustworthiness of the Bible—something I never could have imagined discussing with my grandmother, who grew up in a conservative Christian household. However, she had experienced a complete religious transformation later in life, which sparked a new tradition of elaborate spiritual car talks. We discussed our shared struggle to believe certain biblical stories. Together, we came to see many of them as metaphors rather than historical accounts. I wasn't sure whether they were accurate or not, but I began to realize that the purpose of stories was not necessarily the factual evidence they contained, but the lessons they taught. That ordinary Monday afternoon completely changed the trajectory of my religious life. The conversation left me unafraid to be curious. If we can question and interpret God's word, why not view every experience through the same lens? When I look back on that conversation, I think of the passage from Corinthians we just heard. Paul describes the transition from childhood into adulthood, and he reminds us that, for now, our understanding is only partial as we can only see a reflection in a mirror. We do not see the whole picture. I've often encountered people in religious contexts that really fear doubt and uncertainty. They worry that asking too many questions will make them appear as being unfaithful and disloyal, but the conversations I've had with my grandmother beg to differ. My faith has been profoundly deepened by allowing myself the space to question and decipher every aspect of Christianity and the bible. I've come to understand that Paul is right - we are only capable of seeing a reflection of our reality. But by learning about and accepting multiple interpretations of religious texts and messages rather than turning a blind eye to the parts that we may disagree with or not fully comprehend, we are capable of conjuring a far greater picture and understanding of our faith. Since childhood, I have struggled with my faith in God, the afterlife, and sometimes even science. How can I know something is true without ever seeing it? I couldn't comprehend how anyone could take the Bible, a collection of ancient texts that have undergone numerous translations, and swear their interpretation was the only truth. Similarly, I found it difficult to believe the science I learned in school was entirely accurate. In my neurobiology class, I found myself staring at diagrams of neurons, wondering how we could know that consciousness comes from neural pathways when we're only inferring from electrical patterns. I came to recognize that belief in something unseen wasn't limited to faith; science asks for it too. The further I studied science and religion, the more openly acknowledged this uncertainty became. One example came from my physics class, where we learned about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, which states that we cannot know both the position and speed of a particle with perfect accuracy. That night, I was led down an internet rabbit hole on the limits of quantum mechanics, driven by my disbelief that academia could acknowledge doubt so openly. At first, I saw this principle as a reason to distrust science. But with each new article I read, I realized my perspective on this principle actually mirrored how I like to approach religion. Uncertainty isn't a weakness - It's the beginning of understanding. Scientists do not stop asking questions because they are worried about appearing not knowledgeable or unqualified. They keep investigating. They keep learning. They keep seeking truth. And that reminds me of the passage from Acts we heard this morning. For some context, Acts 17 details the persecution Paul and Silas faced in Thessalonica and their subsequent escape to Berea, where receptive crowds carefully evaluated their teachings. What stands out so significantly to me about the Bereans is that they didn't completely reject Paul's teachings like in Thessalonica, but they didn't simply accept Paul's words at face value either. They examined the Scriptures for themselves. They researched. They investigated. Not just once, but daily to test whether Paul's teachings were correct. They asked questions. And through that process, many came to believe on their own terms. Their faith was not built on blind acceptance. It was strengthened through curiosity and discovery. I think this is exactly what I had learned with my nana in that car all those years ago. Faith does not forbid us from thinking critically and investigating what we are receiving. God is not threatened by our questions. He accepts them. I first saw uncertainty as something that threatened both science and faith. Now, I see it as something that connects them. Even though there is vast unknown knowledge in both religion and science, for me, they are tied together by an innate desire to understand and discover the truth, regardless. So whether you're studying for a test, struggling through a difficult season, wrestling with a Bible verse, or praying a prayer that feels unanswered, remember this: We do not need complete certainty to keep moving forward. We can trust God while still asking questions. We can have faith while still seeking understanding. And sometimes the greatest growth happens not when everything is clear, but when we have the courage to step into the unknown. Thank you, and happy Youth Sunday.

Sunday Service - May 31, 2026 - Youth Sunday
Listen as our Youth Director, Caleb Thomas, preaches from Matthew 22:37-40 & Deuteronomy 6:1-9.
Summer camp provides a unique opportunity to invest in the next generation's spiritual growth by creating an environment where young people can step away from daily distractions and focus on their relationship with God. Camp experiences often lead to deeper connections with God, stronger relationships within their faith community, and life-changing encounters with Jesus. When we invest in sending youth to camp, we're potentially impacting multiple generations, as these students may go on to raise children who love the Lord. Like Isaac digging wells in Genesis 26, we must create spiritual resources for the next generation by seeking God first, praying daily, reading Scripture, staying in community, and living as faithful examples that others can trust and draw from.
What does it mean for us to grow in Christ-likeness? It is Pentecost Sunday, and we will end our series on the Holy Spirit by examining the third function of the Spirit - inspiring us to develop the mind of Christ. This Sunday, we are also celebrating Youth Sunday and Confirmation in The Loft! We will celebrate all of our young people who went through the confirmation process, and after worship, we will celebrate with a taco lunch just like the early Christians did. www.TheLoftLA.org

These messages were delivered on Sunday, April 26, 2026, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by our graduating seniors. Violet Voelker, Anjelita Letterman, Nate Gillispie, Cassius Clark,Gary Mize, Emerson Shankle-Knowlton, and Carter Viles all spoke. Together, these voices ask: What do we owe each other? What does it cost to be ourselves? And what does it look like when a community actually holds you? What does it mean to live a truly successful life? To face the thing you fear most — and survive it? To leave behind everyone you love, and discover you're still okay? In these seven senior sermons, young people on the edge of adulthood grapple with questions that don't have easy answers. One discovered that the only way past fear is through it — fencing, debate, and all. Another grew up outside every box society offered and found that difference isn't something to fix. A young person living with ADHD reflects on what support actually looks like — and what it means to finally feel like you belong. One asks a question that has haunted generations: how should a life be spent, if not in service to others? Another had their worst fear come true at 16 — and learned something unexpected about what comes after. And one delivers their sermon from across an ocean, describing what it felt like to hold hands in public without fear for the very first time.
