Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! All paths have a purpose of destination. Every person you see is on a path. As an outdoorsman, I enjoy going out into the woods, or as my kids call it, “the deer woods.” Depending on what path I take will determine the difficulty of travel and time. If we are honest with one another, the easier th…

This sermon podcast begins with a reflection offered by worship associate Sara Ford. In the Christian calendar, Advent is a time of waiting and preparation for the coming of the Christ child. The story from first century Palestine tells us that with the birth of Jesus comes hope, love, the undoing of the status quo: a new reign of peace on earth. I…

“My Soul Magnifies the Lord,” Mary tells the Angel Gabriel in the gospel of Luke. The song she sings next is a vision of a world that might be, one where the mighty are thrown down, the hungry are fed, and the beloved community arrives. What lessons do her words hold for us, 2000 years later? ​

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! When I became a home owner, our home had little to no landscaping. This is where the “Honey-do” list started. We spent some money and invested the time and labor to spruce up our home’s curb appeal. It looked great! After a year, we noticed something very annoying. Weeds. They sprouted everywhere …

How do we build hope from the gifts and wounds we carry with us, while also navigating the fear of change?​

As we enter the Christmas season this sermon is all Old Testament Prophets! With good reason!Bởi Kevin Greenlee

On this Thanksgiving weekend, we consider the traditions from around the world and at our own tables of offering words of gratitude.

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! What is the most humble act you can do for someone else? I know, it’s completely counter cultural to embrace being humble. If you look out your window, you see a world that is calling for each person to do what’s true to them. Humility is something that is not natural. It is within our human natur…

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! Introductions are one of the greatest opportune moments that give us a taste of what is to come. How do you introduce yourself to others? It has been said that within 8-10 seconds, a Gen-Z individual has already made their mind up about a person. Within that 8-10 seconds, they have already determi…

Vaclav Havel, the Czech statesman and literary figure, wrote that hope “…is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart; it transcends the world that is immediately experienced, and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons.” How do we anchor ourselves to hope, even when it exists beyond our vision, on the other side of the horizon?…

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! Who do you put your trust in? In 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower signed a joint resolution from Congress stating “In God We Trust” as the United States national motto. For the first time, on October 1, 1957, this motto was printed on the back side of the dollar bill. The phrase itself is said to…

This sermon podcast begins with a reflection by worship associate Anna Newton. What can we say, in the aftermath of an election? How have the church’s commitments changed, or have they? How do we balance the uncertainty of this moment with the certainty of faith?

Leddy Hammock Negative expectations come to nothing, while positive and loving thoughts are manifesting now. Every good thought, like an angel presence, goes before me to make my way easy, safe, prosperous, and happy. I deny the stumbling blocks of doubt, fear, and worry, and instead I build up a strong and positive consciousness, paving the way to…

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! Do you ever feel like you need to hit a reset button in your life? If we allow it, we can let our lives get so busy and distracted from what is most important. The business controls and manipulates everything we end up doing. When we allow this to happen, the most important things about life get b…

“Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” “A republic, if you can keep it.” Benjamin’s Franklin’s words at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in September 1787 have obvious relevance in 2024. The first Unitarians and Universalists in the United States came from the first generation after the American Revolution, and f…

Leddy Hammock Highlights from Psalm 91 I shall not fear. There is no evil, for God is the only Presence and the only Power. I shall not fear, for there is no absence of life, substance, or intelligence, anywhere. I shall not fear. Pain, sickness, poverty, old age, and death cannot master me, for they are not real. I dwell on thoughts of Truth—“ange…

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! Has there every been a time where you wronged someone? I remember when I was around the age of 10, I was outside playing with one of my younger sisters. We were at my great grandmother’s house enjoying the summer evening playing tag in the back yard. For some reason, my sister “hit” me really hard…

God loves all people and desires them to come to the truth. However, some are not genuinely looking for the truth and reject the purposes of God for their lives.Bởi Kevin Greenlee

We have heard it said, the only constant is change, and that there is no growth, no growing forward without letting something go and embracing change. Sometimes a door must close in order for a window to open, but how do we navigate this kind of loss, these decisions about what and when to let go in order to be open to new possibilities? Anatole Fr…

This sermon podcast begins with a reflection by worship associate Betsy Hearn. Dan Hotchkiss writes, “Congregations create sanctuaries where people can nurture and inspire each other — with results no one can predict. The stability of a religious institution is a necessary precondition to the instability religious transformation brings.” How do we …
