Justice. Justice that looks like fairness, consideration for the powerless, the suffering, those who have been mistreated. Justice that is making right judgments, doing the right thing even when it is hard. It is not prejudging or misjudging people. It is always seeking to do what is right. It is not simply something we believe in, but what each of us are called to be and to do. We are to be just. And this is something that every Republican, every Democrat, every liberal and every conservative, should agree upon, even if we disagree about what precisely it always looks like and how we get there. And as Christians, it is what the Lord requires of us. God expects us, requires of us, that we do justice – we judge with righteousness, we ensure fairness and equity on a large scale, and in our individual lives. https://cor.org/downtown/sermons/pride-and-partiality-or-pure-religion Tue, 20 Sep 2022 17:40:00 +0000 Adam Hamilton https://d33stri0dm17m9.cloudfront.net/sermons/audio/09-18-22_PODCAST.mp3?mtime=20220920123951 Church of the Resurrection, Podcast, Sermons, comadmin@cor.org (Church of the Resurrection)noToday’s theme from Luke winds its way throughout the letter, and it has to do with the “great reversal” that comes from the gospel. He speaks of pride and humility, of favoritism or partiality in the church, and he speaks of judging others, of the rich and the poor and of what constitutes true religion and the worthless substitute. Take a listen as Pastor Adam Hamilton invites us to consider how James calls us not to judge a book by its cover, not to make assumptions about others but to value and show honor, dignity and respect particularly to those who are struggling. https://cor.org/downtown/sermons/even-the-demons-believe-and-shudder Mon, 12 Sep 2022 20:34:00 +0000 Adam Hamilton https://d33stri0dm17m9.cloudfront.net/sermons/audio/09-11-22_PODCAST.mp3?mtime=20220912102645 Church of the Resurrection, Podcast, Sermons, comadmin@cor.org (Church of the Resurrection)no“Even the demons believe…and shudder” is so powerful – it is not enough simply to believe, we’re meant to act. You can be an “armchair quarterback” and you’ll only be a fan. Or you can give your time, do what makes you a little uncomfortable, give something of yourself, volunteer and serve others, and you’ll actually be on Jesus’ team and in the game. So, let’s not be practical atheists – it is not enough simply to believe in God, we’re meant to do something about it. And in doing something about it – in activating our faith, we find meaning, joy and life, and the world is changed. So, are you going to be a fan or are you ready to get in the game? https://cor.org/downtown/sermons/trials-temptations-and-the-testing-of-your-faith Mon, 29 Aug 2022 15:10:00 +0000 Adam Hamilton https://d33stri0dm17m9.cloudfront.net/sermons/audio/08-28-22_PODCAST.mp3?mtime=20220829101008 Church of the Resurrection, Podcast, Sermons, comadmin@cor.org (Church of the Resurrection)noWhat does it mean to consider it “joy” when we face hardship in life? Our love, faith, and character are tested in and by both trials and temptations. It's not God administering a test - it is life that administers the test. Life is a test, every day a test, and James knows that as we remain steadfast in trials, and resist the temptations, our fiath grows and is found to be tried and true. Tap play and take a listen as we explore how God works through trials, temptations, and the testing of our faith. https://cor.org/downtown/sermons/a-defining-moment Mon, 22 Aug 2022 16:30:00 +0000 Adam Hamilton https://d33stri0dm17m9.cloudfront.net/sermons/audio/08-21-22_Podcast.mp3?mtime=20220822113001 Church of the Resurrection, Podcast, Sermons, comadmin@cor.org (Church of the Resurrection)noThe United Methodist Church is at a defining moment in the history of our denomination, and as we kick off the fall here at Resurrection, now is an important time to remember who we are, who God has called us to be and what God has called us to do - as a church, and as individual Christians.

This week we explore a basic premise of biblical faith: We all need help sometimes. We need deliverance. We need rescuing. We need God to save us. Jesus himself came to save us. His name, Yeshua in Hebrew, means God Saves. Christians call him our Savior. Tap play and take a listen as Pastor Adam explores our need for a Savior through the lens of tractors. https://cor.org/downtown/sermons/david-and-goliath Mon, 13 Jun 2022 15:44:00 +0000 Scott Chrostek https://d33stri0dm17m9.cloudfront.net/sermons/audio/podcast_6-12-22.mp3?mtime=20220613082652 Church of the Resurrection, Podcast, Sermons, comadmin@cor.org (Church of the Resurrection)noWelcome to our second week of Epic Tales: A New Look at Old Testament Stories where we explore some of the most popular and well-known bible stories that many us heard as children but don't think about often as adults.

In Luke, we see Jesus consistently lifting up the outsiders, outcasts, and even outlaws. Jesus sees beauty in the people that society pushes aside.

We’ve noted how Luke wants us to see the Jesus lifts up the lowly. He befriends the outsiders, the outcasts and the outlaws. But we’ve also seen that he has regularly called out religious leaders, frustrated by the way the way many, in their self-righteousness, pushed away the non-religious and nominally religious people of his day. Throughout the gospel we find the conflict building between some of the religious authorities.
