June 28, 2020 Online Worship. Sermon: A Better God.

In a world that demands the sacrifices of lives -- poor lives, Black lives, Brown lives, queer lives, unsheltered lives, refugee lives -- we worship a God who calls us to live and love in solidarity with one another and break the cycles of destructive sacrifices. By saying no to the toxic status quo based on the logics of redemptive violence, and yes to the power of love and justice, we transform the world in peace and love together. That's what our Progressive Christian life of faith is about.
