Go to the World! - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka
February 04, 2024 15:00 - 26 minutes - 18.2 MBIn our earliest days, Village Presbyterian Church was known as “the mission church on Mission Road” because of our commitment to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the whole world. Not content to focus on ourselves, the first decision of the new church 75 years ago was to send money to support the founding of new churches in other places. Jesus sent his first followers to go and make disciples of all nations. Today, we renew our commitment to obey that great commission to go to the wor...

All Are Welcome - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka
January 21, 2024 06:00 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MBCourageous and not without conflict and controversy, the welcome of all peoples was built into the early ethos of Village Church.

Arise and Shine - Guest preacher Rev. Cari Pattison
January 07, 2024 15:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MBAs we enter a new year together, what does it look like to watch for the star? To look for those signs of God’s arrival in our lives and in our world? Epiphany season points to discovery, illumination, a new realization. We are still in a time of long nights and short days, and the concept of spiritual “dark” and “light” may hold more than first meets the eye. In Barbara Brown Taylor’s “Learning to Walk in the Dark,” she lifts up some of the unique gifts that only the darkness can bring. But...

And His Name Shall Be… Everlasting Father - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka
December 17, 2023 15:00 - 19 minutes - 13.7 MBThroughout the Hebrew scriptures, God is named as “Father.” God is understood to be the parent of all peoples. Jesus, too, embodies the role of parent to his disciples, the women and men who followed him. He talks sternly to them at times yet with compassion. He worries about them. He is hurt by them. He clearly loves them without condition. And while they did not understand it then, his love would endure beyond time and place. His love would be everlasting! Our scripture reading is Revela...
And his Name Shall Be...Mighty God - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka
December 10, 2023 15:00 - 19 minutes - 13.8 MBThe early church struggled to understand Jesus’ relationship with God. He was the Son of God and yet, at the same time, Thomas names Jesus as “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28) In Jesus we know the mighty God. Time and again Jesus displays the power and strength of God. Jesus carries in him divine power and that power transforms and changes every person with whom he comes into relationship. Our scripture reading is Psalm 96.

Spiraling Out - Rev. Caroline Barnett
November 26, 2023 15:00 - 19 minutes - 13.7 MBEverywhere we turn, human beings seek to define who is and who isn’t part of the community of God. But the promises that Christ embodies often go one step past what feels comfortable for us. Even the very human Jesus sometimes encounters this discomfort, as he did when he rejected the Canaanite woman. Fortunately, she believes so deeply in the promises of God that she refuses to allow human categories to keep her daughter from a miracle. There is an extended metaphor here, if we have eyes to...

We Believe. Help Our Unbelief. - Rev. Tom Are
October 01, 2023 14:00 - 18 minutes - 12.7 MB“We believe; help our unbelief.” This prayer has become part of our liturgy at Village Presbyterian Church. It is an unavoidable prayer, not because our faith is weak, but because the Gospel is so big. The call of this Gospel is so demanding it is never something we embrace with certainty, but with hope. This is why we pray, “We believe; help our unbelief.” Our scripture reading is Mark 9:14-29. Support the show Contact Village Presbyterian Church villagepres.org communications@villagepr...

He led the Israelites out of slavery only to find himself surrounded by desert with no clear map of where to go. They were lost. They had run low on food, and now they were without water.

On Holding On and Letting Go - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka
August 20, 2023 14:00 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MBToday we turn to Pixar's “Up." The Gospel story is ultimately a love story of God’s love shown in Jesus Christ.
