Sermon Archive
Sermons at Pearl seek to engage the ancient stories, poems, and letters in the Bible through imaginative oration that rouses our wholeness as human beings. The act of the sermon at Pearl is space to ponder the sacred, opportunity to consider the mystery and love of God, and provocation to slow down, to think deeply, and to be stirred and inspired to bountifully live.
Reflections on All Saints
/The Festival of All Saints celebrates the faithful women and men, known and unknown, past and present, whose lives have been marked by the love and grace of God. It is an opportunity for us, as a church, to thank God for them and to remember the roles they have played in bringing God’s kingdom into our lives and into this world. This year, we heard reflections from Pearl members Irvin Brown, Jen Johnson and Tym Andrews.

/The Bible is full of ideas that blossom—from germination in Genesis to fruition in Revelation. At times, these ideas are grounded in metaphors that can be traced throughout the Bible.

Our hope for this sermon series is that the goodness and beauty of biblical imagery rouses our imagination and nurtures our flourishing.
