Sermons & Such
Teaching Team Speaker Sylvia Williams continues Haven’s Collective Care in Uncaring Times series by exploring Jesus’ command to “love one another and asking what it looks like for a church to become known by its love. Drawing from the stories of John and the Book of Ruth, Sylvia reflects on the power of accompaniment, generosity, hospitality, and community across differences. Drawing from her own experiences of finding belonging in small group community and practical examples from Haven’s own life together, she reminds us that love is most visible in the everyday ways we show up for one another.

In this new series, Everyday Heroes, Leah invites us to look beyond biblical “heroes” we already know and toward the quiet courage of everyday people who resist violence and preserve life. Centering the story of the midwives Shiphrah and Puah in Exodus, the sermon explores how faithfulness can take the form of moral courage, sacred skill, and strategic resistance.
