On this Thanksgiving weekend, we consider the traditions from around the world and at our own tables of offering words of gratitude.

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! Introductions are one of the greatest opportune moments that give us a taste of what is to come. How do you introduce yourself to others? It has been said that within 8-10 seconds, a Gen-Z individual has already made their mind up about a person. Within that 8-10 seconds, they have already determi…

Leddy Hammock Negative expectations come to nothing, while positive and loving thoughts are manifesting now. Every good thought, like an angel presence, goes before me to make my way easy, safe, prosperous, and happy.

Vaclav Havel, the Czech statesman and literary figure, wrote that hope “…is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart; it transcends the world that is immediately experienced, and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons.” How do we anchor ourselves to hope, even when it exists beyond our vision, on the other side of the horizon?…

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! Who do you put your trust in? In 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower signed a joint resolution from Congress stating “In God We Trust” as the United States national motto. For the first time, on October 1, 1957, this motto was printed on the back side of the dollar bill. The phrase itself is said to…

This sermon podcast begins with a reflection by worship associate Anna Newton. What can we say, in the aftermath of an election? How have the church’s commitments changed, or have they? How do we balance the uncertainty of this moment with the certainty of faith?

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! Do you ever feel like you need to hit a reset button in your life? If we allow it, we can let our lives get so busy and distracted from what is most important. The business controls and manipulates everything we end up doing.

“Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” “A republic, if you can keep it.” Benjamin’s Franklin’s words at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in September 1787 have obvious relevance in 2024.

Leddy Hammock Highlights from Psalm 91 I shall not fear. There is no evil, for God is the only Presence and the only Power. I shall not fear, for there is no absence of life, substance, or intelligence, anywhere. I shall not fear. Pain, sickness, poverty, old age, and death cannot master me, for they are not real. I dwell on thoughts of Truth—“ange…

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! Has there every been a time where you wronged someone?

God loves all people and desires them to come to the truth. However, some are not genuinely looking for the truth and reject the purposes of God for their lives.Oleh Kevin Greenlee

We have heard it said, the only constant is change, and that there is no growth, no growing forward without letting something go and embracing change. Sometimes a door must close in order for a window to open, but how do we navigate this kind of loss, these decisions about what and when to let go in order to be open to new possibilities? Anatole Fr…

This sermon podcast begins with a reflection by worship associate Betsy Hearn. Dan Hotchkiss writes, “Congregations create sanctuaries where people can nurture and inspire each other — with results no one can predict.

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast! What is it that keeps your mind on Christ? How often do you go back to the moments that drew you near to God?
