Faith & Resilience

The Rev. Chris Rankin-Williams 12 August, 2021

In my sermon last Sunday I preached about Elijah despairing in the wilderness and praying that God would take away his life (1 Kings 19:4-8.) My focus was on what we learn about faith and resilience from the story of Elijah. The sermon is available on our live stream page and starts at minute 21:00. The audio is available on our sermon podcast page.

In the sermon I quoted Olympic mountain biker and Marin local Kate Courtney who wrote a powerful reflection in the Washington Post titled “What it feels like to lose at the Olympics. And how to pick yourself up again.” You can read it here.

I highly recommend it. It reads like a well-crafted sermon, especially reading it from a faith perspective. It also offers a helpful perspective for approaching the resurgent pandemic.

Our Mission

We pray, worship and celebrate the Gospel responding to the needs of our communities while building relationships to support us on our journey of faith.

Our Vision

St. John’s is a spiritual home that welcomes all, loves and respects all, and serves all in Christ’s name.
