What is faith in such times as these? | Rev. Ruth MacKenzie | Unitarian Universalist Sermon 02.09.25

In a world unraveling with discovery, upheaval, and uncertainty, what does it mean to have faith? Is faith just belief, or is it something deeper? Rev. Ruth MacKenzie explores the radical idea that faith equals trust—trust in what is real, trust in the tragic beauty of life, and trust that we are not alone in this unfolding mystery. From the seismic shifts of the 16th century to the chaos of our digital age, this sermon weaves history, theology, and personal reflection into a powerful meditation on how we anchor ourselves when everything is in flux. Where do we place our trust? What spiritual wells do we drink from to sustain us? Join us for this deeply moving and thought-provoking message, and ask yourself: If you had a temple in the secret spaces of your heart, what would you worship there? 🌱 Enjoy these sermons?
