The Good Shepherd
Sunday Apr 21, 2024
Sunday Apr 21, 2024
Our Lord does not want anyone left out of the wholeness and security of life in the kingdom. That’s why he is the Good Shepherd. He leads and loves people into confident living and eternal life.
"I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd."
-John 10:14-16

Follow Jesus Christ

Sunday Apr 14, 2024
Truly feeding Jesus’s sheep means offering good news that impacts people’s lives holistically. That’s what people are looking for most in this dark and broken world.
"He said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?' Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, 'Do you love Me?' And he said to Him, 'Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed My sheep.'"John 21:17

Jesus Is Life

Holy Communion is the highest moment of the Christian life, for Christ is mysteriously present each time we gather at the table and break this bread, symbolic of his act of salvation.
"Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight. And they said to one another, 'Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?'"Luke 24:30-32

He Is Risen: Passover Fulfilled
Sunday Mar 31, 2024
Sunday Mar 31, 2024
The church dares not forget the incredible grace we have to celebrate. It is grace that rolls away the stones from the tombs of our existence and helps to make sense of it all.
"Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead."-John 20:6-9

"So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:'Hosanna to the Son of David!Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!Hosanna in the highest!'And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, 'Who is this?' So the multitudes said, 'This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.'"-Matthew 21:6-11

Wanting to avoid suffering is human nature. Christ has shown that suffering can be redemptive.

God did not save the Israelites by taking the serpents away. The Israelites were saved by faith in God’s ability to save them.
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."-John 3:14-15

A Servant's Heart
Sunday Mar 03, 2024
Sunday Mar 03, 2024
We always want Jesus to be patient, meek, and mild. But there are many times when bold action is required to cleanse the cancer of greed and avarice from our lives.
"And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. And He said to those who sold doves, 'Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!'"-John 2:14-16

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Me
Sunday Feb 25, 2024
Sunday Feb 25, 2024
Jesus models powerfully what true following means as he denies self, takes up the cross, and follows God’s lead.
'When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it."'-Mark 8:34-35

Sunday Feb 18, 2024
Sunday Feb 18, 2024
Jesus not only lived in the reality of the kingdom’s presence, he also proclaimed its arrival. In announcing the kingdom’s arrival, he challenged his listeners to respond in repentance and faith.
"Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.'"
-Mark 1:14-15
