An Incomplete Easter

Easter Sunday, April 12th, 2020

The Easter story is incomplete because the story of Easter is still being written today, by you and me, and our children and grandchildren and future generations. The decisions that we make, the things that we do, especially in scary and uncertain times, add chapters to the story of Easter. Easter is God’s story written to us.

Light

As Christ is the light of the world so – the visible and living body of Christ – is to be a light shining in the darkest of times. We are called, we are challenged to be children of light.

Dying of Thirst

Third Sunday in Lent, Sunday, March 15th, 2020

There are many people in our community who do not know the unconditional love of God revealed in Jesus. There are people who have been judged and found wanting by their communities. There are people who are hungry, physically and spiritually, and need to be fed, fed by our actions and words, if that be necessary. We are called to be the laborers who both sow the seeds of God’s love and reap the harvest of the seed that had been sown by others before us. In this season of Lent, let us not give something up but rather invite someone in.

Exodus 32: Now What?

Second Sunday in Lent, Sunday, March 8th, 2020

God is writing this incredible story of redemption and rescue, of mercy and grace.  But because God is holy and just, that story has to be on His terms.  What God requires and lays out for us has to matter more than everything else.
