Jesus, Our Triumphant King Arrives, Palm Sunday Worship April 10

The Eternal King comes riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. In this moment it was time to join in the simple innocent parade that celebrated Jesus’ arrival. So many had been touched by His warmth. They had been impressed by the miraculous things He had done. They were ready to call Jesus King. Just five days later Jesus will be crucified. Then, for three days it seemed as if darkness hadh won. Who in Jerusalem could guess that the celebration of the King was just beginning? The eternal triumph would be His!

The Cornerstone of Christ Jesus, April 3rd Worship

Start a puzzle and you want to find the corner pieces. If you are building an archway of stones you would need to find the perfect fitting piece to finish it off. Jesus tells us that he is this essential piece that completes everything. Once we put Jesus in the place of honor and glory everything else goes together because he is “the prize for which God has called us heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Our Reconciling God, March 27 Worship

Some have called it, "The Parable of the Prodigal Son." Others call it, "The Parable of the Waiting Father." It is one of Jesus’ most well known stories. Hearing it you might feel like the son who makes regretful decisions, or you might feel like the father who awaits his son’s return. You could feel like the brother who is resentful of the gracious welcome received when the wayward son returns home. As we listen to Jesus’ story we hear his promise that our God is reconciling all things to himself. In this we hope and rejoice.

God's Way of Mercy, March 20 Worship

Jesus teaches God’s way of mercy. His mercy is lavish and generous. It is also practical and ethical. With His mercy God invites us to see things as He does. Listening to the news or sharing a conversation we pray for God’s mercy to be our way of understanding and being in God’s Spirit.

The Refuge of His Wing, March 13 Worship

Jesus made many references to birds. Science tells us birds have been around a long time. No wonder the Eternal One has a fondness for them. Birds are miraculous, and that is why they lend themselves well to many things Jesus wanted to express. When Jesus laments over Jerusalem’s lack of regard he says, “I have longed to gather you, like a bird would cover their young under their protective wing.” We want to say, Yes Lord, cover us under your protective wing.”

Jesus Shows Us the Way through the Wilderness. Worship: March 6 2022

Jesus enters the wilderness of temptation, joining us in all of our humanity. We will watch as Jesus defeats the devil’s temptations by putting the way of His Father before his own needs. Jesus can inspire us to meditate on our own lives and the agendas that drive them. Lent can be a kind of spring time for the soul as we find spiritual renewal.

The Glory of Our God, Transfiguration Worship, February 27

On the day of his Transfiguration Jesus revealed the glory of God as we will see Him in heaven. In dramatic fashion, Jesus reminded His disciples that staying in the glory on the mountain was not an option. The fulfillment of Christ's mission was down on the plain. As we relive the moment of Transfiguration on the mountain we celebrate that God can sustain us through the dark valleys by His living presence before us. Jesus has revealed the great glory of God, and we are privileged to glimpse a little peak of what we will see forever in eternity

Our Creative God, February 20 Worship

When Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery they could never have imagined what God was going to create by their misdeed. God is consistently creative. His goodness and love is a powerful recipe for surprise. God sees our circumstance differently then we do. Jesus teaches, “Love your enemies.” He is confident that love is creative. His love has even created a way for our life to be eternal. We celebrate our Creative God.

The Wisdom of Jesus, February 13 Worship

Jesus echoes the wisdom of the prophets, like Jeremiah, who preceded him by six hundred years. As a teacher Jesus builds on ancient wisdom: to trust God is a life-giving choice. Jeremiah says that instead of being a dry desert, the one who trusts God is like a tree planted by the water. With his truly eternal perspective, Jesus, the Son of the Living God brings wisdom alive forever.

God is Present, February 6 Worship

We have been visited by God. In the season of Epiphany we celebrate the entrance of Jesus, the Son of the Living God into our world. Even more wonderful is that God wants to stay with us. He wants to be present in our work day and in our time of relaxing and reflection. We celebrate that God is present with us.
