Seek and Doubt
June 4, 2020
Doubting often gets a bad rap in the church. I think that's a real shame--because as you'll hear, some pretty important people doubted at a pretty pivotal time in the life of the Christian faith. So, I say, go ahead and doubt.....but keep seeking, even as you doubt.
Gospel reading: Matthew 28:16-20
Seek the Shepherd
May 3, 2020
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want..... those familiar words to Psalm 23 are part of our focus today. But notice the pronouns in that phrase...my, I. When we visualize walking with Jesus the shepherd, it's often just you and Jesus. But the gospel calls us to be inclusive, to invite others to know God's love. Who are you called to invite?

Psalm 23
Seek the one on the donkey
April 4, 2020
Why does Jesus choose to ride a donkey on Palm Sunday? A horse would certainly be more majestic; a camel would imply being part of wealthy caravan; even an ibex has a hint of the exotic. But a stubborn, independent, homely creature? What does Jesus choice say about him and about us?
Gospel reading: Mark 11:1-11

Ever feel overwhelmed? Beyond stressed? Sure that everything is completely and totally falling apart? Yes, the Psalm writer has been there too. The writer found help in remembering God's steadfast love. Listen to what a difference that made for the writer, and perhaps, for you too.

Who is Jeus, truly? Today's text gives us a glimpse of Jesus as truly God and truly human. How do the disciples react? How do we react?

Seek to Obey
February 14, 2020
Seeking to be an authentic Christian can be, indeed most days it is, a challenge. What does God want me to do with.....or about that........ Here Jesus adds another layer of complexity to God's commandments. Why? To drive us to the cross, to remind us that without God's love and forgiveness found there, we can do nothing.
Gospel reading: Matthew 5:21-37
