Telling Our Stories of Jesus

Apr 23, 2023   ·     •   Luke 24:13-35

The Wholeness Looks Different After You Have Been Broken

Apr 07, 2023   ·     •   John 18: 1-19; 42

I want to be a better listener, I want to have others listen better too. My hope, my goal, is that I try and turn inward and deal with my broken parts and places where Christ is not. Good Friday is good for that. More

Feels like Me. Feels Like Home. Always Has.

Mar 12, 2023   ·     •   Luke 19:41-44

Being seen. It’s a powerful thing. To know that another human being has truly seen you, understood you,
received you for who you really are: That is pure grace. It is being seen. Most of us would do anything for it. More

What God Can Do with Earth and Ash

We are called to See not just look, Easter Sunday 2021

Apr 04, 2021   ·  

Mary the disciple is able to see because she is within the community and she can build on what is seen before her, now not just a stolen body, but a missing body, the wrapping left, the cloth left, she then is able to see angels and then her teacher.  I wonder if she would have been stuck on one part of it if she did not have a community to nudge her along, to help her see something radically new, life-changing new, transformative?  More

They Wish To See Jesus.

Mar 21, 2021   ·  

So how do I show you the divine spark this morning?  How do I open the door so that you get to see Jesus?  Where do I find Andrew to ask where he is and if it is okay for you all to come and have a peek?  Come and have a chat that leads to a lifelong friendship, connection?  I am not sure, and I know that I do not have to do it alone.  I do not have to be the magic conduit to God, I point and hopefully, you go together, you make community and you see a way forward that brings more God, more Love, more light into the world.     More

Feb 21, 2021   ·  

I did not miss reminding you all of your mortality, it seems we all are well aware of it right now, ashes are not necessary while we are all/or should be wearing masks.  I did ask people at the Ash Wednesday service to consider these questions,   1. Is there a daily action/behavior that you might take on during Lent that would help you affirm God’s life-giving power over death?   2.  Is there a daily action/ behavior that you want to let go of during Lent in order to embrace God’s promise of new life.

Christmas Day

Dec 25, 2020   ·  

Our story is to be with God, or if you rather a selfless way to go through the world.  Seeking and serving Christ in ALL others.  This Christmas morning is the start.  Like my young couples being reminded that the wedding is the start of the marriage and that they will have to work to keep it alive, and creative and ongoing and generative.   Christmas morning the birth of this child, the breaking of God into the life of Humanity is the start.  WE are called people to move towards others so their lives will not have to be one of suffering we are called this morning to realize that this is the start not the fulfillment of God promise to this world and we are called to change the world, to be apart and to help as we can  so that any child born outside has a chance to grow up and be apart of this world in new and amazing ways.   More
