5 Love Languages of the Early Church
Easter 6
May 9, 2021
We hear Jesus tell his disciples, ‘Love one another, as I loved you.’ (John 15). This mother’s day, Pastor Rob reflects on what it looks like for us to love each other as Christ loved us. Specifically, Pastor Rob offers “the Five Love Languages of the early church.” Ultimately, it all goes back to Jesus love (and the recognition that we are not Jesus!)

The gardener who prunes
Easter 5
May 2, 2021
Jesus declares that God is the gardener; he is the vine; we are the branches. This is great and beautiful metaphorical way of thinking about us and God.
However, God is the kind of gardener who prunes! Pastor Rob reflects on how this past year has been a year of pruning, both as individuals and as a church.
This is not a bad thing though, as God works in our lives to remove all in us that does not bear fruit and that separates us from God.
Ultimately this reality of pruning leads to some reflection on who we are — truly, whose we are.
