The woman at the well and the Pharisee

This week we see Jesus meeting two very different people...Although the conversations go in different directions, it is clear that Jesus is meeting them where they are. Jesus meets us as well -- in our Baptisms. Based on John 3 and 4.

What is our Purpose?

Do you ever wonder what your purpose in life is? Ephesians tells us that our purpose are the good works that God prepared before hand for us. How do we discover these? We can learn about this from Nicodemus, a prominent teacher of the Jews who comes to Jesus by night. Based on John 3:1-17 and Ephesians 2:1-10

Wrath of God

Today we confront the reality of God's wrath, or God's anger. Where does God's anger come from? What does it look like in our lives? Does it have the final word? Based on John 2:13-22 and portions of the Noah story (Gen 8).

Glory and Discipleship

Today we hear the invitation to something glorious -- following Jesus and doing God's will. So what does glory look like for disciples? Mark 8:31-38 and portions of the Noah story (Genesis 7:1-10).

The hope of repentance

We live in a culture of fear -- fear of terrorism and fear of the economy. Is Lent a season of fear? Finally is there something about repentance that is based on hope? Based on Mark 1:9-15.

Mountain Top

We all have a deep hunger for a mountain top experience, a time when we sense God's presence, God's glory and God's love in our lives. Peter, James and John have this when Jesus takes them up the mountain and is transfigured. Come to the mountain and experience God today!

Church as Leper

Today we hear of Jesus curing a leper (Mark 1:40-45), who then goes on his way proclaiming the Good News. As a church (globally), we find ourselves like the leper, on the outside of society. Rather than be bitter, we can learn from the transformation of the leper about how God can put a new song in our hearts.
