March 17, 2020 Condemned by the Righteous
March 15, 2020Matthew 26: 69-Matthew 27: 2 NRSV
Kevin PowellFirst Lutheran ChurchCalgary, AB
John said “There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear expects punishment. The person who is afraid has not been made perfect in love. We love because God first loved us.”Within each crisis lives an opportunity. It could be that within this world health crisis, God is unveiling the futility of thinking that we live as individuals, that our actions are independent of others, that our lives don’t touch others. And God is giving us the opportunity to live in a more purposeful community and in a more intentional interconnectedness.That could be why scripture teaches us to love your neighbour as yourself. When we love each other as ourselves we move away from self-serving self-preservation, to ensuring that everyone participates in and enjoys the fruits of community.

As you come to receive the bread and the wine, the body and blood of Jesus, in this meal of hope, think about where you need hope. Where do you need the presence of Christ in your life? Where do you need a fresh start? Where do you need forgiveness? Where do you need healing? Where do you need love? Where does your story need to change?

February 2, 2020Matthew 5:1-12 NRSV
Kevin PowellFirst Lutheran ChurchCalgary, AB
I’ve noticed that it’s in our hardship that we connect most deeply with others. It’s in our shared broken humanity, knowing that we are not alone in our suffering, that we receive a blessing. It’s from the cross that we receive resurrection
