August 11, 2019Isaiah 1:1, 10-20 NRSV
Kevin PowellFirst Lutheran ChurchCalgary, AB
Our journey of faith is to return to Jerusalem, to claim our citizenship, and to grow more fully into who God has created us to be.
To build on the strengths that you’ve been given, to grow in the love that is inside you, to walk in the wisdom that God has given you, so that you will shine God’s loving power into this world, and be a light to those living in shadows.

July 09, 2019 The Prophets: Elisha part 2 - Pentecost 4
July 7, 20192 Kings 5:1-14 NRSV
Kevin PowellFirst Lutheran ChurchCalgary, AB
Our value comes not from service but because we have been created in love for love. The Prophet Elisha showed us that its ok not to be in control.Lack of control actually makes us free, free to live life as our true selves, free to explore who we really are, free to see our life as a vast expanse of opportunity, rather than a set of constraints imposed on us.

July 02, 2019 The Prophets: Elisha
Resurrection takes discernment. It doesn’t happen in an instant.
It takes deep listening. Listening to each other. Listening to our community. Listening to our culture. Listen to the words of scripture. All through which, we listen to God.
Discernment cannot be planned. It cannot be mapped in advance. Discernment doesn’t have a predetermined outcome. Discernment is as prayerful as it is strategic.

June 25, 2019 The Prophets: Elijah - Pentecost 2
June 23, 20191 Kings 19:1-15a NRSV
Kevin PowellFirst Lutheran ChurchCalgary, AB
It was in the sound of sheer silence through which God spoke to the prophet Elijah. Terrifying silence. A silence that demanded Elijah listen.Silence is confrontational. It isn't the absence of sound but the presence of truth. Silence isn't just experienced with our ears but with our souls also. Silence is an invitation to a new beginning, it doesn't just expose our emptiness, it points to a different path; God's path for you.

June 18, 2019 Sing!
June 16, 2019John 16: 12-15 NRSV
Kevin PowellFirst Lutheran ChurchCalgary, AB
A very real, and tangible expression of our human unity as creations of a creative God is when we gather in prayer and praise, when we sing together, when our voices unite in praise and even when our voices are raised in lament and longing, when our hearts are joined through common song, we mirror the three-in-one God who is united in love.

Kevin PowellFirst Lutheran ChurchCalgary, AB
