Ephesians 6:13-18

Superheroes are strong, brave, and always win in the end. Sometimes we feel like we could never be superheroes and complete great feats -- or can we? With Christ by our side, our dreams of being superheroes are not light-years away.

Luke 16:1-13

We all have a wish list in the back of our mind, don’t we – the car we’d like to drive, the new cookware we’ve always wanted, that pair of shoes we’ve had our eye on? But what if we had another list we were even more excited about? One that kept track of all the opportunities we have to be a generous friend? Jesus tells us that everyone is happy to see a generous friend.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Miracles streak through our lives like a rare meteor. But a miracle without love, however dazzling, would not be from God. A miracle that came without caring would leave us dry and empty. But, if you’ve ever been part of a community of love, you know it’s one of the most life-giving, healing places in the world.

Jesus did not come to give you half a life. He came to give you a full life – life to the max. He promises to give you all you need, so you can become all you were meant to be. And we discover along the way that holy choices are also healthy choices.

Luke 7:1-10

Does it take faith to receive healing? And whose faith does it take? Jesus told a woman with bleeding and a man with blindness, “Your faith has healed you.” When a paralyzed man was lowered through a roof, Jesus was amazed at the faith of the man’s friends. And at other times it seems Jesus was the only one with faith in the healing. What is the role of faith in healing – and in waiting for a healing?

Luke 13:10-17

When we get sick, we might think that the illness comes from God. What do you believe about that? And more importantly, what did Jesus believe? What did he say about the source of disease and disability? Let’s look to him as we start our series, In Sickness and in Health.

April 12, 2020 - Easter Sunday

The resurrection of Jesus wasn't just for his sake. It was for you! Jesus's resurrection proves that his death wasn't a defeat. It was a victory for all who trust in him. And Easter is a promise of our own resurrection to come -- the day when God will remake the world by bringing heaven and earth together. It's a promise that's already beginning to come true, through the hearts and actions of every one of us.

Who was more misunderstood than Jesus?

Who was more despised?

He was a threat to those in power.

He disappointed those who wanted power.

He confused those who had no power.

The punishment he received seemed so tragic, so unfair.

No one knew it was God’s plan to bring us peace.

Just after Jesus predicts that one disciple will betray him, and just before he predicts that the rest will fall away from him, Jesus does something extraordinary. He gives them bread and says, “This is my body.” He hands them the cup and says, “This is my blood.” It was a gift not based on their qualifications but on his grace. As flawed followers, we receive this same gift today.

What kind of leader do you want? What kind of leader do we need? in 332 BC, the conquering Alexander the Great rode into Jerusalem on his huge white stallion. More than three centuries later, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a borrowed donkey -- very different beasts for very different kings. Today only one is still hailed as a king, the one who taught the way of humility.
