There is a special treat for Wandering in the Word today! Pastor Brandy, Melissa, and Pastor Ellery do a dramatic reading of the story about Jesus and the woman at the Well. They also talk about the question for the week, "Will you give me a drink?" and talk about the ways our questions reveal our true longings. We hope you can join in this great conversation!

Join Nicodemus in wondering about the possibilities of new beginnings as we reflect on Jesus' teaching in John 3:1-17. What do we need to unlearn? Pastor Brandy Gerjets preaching on the 2nd Sunday in Lent, March 5, 2023.

This week is the first Sunday in Lent and the Gospel story is from Matthew 4:1-11 about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness and the story from Genesis about Eve and Adam eating the forbidden fruit. So today we are talking about "What voice do you listen to?" and discuss why you should probably not listen to any talking animal!

Today is everyone's favorite liturgical celebration: "Transfiguration Sunday"! That may be a bit of a stretch, since a lot of us may not even remember what that story is all about! Join Pastor Brandy, Melissa, and Pastor Ellery as they dive into all things Transfiguration, sparkly, mountainous, and Jesus-y! 

Some of Jesus' most difficult teachings appear in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5. How are we to receive these teachings on the law, especially when we know we are saved by grace and not by the law? Matthew 5:21-37; Pastor Brandy Gerjets preaching; February 12, 2023.

Today on Wandering in the Word, we here some pretty challenging and extreme words from Jesus as we continue hearing more from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount from Matthew. Join Pastor Brandy and Pastor Ellery as they discuss this Sunday's lectionary texts and help us begin to think about how God may be speaking to us today through them!
