In Mark 8, we hear how Peter believes he understands the whole truth about Jesus, but Jesus proclaims, "You Can't Handle the Truth". What is the Truth about Christ that is being revealed to you this Lent? 

In Mark 1, we hear the proclamation that Jesus is the beloved child of God. With this identity, He goes out into the wilderness and overcomes temptation. We also are beloved of children of God. How would our lives look different if we believed that? HOw would we treat others, if we believed that about them as well? 

As a reminder of Ash Wednesday, we are called to "repent and believe the gospel." This is last night's sermon on what that looks like this Lenten Season.

In Mark 9:2-9 we hear about the Transfiguration of Christ. Will the Transfiguration transform us? In the midst of uncertainty and the unknown, what will we do? Will we revert to what we know? Or will we adapt and overcome?  

In John 16:33, we hear that storms and persecution may come, but we are not to allow our circumstances to define God or us. We are called to be anchored to our faith in who God is and what God is doing

In Luke 10:38-40 we hear the story of Martha and Mary, in which we hear how Martha was distracted. What are you distracted from that you should be devoted to? Let's audit our attention and keep the main thing the main thing  

In Matthew 11:28-30 we hear an invitation to all of you who are OVERwhelmed, OVERcommitted, OVERexposed, and just OVER it. The invitation, from Christ, is come to me. In a world of do-it-yourself, will we accept this invitation?  

Our current time and world seem to be so worried about getting there or being anywhere but here. We seem so focused on what ifs or how this is not what I planned. Today we take a look at how we are called to seek God, EVEN NOW. To pause and seek God and trust in Him that even HERE is holy

As we celebrate Epiphany, we learn that encountering Christ calls us to go forth in A New Way. 

In Luke 9 we hear of Jesus turning His face to Jerusalem. This is a challenge for us, that no matter what the future may hold we trust in God's will and seek to Face Forward as we pursue God's will
