Jane Hoober Peifer, guest preacher for the morning, and resource person for our weekend church retreat at Camp Brethren Woods, preached from Mark 10:17-31, the story of the rich man who came to Jesus sincerely wanting to know what he needed to do to enter the Kingdom of God. He did not receive the answer he was hoping for. Jane challenged us to open ourselves to Jesus' questions, which often challenge our assumptions about the way things are.

Pastor Phil preaches a two-part sermon (with a hymn in the middle), focusing on two different clusters of questions in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. These questions challenges our temptations to build relationships based on reciprocal affection (cluster one), or conversely to strengthen our identity and self-esteem by passing judgement on others (cluster two).

In today's sermon on "Back to School Sunday" at Park View Mennonite, Pastor Moriah Hurst drew upon the scripture from Joshua 4:1-7, the story of the people of Israel crossing the Jordan. As she contemplated the many transitions happening at the start of a new academic year and church year, she encouraged us to mark these transitions by intentionally choosing which stories from our past we pick up and carry with us to shape the way we see ourselves and our journey in the world.

Pastor Phil draws on this Sunday's Gospel story of Jesus healing the bent-over woman in the synagogue on the Sabbath (Luke 13:10-17), to encourage us all to answer the healing and freeing call of Christ, who does not desire anyone to walk through life bent over with burdens that oppress and hinder us from living the lives we were created to live.

Pastor Barbara asks, "How do we ever know when we have enough? And who decides? Our relationship with and use of money reveals a great deal about our values." Using the lectionary readings for the day, especially Jesus' parable about the rich man in Luke 12, Barbara challenged us to be intentional with how we live out our values, quoting Colossians 3:1, from The Message: “Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is.”
