Ephesians 6:10-20

We continue our 6-week series focusing on the meaning of the Gospel of Peace.

Ephesians 6:10-20

We continue our series by focusing on the meaning of Justice

Ephesians 6:10-20

The Pauline letter to the Church in Ephesus comes to a group of people sorting out how to live a life of faith amidst the current world.  This is a situation we all face.  Everything changes when the grace of God becomes a part of your life.  But how does it change?

We will spend the next six weeks working through an image given in this letter of "The Armor of God" to help us understand how to navigate a life of faith today.

Are you prepared?

Romans 8:12-17

On this Trinity Sunday we walk through the meaning Paul lays out for the church in Rome concerning our identity as the church.  We are the household of God, founded by Jesus Christ, empowered and drawn together in unity (not uniformity) through the Holy Spirit.

Wherever we go, God is there.

Acts 2:1-21

The world had no idea what was about to happen.  It still doesn't.

Do you?

John 17:6-19

John 20:19-31  --  The original ending of our fourth Gospel gives us a strange rhythm of peace and locked doors.

Let us hear this story anew and receive the good news of God's grace through the peace of Jesus Christ.

Are you ready to live on both sides of the door?

Mark 16:1-8  --  Our earliest Gospel narrative ends strangely.  Join us as we consider the meaning for this strange ending and the invitation it offers us all today.

Jesus is pleading with God to remove the cup of suffering from him.  Three times he prays and then finds his disciples--whom had all sworn to follow him even to death--asleep.

We have fallen asleep too.

There was hope for them and there is hope for us.

Are we ready to confront our drowsiness?

Mark 10-11 -- PALM SUNDAY

We enter our final week of Lent by reading through the scene presented in our oldest Gospel story.  The message given is bold and direct...for those paying attention.

Let us tell the story of The One Who Comes as we enter the week which leads us to the cross.

Will you rend your heart completely?
