Jason Miller - In our final week with John's gospel, we're looking at the story Peter and the other disciples might have been telling themselves about everything that had happened, and the way Jesus helps them find a new story. 

What's Happening

This Easter, as we continue our journey through the Gospel of John, we're celebrating the creative power of God. When it seems like we've completely unmade all that is good or beautiful, God is just getting started. 

What’s Happening

Each year on Good Friday, we gather at noon to give witness to Jesus as he willingly gives his life away. This simple gathering includes songs, a brief reflection, a Gospel reading of the story of Jesus' death, and invitation to the table for Eucharist. 

Jason Miller - When the crowds rally around Jesus as he enters the city of Jerusalem, what expectations did they bring? Did they hope for a vision of power that He had given them, or did they simply hope that He would occupy the same, tired visions of power that keep breaking the world?

What’s Happening

Jason Miller - As Jesus prepares his friends to deal with his departure, he warns them to not have troubled hearts. But what about all of the things that are so troubling in the world? How do we allow ourselves to be moved by brokenness and suffering while remaining rooted in a deeper peace? 

What's Happening

Becky Ykema - Today's teaching comes from John 13, when we see Jesus choose to wash the disciples' feet in one of his final remaining acts before he goes to the cross. We explore what Jesus has to teach us in both giving and receiving an act of embodied love. 

What's Happening

Jason Miller - In John 10, Jesus is concerned about people who may try to lead his sheep astray. 2,000 years later, we're still learning to discern the sound of his voice from other voices that may claim to speak for him or represent his agenda, especially at a time when warfare is portrayed as the means by which God's kingdom will arrive. 

What's Happening

Jason Miller - In John 9, Jesus's disciples ask a question that so many of us ask when someone suffers or something goes wrong - whose fault is it? But rather than satisfy our desire for an answer, Jesus seizes the opportunity for healing and glory, and the man's healing disrupts the expectations of the people around him. 

What's Happening

Becky Ykema, Zach Gillis, and the SBCC Team - During this first Sunday of Lent, our community entered into a liturgy that reminded us of what this season is about and offered us the opportunity to respond through the practice of singing. 

What’s Happening

Jason Miller - Throughout the gospel of John, Jesus' identity and authority are challenged by others and reasserted by him. But maybe the important question isn't simply whether Jesus has authority, but what he does with it.
