Take Off Your Shoes Sermon Podcast By Marie Duquette

In John 14:1-14, Jesus tells his disciples that there is enough room for them in his Father's house. Pastor Marie invites us to consider how we can experience a sense of enough room for all people to realize life's ups and downs, and events big and small, especially while feeling isolated and overwhelmed.

In John 10:1-10, Jesus invites all people into the sheepfold to have life abundantly saying "I am the gate for the sheep". These words are spoken to people in distress. Pastor Marie invites us to pray together in solidarity with all who are suffering and for whom abundant life seems far away right now.

Jesus meets us on our Road to Emmaus during this pandemic. Barbara Brown Taylor's "Gospel Medicine" is recited to help us understand how the Gospel of Luke interprets this road and how we recognize Jesus on our journeys. Sole pastor, Marie Duquette, speaks to us again from University of Michigan's Ann Arbor at King of Kings Lutheran Church.

Mission: Inclusion, mercy, justice

On this second Sunday of Easter, we hear the story from whence the phrase "doubting Thomas" was born, and consider how what the disciples were doing 8 days after Jesus rose from the grave, parallels our circumstances today. And what we can do to be faithful in spite of our present circumstances. Find the full video service on YouTube's Be Ye Lifted! channel.

This is the Eulogy / Sermon {Eulymon} given by Pastor Marie Duquette at the memorial service for her mother, Carole Duquette-Kuehn, at King of Kings in Ann Arbor on March 7, 2020. It connects Women's History Month, with the life of service of her mother, with the woman who anoints Jesus, about whom Jesus says, "the Gospel will go forth in memory of her."[Mark 14: 3-9]

Prof. Steven Whiting (University of Michigan) traces the connections between Psalm 121, Paul's writing on the law and grace and John 3, setting up the conclusion by Pastor Marie, who clarifies the truth about this thing called the rapture. 

Today we enter Lent via Jesus in the desert, where Satan famously tempts him 3 times. Of course it happens in the desert. A place where Jesus was isolated, or so it seems. The deserts in our lives are many and vast. Fortunately, we too often find there the unexpected grace of God.
