Holy Week is about more than just remembering Jesus’ last week here on Earth. Holy Week is about connecting ourselves to the stories of Holy Week in a way that connects us closer to God through the love, life, sacrifice, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Join us in worship this Holy Week as we strive to connect more closely to Jesus’ experience and holiness.
There are so many times in life when things simply do not make sense, or we do not like the things that we are experiencing. Asking why and connecting our experiences to God’s loving response is crucial to making it through life. We may not always find satisfactory answers to our questions of why, but when we connect our why questions to God it makes walking through the realities of life significantly better.
In a divided and often polarized world, God created us to be connected. Reconciling these two differences is not an easy task, but when we are intentional about making connections, instead of being isolated, or making divisions, we can find the joy of life that God created us to experience. Come be connected with us in an all to often divided world!
Christmas is the story of God loving us so much that God came in person to live among us and help us see unconditional love. Moving forward to Christmas is not just about getting closer to December 25 on the calendar, it is about getting closer to God who has done everything to get close to us.
God’s generosity is truly amazing, and we have all been given so very much from God’s love. Moving into our new normal, we must learn to follow the example God has given to us and be extravagantly generous to the world around us. We have been given so very much, and all we have and all that we are is entrusted to us to be used to share Christ’s love.
Being united with each other as the body of Christ is one of the most constant themes in scripture. The unconditional love of Christ calls us to a unity that appreciates our differences while rejecting the worldly desire for uniformity.
All of us travel, wander, or run away from home from time to time. Being in loving relationship with our creator God is our home, and we can always come home to a God of open arms. Knowing we can return home in Christ’s love is the best homecoming we can experience.
It takes true courage to live the life that God calls us to live. Learning to move forward through life with the courage that the Holy Spirit can provide us allows us to experience and share Christ’s love in new and meaningful ways.
We often think of vacations as time away from our normal routines and places, but what if vacation this summer could be time away from those things that keep us from being the people that God desires for us to be. What if we can take the vacations we really need, not just the vacations that we enjoy?
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not the end of the story, it is the beginning of new life for us all. Living the Easter story and being people of new life and new beginnings is a key component of the Christian life.
During this season of Lent, may we focus on how we can connect with God through prayer. Jesus taught us how to pray with the Lord’s prayer so that we would all have the tools we need during a reflective life to be connected to our creator, redeemer, and sustainer.
Seeing the things, we do not have or do not like in life is so very easy, but we are called forward into gratitude for all that God has done and is doing in our life and world. How can we strive to truly rejoice in all things and be grateful despite the circumstances we may find ourselves in.
