Death Swallowed in Life  -  May 8, 2016

5/9/2016

 
Picture
Reading:  1 Corinthians 15:1-26, 51-57
Gospel:  Mark 12:26-27a

​To quell a debate over life after death, Paul wrote quite eloquently about new life made possible by the death and resurrection of Christ. Not only has Christ given us new life here on earth – a life driven not by fear, but by hope, faith, and love – but Christ has also made possible eternal life with our creator, God. 


Peter Heals in Jerusalem  -  April 10, 2016

4/11/2016

 
Picture
Reading:  Acts 3:1-10
Gospel:  Mark 6:53-56

​Peter and John offered healing in Jesus’ name as their witness to Jesus’ love for humanity. The people who were used to seeing the man asking for alms were filled with wonder and amazement at the sight of the lame man walking. There are many things about Jesus and about God’s world that can fill us with wonder and amazement. Are we open to seeing?


You Shall Be My Witness  -  April 3, 2016

4/4/2016

 
Picture
Reading:  Acts 1:1-14
Gospel:  Mark 6:7-13

​Jesus left his followers with the promise of the Holy Spirit, which would be God’s presence with them at all times and in all places. Jesus also left them (and us) with hope that one day Jesus would return, and this world would be restored to the world God intended. In the meantime, we have been given the charge to create God’s intended world with our thoughts, words, and actions. 


Resurrection - Easter Sunday - March 27, 2016

3/28/2016

 
Picture
Reading:  Psalm 118:21-27
Gospel:  Mark 16:1-8
​​Some of Jesus’ followers went to the tomb to anoint him, very early in the day, as soon as it was permitted.  When they arrived, they found an empty tomb and a messenger who sent them out from that place with good news to share.

Lord's Supper, Prayer in Gethsemane - March 24, 2016

3/25/2016

 
Picture
Maundy Thursday
Reading:  Psalm 116:12-19
Gospel:  Mark 14:22-42
​In an upper room, the disciples and Jesus gather for the Passover meal.  He speaks to them of betrayal and faithfulness.  They claim they will never deny him.  Out in the garden, in a mood of despair, he asks them to keep vigil with him, but they are unable to stay awake.


End of the Age - March 13, 2016

3/14/2016

 
Picture
Reading:  Psalm 102:12-17
Gospel:  Mark 13:1-8, 24-37
​Across from the temple, great edifices and porticoes of stone, Jesus responded to yet another question from his disciples.  “When will we see the end of all things?"  No one knows, he says, and many will mistakenly attempt to declare the time, but a disciple’s priority is not to predict, but merely to stay alert.


Great Commandment - March 6, 2016

3/7/2016

 
Picture
Reading:  Psalm 89:1-4
Gospel:  Mark 12:28-44

​How do we find our way to the realm of God?  How do we sort through the hundreds of commandments offered in Holy Scripture?  How shall we be judged?  Such questions were brought before Jesus by all the people he encountered, whether experts disputing a point of law, disciples seeking to learn, or everyday people negotiating situations that were anything but theoretical.


Bartimaeus Healed - February 21, 2016

2/22/2016

 
Picture
Reading:  Psalm 34:11-14
Gospel:  Mark 10:32-52
​Despite repeated lessons, some of Jesus’ disciples continue to seek out a place of honor.  They do not see the meaning of what he has been teaching.  As they leave Jericho, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus sees what they cannot, is healed, and begins to follow.


First Last and last First - February 14, 2016

2/16/2016

 
Picture
Reading:  Psalm 19:7-10
Mark 10:17-31
​As his journey of teaching and healing continues into the region of Judea, Jesus continues to confuse and scandalize his listeners.  Even his disciples are shocked by the difficult lessons he teaches.  An apparently perfect life of following the law is not enough, he indicates.  A deeper turning over of one’s life to God is required. 


Ash Wednesday - Passion Prediction - February 10, 2016

2/11/2016

 
Picture
 Reading:  Psalm 27:1-4
Gospel:  Mark 9:30-37
​​Still convinced of glory and victory, Jesus’ disciples are not excited to hear talk of betrayal and death. Even as the time draws near, the disciples have not yet been able to grasp what he has been teaching.  Jesus places one of the little ones in the middle of the assembly and declares once again the upside-down nature of the good news he is offering.
