Bartimaeus Healed - February 21, 2016

2/22/2016

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

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

 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.

Transfiguration - February 7, 2016

Reading:  Psalm 27:1-4
Gospel:  Mark 8:27 - - 9:8
​Who do you say that Jesus is?  On this question hangs today’s scripture reading.  Do we seek the way of glory, the way of the cross, or understand the journey with Christ as somehow at the intersection of the two?  Given a glimpse of glory, Peter, James and John show an interest in staying at the top of the mountain.

    Sermons

    Elim's weekly worship services focus on the Narrative Lectionary, which follows the sweep of the biblical story arranged in a narrative sequence to help us see Scripture as a story that has coherence and a dynamic movement. The arc of Elim's Biblical teachings are rooted in this understanding of scripture.
