Holy Wonderings. This Lent we are leaning into the questions of faith. Who am I? How will I follow? Who do you love? And Who do you think you are? How shall we live? This week we ask the big question: What awaits? This week, Creator Sets Free, (Jesus), offers a glimpse of what is to come in the days that follow. We are reminded that where we least expect to find the Holy One, is where the Holy is often most fully revealed. Let us lean into the question, what awaits? together. We hope you will join us online or in person. Mark 13:28-37
Everything Changes
In our sermon series we are exploring how our brains were designed to be suspicious of change, and for good reason–homeostasis in good measure helps us thrive, protecting us from danger. But if we look closely at what the Creator set in motion, we find that change is the most constant part of life and necessary for animating our spirits as we find renewed purpose throughout life. Jesus advocated for changes that would keep us moving toward greater goodness! “Everything Changes” John 12:20-26 In our scripture this week Jesus asks us to let go of life “as it is” in order to create and multiply the love that is eternal. What feels like the chaos, or recklessness, of change is the breaking-open of possibility and the sprouting of new life. This is what it means to follow the change-maker Jesus and serve his purpose of more love in the world. -Pastor Courtney
