“Conflict Resolution” Matthew 18: 15-20
There are those with whom we find it challenging to live in peace and harmony.  This week's sermon serves as a reminder that we are not called to live intimate relationships with everyone we know.  However, we are commissioned to love all and work toward reconciliation in every way WE can.
In The Way,
Jody

    “Holy Ground” Exodus 3: 1-15
    Series: August 2014
    This week's sermon text is quite familiar to those who are aware of God's call upon Moses' life.
    However, let us consider the possibility that God not only sought out Moses; but, perhaps, Moses was also seeking God.
    And Moses found Him---on Holy Ground.

    As people of Christ, we are called to serve the world.  But if we don't also love ourselves then we have nothing to give.  This week's sermon examines how Jesus refueled himself so he could care for the world around him.  May we learn from his example.

    Recently, my eleven-year-old son Luke lamented his performance on the baseball field. "Dad, I prayed for God to help me get a hit, and I didn't.  WHY?" In this week's sermon, I reflect on the scripture text known by many as the Walk to Emmaus. In the spirit of my son Luke, here two friends of Jesus were grieved because things had not worked out as THEY had planned, either.  But even when it seems God has departed, He never leaves us or forsakes us.  He journeys with each of us, every step of the way, down our individual roads to Emmaus.

    "Peace be with you!"  Have you ever considered the graciousness of these words uttered by Jesus?  Just days prior,  his friends had deserted him when he needed them most; yet his first resurrection response was for their concern.  Consider with me in this sermon, the ways in which God to continues to amaze us with His grace.
