First Sunday of Lent

Seeking: Who will you listen to?

Matthew 4:1-11 | Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7

Seeking the fruit of the garden, Adam and Eve allow the snake’s manipulative voice to become louder than God’s voice. In the wilderness, Jesus defies the deception of the tempter by listening intuitively—to God, to his inner moral compass, to the teachings of his faith. And so, who will you listen to? What sources do you seek for news, information, and media? Whose voices—and what messages—take up too much space in your head? Within the onslaught of messaging we receive, we are invited to choose carefully.

The Senior Choir will be singing.

Last Sunday After Epiphany/Transfiguration Sunday

Today’s readings seem an exclamation point to Jesus’ teaching about God’s realm in the Sermon on the Mount. In a place of sacred mystery, the shining and shadow of Jesus’ transfiguration convey holy presence in the community of God’s people across time. In this place of silence and witness, Jesus’ followers catch a glimpse of God’s dazzling reign in Matthew 17: 1-9. Exodus 24:12–18 tells of Moses ascending Mount Sinai. God’s glory meets Moses in shadow and light.

Sixth Sunday after Epiphany

Jesus helps us take another look at some commandments to discover what is at the heart of the law – love of God and love of neighbor in Matthew 5: 21-37. God’s people are urged to choose to act in ways that are life-giving in Deuteronomy 30: 15-20 and I Corinthians 3: 1-9. As we work together to live into the vision of God’s reign, we can be assured that it is God who gives the growth.

Fifth Sunday after Epiphany

Jesus tells us that we are salt and light as we seek to live as God’s people in the world in Matthew 5: 13-20. With the Spirit’s help, we offer our gifts and talents to extend the reach of God’s realm. With Isaiah 58: 1-12, we learn what it means to “practice righteousness,” to restore beauty in community as we live out the heart of our faith.

The Senior Choir will be singing. This morning communion will be served to you while sitting in the pews.

Fourth Sunday after Epiphany

Today we begin a five-week exploration of a collection of Jesus’ sayings known as the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus’ radical vision of what God’s reign on earth might look like is a vision of wholeness for all people is found in Matthew 5: 1-12. Micah 6:1–8 describes a dramatic confrontation, a lawsuit between God and Israel. What must Israel do to be in a right relationship with God? Verse 8 summarizes: do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God.

The Senior Choir will be singing. Pastor Kirstin will be leading worship.

Third Sunday after Epiphany

The prophet Isaiah proclaims in Isaiah 9: 1-4, “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.” The exile is ending: joyful deliverance is coming. Jesus begins his ministry in Galilee in Matthew 4: 12-23 calling disciples to join him in his work, promising his disciples who were fishermen that he will now teach them to “fish for people.”

Second Sunday after Epiphany

Today we explore God’s call to us. Isaiah is called by God to proclaim the restoration of Israel in Isaiah 49: 1-7. Jesus calls disciples in John 1: 29-42. Through these accounts, we are invited to consider the ways that God’s call comes to us and discover the ways that God equips and strengthens us to live into this call.

Baptism of Christ Sunday

In this season after the Epiphany, the scriptures invite us to wonder about the unfolding possibilities that are opened to us through the revealing of God’s ways in Jesus the Christ. On this Baptism of Jesus Sunday, we hear God’s Spirit-filled voice speaking new things into action, reminding us that we are God’s beloved children.

The Gospel lesson from Matthew 3: 13-17 is the account of Jesus’ baptism. The voice from heaven that speaks at Jesus’ baptism echoes the voice spoken in Isaiah 42:1–9. These words proclaim the mission of God’s beloved servant to restore justice.
