True Power: Love That Absorbs


March 24, 2024

Scripture: Luke 22:31-46

The death of Jesus on the cross is a universe transforming event. Jesus stated that at the heart of discipleship is death to self. When we consider the true power of Jesus, the power of what he does in his death on the cross is so important. On the cross, the power of love absorbs all the brokenness in the world and makes a way for us to walk forward in new life. Today we consider what Good Friday has to do with this journey and our day to day faith.

True Power: What Life Gives Glory?


March 17, 2024

Scripture: John 12:20-33

We find a call from Jesus today that we have already heard this Lent. This time worded differently and in a different context of Jesus’s ministry from John 12:20-33. “Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” Let’s make some space to consider what Jesus is calling us to and continue to walk this Lenten journey together.

True Power: Only Christ Makes It Right By Turning It Upside Down


March 10, 2024

Scripture: John 3:14-21

It would be easy to understand how a Holy God could get very upset with the people who have ignored the ways he has called us to live. Yet when God came to creation, not only did Jesus Christ not bring judgment, but he allowed humans to inflict punishment on him. This is the true power of love that has flipped the universe upside down. As we look to hear from the Lord in John 3:14-21, we turn our hearts to the one that allowed them to break his body on our behalf. May we worship with gratitude.

True Power: Doing What Is Difficult


March 3, 2024

Scripture: Mark 8:31-38

In our Lenten journey that we know leads to the cross we must always be honest about our hesitancy to do the right thing when it is the hard thing to do. Mark 8:31-38 is our guide today and we see Peter, who has acknowledged that Jesus is the Messiah and yet doesn’t want to let Jesus define what that means. In this interaction between Peter and Jesus, we see a struggle with the road that is ahead. How do we learn to lean into God’s grace when the path before us is going to be difficult?
