Word Made Flesh

Written by Faith2014 on .

This week we are in the gospel of John, discussing how God is coming into the world to physically be with the people. But it can be difficult sometimes to see where God is with the people and also where God is with us. What does it look like to see God among us and for God to be with us? Listen as Intern Pastor Jennie explores where and how we can see God here with us.

Accompanying Scripture:
Psalm 130:5-8, John 1:1-18

Word Accomplishes God’s Purpose

Written by Faith2014 on .

Many of us had expected, or at the very least hoped, this holiday season would be more normal. Instead, we’re worried about another variant of covid and thinking through more precautions – experiencing once again a holiday season with further complications. Listen as Pastor Kate considers God’s promises in an unexpected situation, when hope and expectations were dashed and the world was not as people thought it should be.

Accompanying Scripture:
Isaiah 55:1-13, John 4:13-14

Ezekiel: Valley of Dry Bones

Written by Faith2014 on . Posted in Uncategorized.

This week, we hear from Ezekiel about an experience a prophet has about prophesying to bring dry bones to life. It seems fantastical and hard to imagine. What does it look like to find life among things that seem lifeless and dry? Listen as Intern Pastor Jennie explores how to find life among death and hard times.

Accompanying Scripture:
Ezekiel 37:1-14, John 11:25-26

This week we hear from Jeremiah as the people are in Babylon, where God tells them to live their lives there in their new home. Their life in Israel isn’t the same, and they should continue in their life in Babylon. Listen as Pastor Kate explores what it looks like to live life in a new way.

Accompanying Scripture:
Jeremiah 29:1, 4-14, John 14:27

Amos: Justice Rolls Down

Written by Faith2014 on .

Do as I say, not as I do. How many of us have heard this line from either parents or others as they try to coax us into doing something they aren’t? And when we hear it, it can sound disingenuous – like why wouldn’t you be doing this if it’s what should be done? This week we hear God’s call to the people to do as they say, that is to not only worship God with their lips and sacrifices, but then to worship by creating justice in the rest of their lives. Listen as Pastor Kate explores how this is also God’s call in our lives – to do as we say when we pray for peace and justice.

Accompanying Scripture:
Amos 1:1-2; 5:14-15, 21-24, John 7: 37-38

God Calls David

Written by Faith2014 on .

Sometimes it’s easier to look back and wish for what once was – back where things were more certain. But there comes a time that the unknown is the only thing for us. In this Sunday’s text in 1 Samuel, we hear about Samuel anointing David as God’s chosen and how Samuel stepped into the unknown that laid ahead. Listen as Intern Pastor Jennie explores when it’s time to step into unknown times.

Accompanying Scripture:
1 Samuel 16:1-13, Psalm 51:10-14

God Calls Samuel

Written by Faith2014 on .

How many times have you wished for God to speak so clearly you can hear exactly what’s being said? Many of us have wished for that, and yet perhaps God has and we just haven’t been able to discern it is God. In this Sunday’s text from 1 Samuel, we hear the story of God’s call to Samuel. Samuel clearly hears God and mistakes the voice for that of his mentor, Eli. Listen as Pastor Kate explores how God is still speaking to us and if we are mistaken about whose voice it is.

Accompanying Scripture:
Samuel 3:1-21, John 20:21-23

God Provides Manna

Written by Faith2014 on .

This week we hear about the Israelites walking through the wilderness after they are freed from Egypt. We see the Israelites complain about not having food or knowing where it would come from. But God provides quail and manna for everyone to be filled. This is more than a story about food – it’s about trust in God to provide when we don’t know what to expect. Listen as guest preacher Rev. Ron Zschoche considers what it means to trust God to provide when we don’t know the details.

Accompanying Scripture:
Exodus 16:1-18, John 6:51
