Thu, 20 April 2006 Biblical Text: Mark 16:7 Jesus is:
This provides a framework for thinking of our lives. There is both comfort and challenge here. Because of the Resurrection, there are new possibilities. We often find them wrapped in what we have already known.

Sun, 16 April 2006 Happy Easter! Biblical Text: Mark 16:1-8 I also reference Mark 15:47 and Mark 15:40-41. For Mark Strand's comment on reading a poem, go to the Writer's Almanac for April 11, 2006 at http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/programs/2006/04/10/index.html For the Gerard Manley Hopkins poem I am reading today, "That Nature Is a Heraclitean Fire and of the Comfort of the Resurrection" go to http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/books/excerpts.php?id=15492 The women at the empty tomb were alarmed and amazed because their world view was suddenly altered. The young man sitting there told them Jesus was going on to Galilee ahead of them. What does it mean for my life, for your life, if we believe Jesus is going on ahead of us? Where will we go? What will we do? Who will we tell the story to and with whom will we eat? Running Time: 22:06 Size: 20.2 MB Comments[0] |
Fri, 14 April 2006 Here's my message for the Tenebrae, Good Friday, worship. Tenebrae means shadows or darkness. The Passion story is read. As the story progresses, the worship space becomes darker and darker until the worshipers are in complete darkness for the reading concerning Jesus' death and burial. Biblical Texts: Psalm 22 and Mark 14-15 The shadows are all around us. They were all around Jesus, too. Jesus persevered to carry out God's will for his life. With God's help, we, too, can carry out God's purpose for our lives despite the shadows pressing in on us. We can bring light to others and dispell their shadows.

Mon, 3 April 2006 Text: Mark 6:30-46
1. Ministry is public.
2. In the story “Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand,� we have the shape of our worship service with Communion.
3.1 Jesus’ feeding of the five thousand is like Israel in the desert when God provided their food.
3.2 Eating this meal gathered around Jesus reminds us of when God gathered the people at Mt. Sinai.
4. The Church’s Meal is a dress rehearsal for the End Time Banquet.
5. After the Meal, Jesus sends you out into the world.
As Church, capital C, we are the Community, capital C, gathered around Jesus. Jesus feeds us with the Word, capital W, and with the Meal, capital M.
