“Covenant: A Lenten Sermon Series” Part 1: “Flood Waters”
This is the 1st Sunday in Lent. Over this and the neat few Sunday’s, we hope you enjoy this Lenten Series. For this virtual service,please bring a bowl of water to the sacred space to fully experience and enjoythis worship service. As this is the First Sunday in Lent. The bowl will need to be large enough to dip your hand into for a moment. You may also want to have a small towel nearby, but that is not critical.
In case you missed the point
LAST week, it’ll be made here
again this week. This is the way
of Mark’s gospel…time and time again he makes it clear that there will be gaps in our
thinking…there will be mystery that will remain so. I mean who can REALLY know what Jesus is about…especially when some are healed, and some aren’t. We have to leave much to the divine distance between our free God
and who is independent from us and our desires.
Mark 1:40-55
We have to be comfortable not knowing why Jesus makes some of the choices he does…with the gaps between the ages, between our thinking and stories of the Bible. After, all what’s most important is NOT to have all the answers, but to have Jesus, Jesus in all of his life-giving presence.
Today is the 4th Sunday of Advent. Listen to Pastor Bob declare the Word and we continue to wait for the birth of our Lord.
I have some very good news! Between last week’s sermon and this week’s sermon, God’s word of judgement has been fulfilled. This is kind of a parallel with what we are going through in this day and age with the pandemic. We are dealing with a lot of hardships but in reading the book of Isaiah, it is obvious to us that good things are to come.
Congratulations Carter, Gabby, and John on becoming members!!
