If Jesus didn’t come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it, then why did he keep getting in trouble for ‘breaking the law’. As we continue our new Centering on Jesus Series, Pastor John invites us to consider the heart of the law versus the letter of the law and the invitation of God for us to worship Him.
March Big Table Sunday | Devotional Readings, Worship and Communion
Listen along as our congregation celebrated March Big Table Sunday a bit different than usual. Rather than interviews and sharing, we took the whole service to linger in the presence of the Lord and worshipped God through scriptural devotional readings, congregational prayers, singing and taking communion together.
The three devotional thoughts read as part of the service were written by Walter Wangerin Jr. from his book Reliving the Passion: Meditations on the Suffering, Death, and the Resurrection of Jesus as Recorded in Mark.
"Worship and Sacred Space" by Randi Nelson
Listen along as Randi continues a discussion around the little foxes that can damage the vineyards of our lives. This message challenges us to look at the little things that can get in the way of creating sacred space for the purpose of worship to God.
"Celebrating The Sacred Among the Secular" by Dusty Johnson
Listen along to Pastor Dusty as he shares a very personal exhortation with regard to finding divine moments among the seemingly common experiences in our lives. So often we can compartmentalize our sacred and secular experiences, yet Jesus is the sacred that came right to
the center of the secular. He is the embodiment of divinity that is wrapped in humanity that we can identify with. Our worship is less about religious form and more about consecration -- making room for more of His presence.
