Synopsis: When we think of Palm Sunday, we think of a triumphant parade, we think of people waving palms and shouting, “Hosanna, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” We think of Jesus riding on a colt. One part of this parade we don’t think about is that Jesus stopped the parade to weep. We’ll look at why Jesus wept and ask some questions of ourselves.

Synopsis: Today we examine Jesus’ discussion with Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council who is curious and trying hard to believe in Jesus’ teachings. Nicodemus confesses Jesus is from God, based on the signs He is performing. Jesus talks about a number of things with Nicodemus, including the need to be born again. We’ll look primarily at what it means to be born again in the sermon today.

Synopsis: Today we continue our journey through Lent, preparing to experience Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. Today we experience Jesus weeping over Jerusalem, sad that most of the Jewish leadership and Jewish people have rejected Him and His ministry. The passage begs us to ask the question, does our life lead to Jesus, the cross, and the Kingdom of God, or are we more established in the world?

Our passage today tells of Jesus explaining to the disciples how His kingdom on earth would come to be. This wasn’t the picture that the Jewish people had in mind when they pictured the coming Messiah. Peter, in haste and disbelief, pulls Jesus aside and starts to rebuke Jesus. Jesus then rebukes Peter and explains that his thoughts are earthly and not divine. Do we ever make that mistake, focusing on earthly things, and not divine things as Jesus stated to Peter?

We are reminded that God is always there, always present with us, in all circumstances. We’ll explore what God preparing a table in the presence of our enemies is all about. We are also reminded that in holding firm in our faith, we will dwell with God forever and ever.

Sunday, January 21st: Expectations

This may all look familiar, as we canceled service on the 14th:

Worship with us at Community Church this Sunday, January 21, 2024 at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Brett’s topic is “Expectations.” Our scriptures include Hosea 11:1-4, Matthew 2:1-12, and Matthew 2:13-23.

Synopsis: We enter each year with certain expectations and sometimes they become reality, but often we are taken down a different path. Certainly, that was the case for Joseph and Mary. No way did they expect to have a child and no way could they have foreseen a year or so before, their being sent now to Egypt to avoid Herod’s wrath. Hosea prophesied this would happen, but no one could see this little known, prophetic statement prior to the events surrounding Jesus’ birth and childhood. We will all face detours in life, the question is, how do we respond, who do we lean on when these detours occur?
