    Following Jesus' atoning death and triumphal resurrection, the final chapter in the emergence of God’s Kingdom began Easter afternoon and continues until Christ's return. Its heart is Holy Spirit-empowered proclamation of repentance in Jesus’ name to the ends of the earth. Like Eden's garden and Old Testament Israel, today's Church is where God's laws are established, where His presence is known, where the heavenly realities of love and forgiveness and salvation are experienced. We welcome to our pulpit this Sunday, Lee DeYoung who brings us this week's message as an extension of Pastor Mark's Lenten series "The Darkness Before the Dawn" and Easter's jubilant culmination "Dawn Has Come."

    The Darkness is closing in on Jesus. Everyone seems to be against him. The Religious Leaders of His own people, The Roman Government represented by Pilate, Herod, and even the Crowds gathered for Passover. But in the midst of all that, Jesus is at peace! In fact, in our scripture reading (Luke 23:1-25) Jesus only speaks four words. Jesus is a non-anxious presence in the middle of a tightening noose of darkness. How? And what can we learn for our lives today.

    How’s your prayer life? Have you ever prayed to God and received silence? Sometimes it seems like God isn’t listening. In those moments or even seasons, it can feel like the darkness is closing in and becoming heavier and heavier. Yet God is always with us, and God hears every prayer. In those moments Jesus set the example for us with His “Garden Prayer,” even as He told His disciples to pray so they wouldn’t fall into temptation. Our Heavenly Father loves us all the time, even when we fail and don’t understand what He is doing. Join us this Sunday as we go with Jesus into the darkness of Gethsemane.

    Reflecting The Way

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 18, 2021 28:26


    Message by Pastor Mark. When we become a Christian and receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we gain eternal life and The Holy Spirit who directs our path along the Way as we follow Jesus. But that means we give up our own way. That doesn’t mean we lose our uniqueness. But it does mean that Uniqueness reflects Jesus in everything we say and do. When you look at the Moon on a clear summer’s night, it’s obvious that the Moon is unique and different than the earth or the Sun. But the Moon as unique and beautiful as it is, doesn’t shine its own light, it reflects the light of the Sun. And we as Christians, must reflect the light of the SON, as well. Colossians 1 15 - 20

    Message by Pastor Mark. What do you call our gathering at the Lord's Table? Scripture makes minority references like: "Love Feast", "The Lord's Table" and "The Breaking of the Bread". But The Church has landed on three main names for our celebration at the table. As we partake in this celebration together we will discover just how our names for this table meal reflect what happens when we partake. I Corinthians 11:23-26

    Message by Pastor Mark. Shepherds were not on the top rung of the social ladder in Jesus' Day. In fact, they were pretty much at the bottom of the heap. So, why does God choose to announce the birth of His Son to them ahead of all others? Could it be that in the Birth of Jesus, God was redefining our understanding of what’s important and who’s included on His royal guest list? Jesus later will say, “The first will be last and the last first.”

    Christmas is a glorious time of celebration. We remember the birth of our savior and we celebrate family and the practice of gift-giving. But sometimes our plans change. Sometimes things happen like a pandemic that changes everything. But sometimes God’s will changes everything and we lose sight of the glory of Christmas under the weight of the expectations of Christmas. In these moments we need to recognize, like Mary, that God is the one who carries us through the weight of the season to the Glory of His Son. Luke 1:26-45, 56

You know, actually, step into the shoes of the very characters we’ve come to know and love who make up the story of Christmas. If you really take a moment, close your eyes and imagine the scene, the landscape, the history, the culture, the sounds and the smells I wonder if you would start to sense and see something new, something fresh in this most beloved of all stories. The events of the Christmas story took place in real-time, to real people, with real lives and it changed them in very real ways. Luke 1:5-25

    Message by Pastor Cam. The Christian life is radically self-refusing and radically Christ-exalting. This is the hardest and most rewarding part of the Christian life.

Where do we turn when our deepest sins are umasked in front of us? To be a faithful steward of God’s revelation, the prayer "Search Me" must be followed by the prayer “Shape Me.” Something is always shaping us - let it be Jesus. 1 Timothy 6:11-16

    Message by Pastor Mark. Is the goal of the Christian life safety? Well, eternal safety, for sure. But what about our life here on earth. Is God’s goal for us as Christians to keep us safe from all danger? If you listened to our prayers you might think that’s the only goal. Maybe we should be praying something a bit more dangerous, a bit more revealing about the condition of our hearts. Psalm 139:23-24

    Message by Pastor Mark. Judas (Iscariot) was given every opportunity to be shaped for greatness. Instead, he squandered the opportunity that Jesus laid before him and sold his soul to the Devil. He gave up everything to follow Jesus but never gave him his heart. He was more interested in his own goals and ambition than with Jesus' transformation. The Last Supper was his Last Chance and a tiny little shift in his response to Jesus would have made a seismic shift in his life and eternity.

    Message by Pastor Mark. We know a lot about the Apostle John, mostly from his own writings. Aside from Paul and Luke, John wrote more of the New Testament than anyone else (guided of course by the Holy Spirit). John wrote his gospel, I. II. III John, and the book of Revelation. From his writings many gave him the nickname, “The Apostle of Love” because he spoke more of the importance of Love than any other New Testament writer. However, it wasn’t always that way. He and his brother were first called “Son’s of Thunder” by Jesus for good reason.
