Isaiah 43:16-21This is what God says, the God who builds a road right through the ocean, who carves a path through pounding waves,The God who summons horses and chariots and armies— they lie down and then can't get up; they're snuffed out like so many candles:“Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history.Be alert, be present.

“When you are praying to Jesus you are praying to someone who understands you because he is human and has experienced all things."What difference does it make to know that Jesus understands your suffering?//Matthew 21:1-11When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, just say this, ‘The Lord needs them.' And he will send them immediately.” This took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, saying,“Tell the daughter of Zion,Look, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting,“Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!Hosanna in the highest heaven!”When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, “Who is this?” The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”//This episode was written and recorded by Rev.

Isaiah 50:4-9The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher,that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word.Morning by morning he wakens— wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught.The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward.I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard;I did not hide my face from insult and spitting.The Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced;therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he who vindicates me is near.Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together.Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me.It is the Lord God who helps me; who will declare me guilty?All of them will wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them up.//This episode was written and recorded by Phil Salmon.

“Like a grain of wheat falls into a compost pile, Jesus falls into the earth. The damp and still and timeless earth. The quiet earth, accept for the faint percussion of the blind critters who tiptoe over the beads of transforming matter.”When was the last time you really noticed the natural world around you?//John 12:20-33Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.“Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say—‘Father, save me from this hour'? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.//This episode was written and recorded by Farley Lord, Riverside's former Minister of Stewardship & Development.

"Black forgiveness is a continuation of the use of religion to console white fear, to ease white guilt, to atone for white sins, to coddle white fragility.

"The cross on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday is not a victory mark. It is a cold and it's a broken hallelujah. Because ours is a faith that resists triumphalism, resists any attempt to downplay or spiritualize suffering. Our hallelujahs and our hope are always rooted in the truth of suffering, not its erasure. And this is good news, that we are not part of a victory march. We are part of a beloved community, arm in arm, praying, loving, serving, rejoicing, weeping, forgiving, seeking justice, helping each other walk the mile and bear the load on our group walk to Golgotha and into new life."How have you experienced a cold and broken hallelujah in your life?//Joel 2:12-13Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart,with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;rend your hearts and not your clothing.Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful,slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing.//This episode was written and recorded by Rev.

“Our first temptation is to look at what new thing God is doing now rather than to look hard at the history, both ancient and contemporary, to face down the evil which we might not have created but from which we certainly benefit.”In your opinion, what is the evil that needs to be faced down from our ancient and contemporary history?//Isaiah 43:16-21Thus says the Lord,who makes a way in the sea,a path in the mighty waters,who brings out chariot and horse,army and warrior;they lie down, they cannot rise,they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:Do not remember the former things,or consider the things of old.I am about to do a new thing;now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?I will make a way in the wildernessand rivers in the desert.The wild animals will honor me,the jackals and the ostriches;for I give water in the wilderness,rivers in the desert,to give drink to my chosen people,the people whom I formed for myselfso that they might declare my praise.//This episode was written and recorded by Rev.

“We are called to live in the house of God and the house of God is among those who are suffering.”Who are you praying for? And with whom are you praying?//Psalm 27The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh—my adversaries and foes— they shall stumble and fall.Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear;though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident.One thing I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after:to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble;he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock.Now my head is lifted up above my enemies all around me,and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;I will sing and make melody to the Lord.Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me!“Come,” my heart says, “seek his face!” Your face, Lord, do I seek. Do not hide your face from me.Do not turn your servant away in anger, you who have been my help.Do not cast me off, do not forsake me, O God of my salvation!If my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up.Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen against me, and they are breathing out violence.I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!//This episode was written and recorded by Cláudio Carvalhaes.

"It's time for a radical hope, a belief, a faith, even, that it doesn't have to be this way.  Hope for something more. Hope that all will eat and be satisfied. For this good God is working mightily, laboring, birthing, working that we, a people yet unborn may truly know abundant life."In your own words, how would you define radical hope?//Psalm 22:23-31You who fear the Lord, praise God!    All you offspring of Jacob, glorify God;    stand in awe of God, all you offspring of Israel!For God did not despise or abhor    the affliction of the afflicted;God did not hide God's face from me,    but heard when I cried to God.From you comes my praise in the great congregation;    my vows I will pay before those who fear God.The poor shall eat and be satisfied;    those who seek God shall praise the Lord.    May your hearts live forever!All the ends of the earth shall remember    and turn to the Lord;and all the families of the nations    shall worship before God.For dominion belongs to the Lord,    and God rules over the nations.To God, indeed, shall all who sleep in the earth bow down;    before God shall bow all who go down to the dust,    and I shall live for God.Posterity will serve God;    future generations will be told about the Lord,and proclaim God's deliverance to a people yet unborn,    saying that God has done it.//This episode was written and recorded by Emily Jones, the Executive for Racial Justice at United Methodist Women.

"We often talk about “killing” time or “wasting” time, as if time is an enemy rather than a friend, a curse rather than a blessing. Lent invites us to reclaim time as a gift—a gift to enjoy, to use wisely, and to share. Especially in this period of time’s disruption and distortions, Lent helps to ground us in our timeless faith. Thanks be to our good and gracious God, who never loses track of us."What is your relationship with time?//This episode was written and recorded by Rev.

May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works—who looks on the earth and she trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke.I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.May my meditation be pleasing to God, for I rejoice in the Lord.Let sinners be consumed from the earth, and let the wicked be no more.Bless the Lord, O my soul.Praise the Lord!//This episode was written and recorded by Amanda Meisenheimer, the Minister of Children & Families at The Riverside Church.

“May John the Baptist and so many others prepare the way for Jesus’ coming."Who has pointed you towards Jesus lately?//Mark 1:1-8The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.As it is written in the prophet Isaiah,“See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way;the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,’”John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. He proclaimed, “The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”//This episode was written and recorded by Rev.

“If we truly believe that God’s forgives is expansive then we should believe that the eye of the needle is much wider than we can imagine.”How have you experienced God’s expansive forgiveness? How can you share this expansive forgiveness with others?//2 Peter 3:8-15But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed.Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, what sort of persons ought you to be in leading lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set ablaze and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire? But, in accordance with his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.Therefore, beloved, while you are waiting for these things, strive to be found by him at peace, without spot or blemish; and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him.//This episode was written and recorded by Victoria Anderson, a member of The Riverside Church. It was produced by Rev.

"Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.” -Mother TheresaWho can you help today?//Isaiah 40:1-11Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God.Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to herthat she has served her term, that her penalty is paid,that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.A voice cries out:“In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low;the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain.Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”A voice says, “Cry out!” And I said, “What shall I cry?”All people are grass, their constancy is like the flower of the field.The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass.The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good tidings;lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings, lift it up, do not fear;say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!”See, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him;his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms,and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead the mother sheep.//This episode was written and recorded by Rev.

"To keep alert and to pay attention is our call to be aware of one another and what is going on in the greater world."What are you keeping alert and paying attention to in the world around us?//Mark 13:24-37“But in those days, after that suffering,the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.Then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in clouds’ with great power and glory. Then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.“From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.“But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch. Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn, or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly. And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.”//This episode was written and recorded by Sarah Stonesifer-Boylan. It was produced by Rev. Jim Keat.

"We must be the ones tearing through all of the fences, gates, and walls that separate our world from the compassionate, justice seeking, radically inclusive Christ-child we will soon find in a manger."What obstacles do you see in our world that separate people from this compassion, justice, and inclusivity?//Isaiah 64:1-9O that you would tear open the heavens and come down, so that the mountains would quake at your presence—as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil—to make your name known to your adversaries, so that the nations might tremble at your presence!When you did awesome deeds that we did not expect, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.From ages past no one has heard, no ear has perceived,no eye has seen any God besides you, who works for those who wait for him.You meet those who gladly do right, those who remember you in your ways.But you were angry, and we sinned; because you hid yourself we transgressed.We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy cloth.We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.There is no one who calls on your name, or attempts to take hold of you;for you have hidden your face from us, and have delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.Yet, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.Do not be exceedingly angry, O Lord, and do not remember iniquity forever.
