Today, we are reminded that our identity is in Christ. We welcome Jesus into our midst and invite the Kingdom of God to lay its claim upon us so that we may be prepared to be sent out into the world.

Sermons on Doubt
This week we ponder the great compassion Jesus has on those in need of physical healing.
This week we look at Jesus driving out people from the temple and what that might tell us about how we should relate to our religious systems and beliefs. We try to open ourselves to death and therefore resurrection.
We learn from this psalm about how God is both above us and in control and with us, suffering. We learn about a God who is enthroned in the heavens and can feel distant and the God who became a man to dwell with us.
This week we do a recap of what we have been learning so far in the book of Genesis and look at the story of Jacob’s ladder as God appears in an in-between place.
We take a brief detour into the Luke reading this week and find Jesus encouraging us to bring our experiences of injustice, our frustration, our pain to God in prayer. We are invited and instructed to assault God with our prayers. Will we do so? Or will we lose faith?
We talk about faith. What is faith? What does God ask of us in terms of faith? What does faith do in us?
Paul brings our attention to the resurrection of the dead, and we are reminded that our hope is not to “go to heaven” when we die, but to experience bodily resurrection, like Christ.
Jumping to 1 Corinthians 15, Paul brings our focus to the bodily death and resurrection of Jesus.
