Today we learn that our well being and that of our neighbor is more interconnected than we realize. We are called to forgive, to love, to share with one another giving ourselves over wholly to the way of Christ.

Sermons on Suffering
Jesus comes to nourish us with a food that gives us strength for the journey. His flesh is true food and his blood, true drink. We are invited to journey with Him and into Him becoming the Body of Christ.
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.
This week we ponder the great compassion Jesus has on those in need of physical healing.
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 look at a foundational passage for all of Israel, the institution of the Passover meal. We learn more about the uncontrollable, all powerful God through the story of the plagues and what it means to follow such a God.
This week we continue looking at the story of Joseph as we finish are time in Genesis. We look to God’s goodness redeeming and turning what was evil for good.
This week we return to Genesis and the story of Jacob. This week focuses on Jacob’s encounter with a mysterious man whom he wrestles for a blessing. We learn about Jacob’s renaming to Israel and how that name shapes the identity of the Israelites.
We keep it simple and look at three ways to respond to this remarkable reading, a hymn of the ancient church, today: We are to contemplate what Christ has done, become a people who witness what Christ has done, and learn to live what Christ has done.
