Luke 24:13-35 In the Gospel lesson for today, we find two disciples who move from confusion, fear, and uncertainty to being faithful followers who are able to engage in meaningful conversation about life, death, and resurrection of Christ. This is what discipleship looks like. Listen and download here:

John 20:19-31 A common theme of the past few weeks has been "death." there have been a couple of funerals connected with the Central family. And, of course, we reflected upon the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. But a greater theme during this Easter season (and a greater promise during all seasons) is resurrection. May we walk in faith and fear neither death nor the life that Jesus calls us to live. Listen and download here:
Mark 8:14-21 Who are you? And what stories make up the traditions and tales within your family? We all have things that shape us and make us who we are. But what if some of those histories, some of those beliefs, are wrong? What if they are slightly off, or maybe uninformed? Today we'll talk about the greatest story of all, and how believing it changes everything in our story. Listen and download here:
Ephesians 1:15-2:5 We continue the Jesus Creed: Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these. As we begin Holy Week together, we turn our attention to the final days of Jesus' earthly life. Listen and download here:
Matthew 5:38-48 Think about your "natural" response to pain, or sorrow, or disappointment, or anger. Now think about whether or not this is how you believe Jesus would have you to respond. Much of how God calls us to live is not "natural" to our human desires. That's why we need God's Spirit, and the super-natural grace to become new creations. Listen and download here:
Matthew 4:12-25 What is "good" about the "good news?" Salvation from our sins? Faith, hope, and love? What if the gospel was about all of this and more? What Jesus proclaimed is more than just nice. It's revolutionary. Listen and download here:
John 3:1-17 Many are familiar with the particularly Christian phrase, "You must be born again." But what does it mean? And is it a one-time event or the start of a story of growth and grace? Listen and download here:
Luke 17:20-21 Today we begin our Lenten series on "The Jesus Creed" by talking about the things Jesus talked about. And nothing was more central to his preaching than the Kingdom of God. But what is it? How do we live in it? Listen and download here:
Join us this Lenten season as we explore The Jesus Creed. The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love other people as yourself. Leviticus 19:2 Leviticus has one overall theme: be holy, as God is holy. As you walk this world, may you draw near to God in faith, may you surround yourself with persons who will pray for you and challenge you, and may you be salt and light to a world that needs extra doses of grace. Be holy. It's God's will for your life. Listen and download here:
