Part 3 | Blessed are the poor in spirit (Matthew 5.3)
Words can create what they announce. Whether it's a judge in a courtroom, an umpire on a baseball diamond, or an ordained minister at a wedding, words can change things. This is a helpful way to understand the blessings pronounced by Jesus at the beginning of his greatest teaching. Between now and Advent we will slowly work through what we know as the Beatitudes.

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" "Read my lips, no new taxes." "It's the economy, stupid!" "Yes, we can!" It's easy for us to recall certain phrases from certain U.S. Presidents. Likewise, Jesus intends his followers to remember phrases that characterize life in the kingdom of heaven. Please join us for the second message in our Sermon on Mount series, Formed as Followers.

Part 7c: "We" Gospel Words (2 Timothy 2.11-13)
"The saying is sure." This description is Paul's clue that these words are worthy of repetition, to be spoken aloud by the congregation, and to be regarded as a slogan that chaperones our faithfulness to the Gospel of King Jesus. Join us as we unpack and apply one of these five sure sayings.

How will we remember? A Sermon Twenty Years after September 11, 2001 | 2 Corinthians 5.11-15
A kind of remembering that fuels a desire for retaliation, is not compatible with the way of Jesus. We need a better way to remember. We need to remember rightly. A Christian memory of 9/11 is seen through the lens of the cross and empty tomb of Christ. In Jesus, we worship the God who took the evil, sin, violence, and pain of the world into the very flesh of Christ and died (Derek Vreeland). Please join us as God's word challenges us to submit our remembering to the way of Jesus.
