Friends, let's pause and reflect on this powerful quote about Jesus from this week's guest, The Rev. Matt Fitzgerald of St. Pauls United Church of Christ in Chicago:

"One of the most beautiful things about Jesus is that he cannot be contained. One of the most difficult things about Jesus is that he cannot be contained. One of the most alarming things about Jesus is that he will not be contained... ...not by the grave, not by our assumptions, and certainly not by the confines of our minds."

For a deeper dive into this transformative perspective, check out this week's episode on your local radio station this Sunday, or right now on our podcast, or streaming on our website at the link below:

This week on Day1, Rev. Matt Fitzgerald of St. Pauls United Church of Christ, invites us to delve into the complexities of Mark 7:24-37 with his sermon, "We Are Poor Indeed If We Are Only Sane."

In his message, Rev. Fitzgerald explores moment when Jesus steps beyond conventional boundaries, revealing a divine love that is both unsettling and transformative. How do we, as leaders and educators, engage with a God who challenges our certainties.

This sermon offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the unpredictability of grace, the nature of divine humility, and the expansive possibilities that arise when we embrace the uncertainties of faith.

📅 Join us on Day1 this Sunday as we listen to Rev. Fitzgerald’s thoughtful exploration, and his interview with our host Rev. Dr. Katie Givens Kime. We think this message will resonate deeply with those who guide others on their spiritual journeys and who are called to continually expand their own understanding of the divine.

This Sunday on Day1, you won't want to miss Rev. Scott Hoezee's eye-opening sermon "Real Food"!

In his message, Rev. Hoezee challenges us with this powerful truth:

"Most weeks when we come to church and when we take to ourselves the bread and the wine of the Holy Supper, our thoughts are far too small. We cannot exaggerate what we're getting through that meal."

Communion is so much more than a routine ritual. As Rev. Hoezee unpacks Jesus' radical teachings in John 6, he reminds us that partaking in the Eucharist connects us to the very heartbeat of the Triune God - offering a "slice of eternal life" that nourishes our souls in ways we can barely comprehend.

Don't settle for a small view of communion this Sunday. Tune in to Day1 to let Rev. Hoezee expand your understanding of this profound mystery. The episode is already available online, so you can listen ahead of time, here: https://day1.org/weekly-broadcast/66b0c28a6615fbfe740000b1/real-food-rev-scott-hoezee-john-6-51-58

Make sure to catch "Real Food" this weekend, and come ready to approach the Lord's Supper with fresh eyes and an open heart. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Tune in this week as Day1 welcomes back Rev. Scott Hoezee of Calvin Theological Seminary, whose sermon "Real Food" unpacks the deep mysteries and powerful truths in Jesus' words from John 6:51-58.

Rev. Hoezee explores how Jesus intentionally used provocative language to challenge his listeners and reveal the life-changing reality of partaking in the Eucharist. Jesus wanted to stretch people's understanding of this simple ritual, to show them that partaking in the bread and wine connects us to the very heartbeat of God. It's a "slice of eternal life" - an intimate union with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit that nourishes our souls. We think this sermon might change the way you approach not only communion, but your whole walk with Christ.
