Today, Pastor Marc reminded us that we cannot separate John 5:8 ("Pick up your mat and walk!") from John 5:14 ("Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."). The two verses represent different aspects of the same grace, and should be held together if they are going to be understood.

He is risen (past tense) and is still rising in us (present tense) every day! And that is "good news" indeed!!!

This past Sunday was the fourth lesson in our series on the gospel of Mark. Jesus calls us to participate in the things he is doing, even before we can understand them intellectually.

For week 2 of our series in the gospel of Mark, we considered how God's calling often shows up in our lives as a disruption of what we consider "normal," and what it means to follow His calling in grace.

When we meet Jesus in the gospels, he does not invite us to agree with a set of ideas, but to share in his life.

The Church is not the DESTINATION for God's activity. It is the VEHICLE for it.
