We’re diving back into Mark this Lent. In this first sermon of Mark Part 2, we looked at the feeding of the five thousand and reflected on what it means to participate in the kingdom of God with what we’ve got to share right now.

We are picking up the conversation we started last year in 1st Corinthians. This year we look at the second half of the letter, which considers Christian community through the metaphor of a body. Read all of 1 Cor 12 for context.

This week we wrap up the Picking Up and Letting Go series by looking at another Epiphany text and reflecting on ways that picking up looked like for Jesus and what we can pick up in the new year.

We’re kicking off the new year with a short string on Picking up and Letting Go. This week, we’re reflecting on letting go in order to make room for things we need to pick up in the new year.

We wrapped up the series by looking how the stories of healing in Mark encourage us to seek and offer grace to those far and near in our lives.

This week we join the disciples in the storm to reflect on our experience of meeting the divine in the moments that rock our world.

This week we look at four parables in Mark 4 and again interpret them in their connectedness. The main point was that truth is being sown in our lives even now, and we need to explore how we hear it, where we make room for mystery of the divine in our lives and how open we are to give ourselves over to the way of things and see the kingdom in the things and life cycles around us.
