He is the King of kings.

A King who turns the world upside down.

The Rock

What do you love?  Your money? Your stuff?

Or God and your neighbors?

Choose wisely.

Good Fruit

Luke 9:51-62 and Galatians 5:22-23

The disciples were mad.

They had the power to prove it.

"Should we send down fire and consume them?"

Jesus rebuked them.

They will know we are Christians by our love.

God's Way

Suffering? Death? Taking up crosses?

Not what Peter wanted to hear.

A rainbow, a stone and a cross.  

Signs of covenant.

Signs of God's steadfast love.

Living Stones

Earthly rulers have castles and palaces.

God's house is the Church.

God's people are the building blocks.

Justified

Luke 18:9-14

Two men went to the temple to pray.

Only one went away justified.

Talk to God

Matthew 6:5-15

Hotspot not required.

We can talk to God anywhere, anytime.

Here are a few conversation starters.

No Fear

When we live in fear, we hide our gifts.

When we life in faith, we use our gifts for God's glory.

Do your best, let God do the rest.

Four Ps

Colossians is a letter written by Paul to the early church.

He prays that the church may live a life worthy of the Lord.

Four Ps help us understand what that life might look like.

Time Travel

Christ has died.  Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

Every time we open our Bibles, we do a little time travel.

The lectionary is a good road map for the journey.

Lost and Found

Jesus changed.

Transfiguration.

Vine and Branches

John 15:1-8

God is the gardener.

Jesus is the true vine.

What are we?

We are the branches!

Seeing Red

Romans 3:19-28

Martin Luther is one of the people we remember 

on Reformation Day.  

Red is the color of the day and it also

helps us understand what Martin Luther taught us.

Sweet Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a gift we have received.

Please share freely.

"Forgive us our trespasses, 

as we forgive those who trespass against us."

Look Up

Matthew 5:21-37
