The Road to Emmaus

This Sunday as we gathered together on Zoom, Mark revisited the story of Jesus walking along the road to Emmaus with two disciples from Luke 24:13-35, from which our church community gets its name and “action words” (encounter, transform, send). As Mark says at most of our gatherings, “We are a community on a journey,” and we are all at different points in our own journeys as we journey together. This story which we revisit fairly often also has new meaning right now as we are all on a very different journey because of the current global situation, and really don’t know what may lie ahead.

Fishing and Feeding Sheep

This week we gathered together via Zoom again for the last section in our John sermon series. Mark spoke on John 21 in which Jesus told his disciples where to fish, makes breakfast for his disciples, and teaches Peter a lesson about love and leadership.

The Risen Christ

This year for Easter we gathered online using Zoom to celebrate the risen Christ. In our second to last week of our John series, Mark spoke on John chapter 20, where we see differing reactions as Jesus appeared to Mary and his disciples.

Prayer for Unity

This week we gathered together via Zoom again, and Mark spoke on John 17:20-23 in which Jesus prays for unity for his current and future followers. In this age of polarization, the idea of unity is ever so important, and Mark reminded us that because of the things that are happening now, the petty things we disagree about pretty irrelevant or are no longer an issue.

I Am the Vine, You Are the Branches

This week we gathered together via Zoom again, during which Mark spoke on John 15:1-17 in which Jesus tells his disciples “I am the vine, you are the branches.” We hear how we are able to produce fruit if we are connected to Jesus .

I Am Jesus! Do Not Be Afraid!

This week we gathered together via Zoom, during which Mark spoke on the account of Jesus walking on water from John 6:16-21. It turns out to be a very timely story that we can relate to as we go through this storm that has overtaken the whole world, but we can take comfort in knowing that Jesus is with is even in this storm.

I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life

This week the world kind of went into shut-down mode, so we ended up having church online via video chat with those of us who were able to meet up last Sunday at 10am. We were able to record a short message that Mark gave over video, and spoke on John 14 in which Jesus gave his disciples a message that is also very timely to us now because of what is currently happening. The audio quality is not the greatest, and the end of the prayer did get cut off, but we still wanted to share a message of hope in this time of great uncertainty!

I Am the Resurrection and the Life

We are working through a new sermon series entitled “Jesus—I AM” in which we study through the Gospel of John looking at the seven “I am” statements.

I Am the Good Shepherd

We are working through a new sermon series entitled “Jesus—I AM” in which we study through the Gospel of John looking at the seven “I am” statements.

A Man Born Blind

I Am the Bread of Life

We have started a new sermon series entitled “Jesus—I AM” in which we study through the Gospel of John looking at the seven “I am” statements.
