Calming the Storm in the Galilee
Mark 4:35-41
We have all faced storms in our lives. Sometimes they are of our own making, and other times we just seem to find ourselves in the middle of circumstances we had nothing to do with. Today, we recall that Jesus had the power to simply halt the storms that seem to bombard us at times. But are we willing to humble ourselves and call upon Jesus when our way becomes troubled?

    Wellness Check in Capernaum
    Mark 1:21-32
    After Jesus time in the wilderness, he retreated to Capernaum, where the bulk of his very public and controversial ministry took place. It is interesting that so much of what he did took place among the poor and disadvantaged. And we find that as people witnessed his power, they constantly brought others to him. Do we do the same today? Do we even feel as if we can? Is this what it means to follow the Way?

    Following Jesus is our primary vocation. At our baptism, we are called to follow Jesus. That call extends to people of all walks of life. Considering different cultures and expressions around the world, it is our baptism that we hold in common. How then do we live that out throughout the world?

    Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

    Christmas is about Transformation
    Romans 16: 25-27 
    It has been said that we are incapable of love if we haven’t first loved ourselves, or if we have never experienced acts of love and kindness ourselves. Many have turned to destructive means in order to feel a sense of worth. But as Christians, we celebrate what it means to be loved in the most extreme ways possible, and are invited to share that with others!

    Christmas is about Redemption
    1 Thessalonians 5:16-24
    As a child, I remember trying my very best to be good, use my manners, and be grateful for what I had…in order ultimately to get more on Christmas morning! But at Christmas, we remember that it is the coming of the Messiah that, due to no action on our part, that defines this season. Our response then is what we do with that.

    Christmas is about A Wonderful Life
    Malachi 3:1-4 
    Have you ever wished and prepared for something to happen only to be so preoccupied with other things that you missed the event altogether? It appears that for many, the vision of what God would do in the future was lost on people who became so focused on the things around them, they failed to pay attention to the work God was doing among them.

    The Supremacy of the King
    Colossians 1:15-20
    It never hurts to examine those whom we follow. While we might never fully “measure up” in the eyes of everyone, we know we follow the One who is completely worthy of our worship and praise. Christ the King Sunday recognizes the full sovereignty of Jesus, and refocuses our admiration and awe!

    The Example of the King
    2 Thessalonians 3:6-13
    Regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in, perseverance is an attribute that accompanies our faith and discipleship. We see that exemplified in the life of Jesus, and the apostles who followed him. Likewise, we are to be models of such faith in all areas of our lives.

    The Love of the King
    John 11:32-44 
    We celebrate the example and influence of those that have gone to glory ahead of us. We acknowledge our sense of loss, and the spaces in our lives left by those we loved so dearly. Yet, in faith, we affirm and understand that death is not the end of the story…rather the beginning of the best part!

    Constant Experimentation
    Mark 6:6-13
    A pillar of our faith is our service to one another and the world. Education, healthcare, and even many of the extracurricular activities many of us participated in were ways in which we were being taught to serve with one another for one another. How are we growing in that today?

    Persistent Encouragement
    Matthew 17:1-9 
    Without guidance and direction, we run the risk of simply wandering around aimlessly – or worst yet, that we might become lost. The spiritual discipline of prayer focuses us on God and the things of God, while worship allows us the opportunity to be transformed in body of believers for the work God intends for our lives.
