February 5 On the Road with Jesus
One thing is clear about the Jesus we meet in Mark’s Gospel…he never stays still. He is always on the move. He has a message to share and a sense of urgency about sharing it. And us? Feel any urgency about sharing the Gospel, or perhaps this church?
Mark 1:29-39 Communion Rev. Nelson
February 12 The Healing Touch
Jesus heals a leper – a healing touch that accepts the unacceptable, touches the untouchable. It sure would be easier on all of us if, just once, he would walk by on the other side of the road!
Mark 1:40-45 Rev. Nelson
February 19 THE TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS: The Mountaintop Experience
On the mountain, Jesus is gloriously transfigured in the presence of some of his disciples. Could this rather hard to understand event be a metaphor for our own transformation?
Mark 9:2-9 Rev. Nelson
LENTEN SERMON THEME: Discipleship 101
To walk with Jesus toward Holy Week is to find ourselves in a crash course on discipleship
February 26 THE FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT
Discipleship 101: Alone in the Wilderness
Jesus is baptized and immediately finds himself in the wilderness, cut off from familiar sources of safety and support. Certainly not a very encouraging beginning.
Mark 1:9-15 Communion Rev. Nelson
