A New Commandment: Love Each Other John 1331 After Judas had gone, Jesus said: Now the Son of Man will be given glory, and he will bring glory to God. 32 Then, after God is given glory because of him, God will bring glory to him, and God will do it very soon. 33 My children, I will…
Kids Korner: Love one another (May 15th)

Read John 13:31-35 with your family. Jesus told us we were supposed to love one another. The love Jesus was talking about wasn’t just a feeling, it was meant to be an action. Christianity is about love in action… that is our faith. We love and worship God, and we show that love by how…

My Sheep Know Me John 10 22 That winter, Jesus was in Jerusalem for the festival of Dedication. 23 One day he was walking in the part of the temple known as Solomon’s Porch, 24 and the people gathered all around him. They said, “How long are you going to keep us guessing? If you are the Messiah,…
Kids Korner: My people know me (May 8th)

Read John 10:22-30 with your family. This story took place while Jesus was celebrating Hanukkah (Festival of the Dedication) in Jerusalem.

Jesus Commissions Peter John 21 Jesus later appeared to his disciples along the shore of Lake Tiberias. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, and the brothers James and John, were there, together with two other disciples. 3 Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing!” The others said, “We will go with you.” They went out in…
Kids Korner: Peter, feed my sheep (May 1st)

Read John 21:1-19 with your family. The writers of the Gospels had many names for the followers of Jesus, not just the closest ones being called ‘disciples’, but all of Jesus’ followers. ‘Sheep’ was a word they used often because everyone in Galilee and Judah grew up seeing sheep and shepherds all over the countryside.…
Sunday Reflection, Easter II – April 24, 2022

Jesus appears after Resurrection John 20 19 The disciples were afraid of the Jewish leaders, and on the evening of that same Sunday they locked themselves in a room. Suddenly, Jesus appeared in the middle of the group. He greeted them 20 and showed them his hands and his side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they…
Kids Korner: Thomas has doubts (April 24th)

Read John 20:19-31 with your family. Thomas had doubts. He was like most followers of Jesus throughout 2000 years of history. Doubts is not the opposite of faith. Doubts just means you have questions, and questions help us grow our faith. If everyone had perfect faith, we wouldn’t have any conversations about faith and we…
Easter Monday 2022

We continue to turn the tables of our understanding Luke 24 13 That same day two of Jesus’ disciples were going to the village of Emmaus, which was about eleven kilometers from Jerusalem. 14 As they were talking and thinking about what had happened, 15 Jesus came near and started walking along beside them. 16 But they did not know who…
Kids Korner: Easter Sunday (April 17th)

Read Luke 24:1-12 with your family. Some churches often forget that the women came back to Jesus’ tomb while the men were hiding in the upper room, scared about what would happen. In all the excitement about Jesus’ resurrection, we forget who the first witnesses were to the empty tomb. Jesus was very intentional about…
