Pastors from across Mountain States Mennonite Conference contributed to a Good Friday podcast. It includes scripture, reflections, and music to help us remember Jesus’ death on the cross and burial.
Real Life
Pastor Glenn preached from Matthew 26:14-27:66. This is the longest lesson of the year- the dramatic, all to real accounting of Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion.
Bones and Valleys
Pastor Claudia Aguilar led us in a reflection on Ezekiel 37:1-14. This week, we ask that you prepare for worship at home by choosing a spot in your house where you feel peace, have paper and a writing utensil at hand (you will use it!), and, if possible, a Bible or online Bible near you (you will use it!).
You are light
Pastor Claudia preached from Ephesians 5:8-14.
Eight Words
Pastor Glenn preached from Mark 1:40-45 and considered creativity in a time of COVID-19.
The worship bulletin includes lyrics to the hymns used this week and giving instructions.
Blessed?
Pastor Claudia preached from Genesis 12:1-4a. Are you feeling blessed lately? What is the cost of being blessed? We explored these questions as we immerse ourselves into this profound text.
What's the big deal?
Pastor Glenn Balzer preached from Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7. What’s the big deal? Everyone should know the difference between good and evil.
Transfiguration
Pastor Claudia Aguilar preached from Matthew 17:1-9. Transfiguration Sunday: Do we need any explanation?
God's Kin-dom
Pastor Zach Martinez of Sojourn Mennonite preached from Matthew 20:1-16. Does the Kin-dom of God reflect the meritocratic organization of western culture? Or does it look like something else entirely? The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard offers a glimpse of how God’s Kin-dom ought to look and how God’s people ought to respond.
Who Are You?
Pastor Glenn Balzer preached from Matthew 5:13-20. When we act with justice, righteousness, and kindness, the light shines and the world is healed.
