Resurrection is incredible not just because it happened, but because it happens.

Featuring a monologue from Terri Drumm and teaching moment from Leshia Knopf!

The text:

Mark 16

When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back.

As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.” So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Advent 2011: Angels

Angels2011.12.18 - Wendy Gritter - Advent 2011

Angels

Genesis 28, Ezekiel 1, Hebrews 1

The way you view the birth of Jesus depends a lot on where you’re standing.

For Advent this year we are going to look at the Christmas narrative from multiple perspectives, and ask the question: “how did each group view the incarnation?”

This week we look at the angels. What did the angels think about the incarnation?

Wendy Gritter returns to the Eucharist pulpit to help us become aware of the created connectors all around us, and the ways heaven and earth collide!

Advent 2011: Shepherds

Shepherds

2011.11.27 - Kevin Makins - Advent 2011

Shepherds

Luke 2, Isaiah 9

The way you view the birth of Jesus depends a lot on where you’re standing.

For Advent this year we are going to look at the Christmas narrative from multiple perspectives, and ask the question: “how did each group view the incarnation?”

We begin with the shepherds, and explore the way they received this grace.

Along the way we also talk about failure, success, guilt, singing the wrong words out loud, and when people catch you farting… 

Sorry about that last one…
