March 15 message: “Knowing God’s Care”

Whether it’s a child who finds security from a favorite toy or blanket, a teen who finds security in relationships with friends (or even a cell phone!), or an adult who draws security from a well-padded bank account, we search for security all around us.  Jesus invites us to find security in him, and tells […]

March 8, 2015 message: “Knowing God’s Guidance”

From fold-out maps to GPS to smart phones, we have numerous navigation tools for getting us where we need to go. Are we equally prepared to seek and follow God’s guidance on our spiritual journeys?  Are we eager to follow the one called “The Light of the World“? Today’s message, based on John 7:2, 14; […]

March 1, 2015 message: “Knowing God’s Satisfaction”

We live in a world where “satisfaction” is important.  We ask “what’s in it for me?”  We are always looking to see if there is something better out there.  How do we hear Jesus’ promise of satisfaction in such a world?  How do we show that we trust him to satisfy our deepest needs? Today’s […]

February 15, 2015 message:  “I Know That Voice!”

The voice that speaks when Jesus lead his disciples to the mountain is the same voice that spoke to Moses on the mountain and Jesus at his baptism.  God claims Jesus again as “beloved.”  How do we respond to God’s voice?  Are we even listening? Today’s message, based on Mark 9:2-9 and 2 Corinthians 4:3-6, […]

February 8, 2015 message: “His Healing Hands”

Jesus’ ministry is one of both word and action.  He heals the sick and raises the dead and those who receive his healing touch respond to him.  What does it mean to be healed?  Hearing how children define it in “Kids on Healing,” may clarify our own definition of healing. Today’s message, His Healing Hands, […]

February 1, 2015 message: “A Teacher We Can Trust”

“Authority” is not a welcome word for us.  But the Gospel reveals Jesus as one who taught with authority.  In a world when authority figures aren’t always revered, how do we lift up Jesus as Lord?  Today’s is based on Mark 1:21-18.  To read the fifth message in Pastor Mary’s God Revealed series, click here.
