MLK: The Way Forward

Jesus arrives in Jerusalem and there is a huge celebration praising Jesus for what they think Jesus is about. The crowd is wrong. They seek a political solution for a spiritual problem.

It is the day of Pentecost (the birthday of the Church) but it is a day we lament the racism in our nation. How do these two go together? The Spirit gives us the strength to be advocates.

We begin a new series on “The Journey” to Jerusalem. Every week until Easter, the gospel of Mark tells us exactly where Jesus is on the journey to the cross. This week we are in Capernaum as Jesus talks about perils of getting into arguments and engaging in conflict.

We continue in our sermon series on how we connect with God. Religious rigidity gets in the way of that connection. So much so we can get into ruts that we can’t get out of. Jesus frees us from our personal ruts!
