New Year’s Day 2023
It is the first day of 2023! How will we face the new year? By being present in the moment because that is where our faith is.

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.
KCLC is still on the air and we go back to 1978 to hear the first breakout hit of this band from the state of Illinois. This song is an invitation to higher living. The lyrics to this song points us to a new way of living.
We make our last stop on “The Journey” to Jerusalem. As Jesus was leaving Jericho, we see Jesus’ commitment to drawing people close to him and a man’s faith who was stronger than all the people following Jesus in that moment.
It is the 4th week of Advent and we are on the cusp of Christmas. Love is the order of the day. I spend some time answering the question, “Why love?”
We continue in our sermon series on thankfulness. Today we spend some time looking at the fact that we can be thankful that God wants to grow us.
