What kind of Jesus do you want?
If nobody has told you or if you missed all the signs: Today is Palm Sunday.
I remember the Palm Sundays of my youth. I used to sing in the little kid’s choir. My brother sang in the older kids’ choir. He wasn’t that much older than me. (I said 2 years; he insisted it was 27 months.) I think, even back then, they knew it would be best to keep us separated. My mom sang in the adult choir. My dad sang in the pew….For more, click on the title above.

God’s Word is His bond
We are now just two weeks away from Easter Sunday and find ourselves at Judica Sunday. The purple paraments have returned and the bright and joyful pink that decorated the nave is gone. But the welcoming pink is not the only thing that has been removed. Much like how the nails left holes in Christ’s hands after he was removed from the cross, today the removal of the rest of the glorias leaves the services with empty holes that stand out. Judica is Latin and here translates to “vindicate” or “judge”. According to Merriam Webster, vindicate is defined as follows: “to free from allegation or blame: to show that someone is not guilty.” … For more, click on the title above.

Rejoice because Jesus died for you
Jesus has been tried and wrongly convicted—but convicted none the less—and of the most unacceptable, offensive crime. Not for the murder of a child, not for molestation, or rape, nor for any number of outlandish, despicable crimes that we can only imagine—but for blasphemy—the denial of God Himself or the claim to be God or to be God’s Son, and for that, he must die. …For more, click on the title above.

King of the Jews
Today marks the third Wednesday in the season of Lent as we continue our series on the doctrinally sound Stations of the Cross. As you can see by looking to the back of the Nave, the fifth station of the cross is uncovered and is what we will be looking at today. If you look at the station, you will see a scene where three men are in front of a cross that is laying on its side, yet to be hoisted aloft. The key figure is Jesus. Our Savior is standing tall but looks weak. Jesus knew what was to come next. He knew that he was mere moments from being placed on the cross. …For more, click on the title above.
