SERMON: I AM the Resurrection and the Life
Jesus Christ answers our deepest thirst and our gnawing hunger. He is the inextinguishable Light in overwhelming darkness, the unchanging Truth in our self-created confusion, the homeward Way when we are lost. He is the Vine from whom we grow and the Life for which we desperately long. He is I AM. Our Lenten series focuses our attention to reflect Paul in Philippians 3:10-12: "I want to know Christ--yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead."

SERMON: The End?
When our circumstances feel like a crisis, we as God's people face several risks. The first risk is to turn nostalgic-think of the glory days! A second risk is to despair-we are forgotten, and there is no hope! Another risk is to deny--everything is 'just fine!' These risks face us today, and they also faced God's people in ancient Judah. The prophet Jeremiah confronts these ancient tendencies by speaking God's truth that God remains King, we remain His people, and we need His deliverance.
