No More Normal: Good News?

Reading: Luke 2:8-20, 4:14-21

This last Sunday, the first Sunday in Advent, began our series called "No More Normal," which might end up asking more questions than it answers. This week we asked how good our news really is.

Full of Mystery, Full of Meaning

Reading: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; John 13:1-17

We celebrated communion together yesterday, so our sermon was a brief reflection on the intersection of gratitude, grace, and proclamation of the Lordship of Christ (this was Christ the King Sunday, after all).

Pick a Direction

Reading: Daniel 12:1-13; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15

We finished our brief look at the book of Daniel this week, and if you're finishing Daniel you have to come to terms with the strangeness of apocalypses. The apocalyptic material in the Bible is woefully mistreated by most audiences, but if we can cut through that ridiculousness we can see just how powerful these messages are.

Strength in Numbers

Reading: Ephesians 1:11-23; Daniel 7:1-18

We're doing a bit of a mini-series dealing with Daniel, which is fun for me since Daniel is such an odd book. Last week we looked at a couple of the early stories in Daniel; this week we're dealing with some of the material in the middle.
