  50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. 51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. 54 When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!” The C ..read more

Sometimes people will say, “Pastor, I want to tell you something but you have to promise not to tell anyone.”  Or maybe your kids will say to you, “Dad, I want to ask you for something but you have to say yes”.  Another like it is, “I want to tell you something but you have to promise not to be mad.” Well it’s hard to make such a promise before you know what you’re agreeing to.  The asker maybe is trying to soften the blow a bit, or prime the pump to test how generous or patient you are feeling.  In any case, that’s what James and John seem to do with the request they br ..read more

Simon of Cyrene Mark 15:16-22 16 And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters),2 and they called together the whole battalion.3 17 And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18 And they began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him. 21 And they compelled a ..read more

  The Servant Girl 15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest, 16 but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in. 17 The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “You also are not one of this man's disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” 18 Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they wer ..read more

  Annas and Caiaphas – John 18:12-14; 19-24 12 So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him. 13 First they led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people. 19 The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have ..read more

  Romans 5:1-11 Today we are going to take a more expository, verse-by-verse approach to this Epistle reading from St. Paul in Romans chapter 5.  I encourage you to follow along as we do so. So far in Romans he has laid a strong case for how we all stand condemned in our sins because of the law, but then moved on to explain that a righteousness apart from the law is revealed to us – a righteousness by grace through faith in Christ.  Now he continues unpacking the implications of that for the Christian.  There are so many different ways to look at this thing that God does ..read more

  Mark 14:(48b-50) 51-52 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled.” 50 And they all left him and fled. 51 And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, 52 but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked. __ "John Mark" We continue our Lenten focus on some of the “minor characters” or “supporting cast” of the Passion Narrative.  Today, we come to the Garden ..read more

Lent begins. Our 40 day time of preparation and prayer, penitence and fasting. A time of testing and probing, that leads us, with Jesus, to the cross. Any student of the Bible quickly learns that 40 is an important number.  The rains fell in Noah’s day for 40 days and nights (Genesis 7:4) Israel ate manna and wandered in the wilderness for 40 years (Exodus 16:35) Moses was with God on the mountain, 40 days and nights, without eating bread or water (Exodus 24:18, 34:28) The spies searched the land of Canaan for 40 days (Numbers 13:25) 40 lashes (stripes) was the maximum whipping penalty ..read more

  A blessed Ash Wednesday to you, dear Christians.   We begin the season of repentance known as Lent.  The ashes on our foreheads a stark reminder of the wages of sin – death – that has marked itself on every cell of our body, indeed, our very soul.  But even as ashes was away easily with water, so our baptism has removed the soil and stain of sin from us, and thus also its consequences.  The flesh will die, but we who are in Christ will live, and one day see a resurrection.  The ashes form the sign of a cross, as a reminder that the death that counts is Jesus ..read more

  What a strange event was the Transfiguration of our Lord!  Sticking out like, well, a mountaintop, in the midst of the Gospels.  Most of the miracles Jesus does directly benefit someone who is suffering or in need.  But this one is different.  This is a teaching moment.  This is a revelation. Peter, James and John have front row seats to a spectacular event – Jesus is transfigured before them.  And through their witness, we can peek on in to see it too.  His appearance, his figure, changes.  No longer appearing as your average, every-day, humble ..read more
