Power Struggle

(Chad Brekke) From the garden of Eden to the baptism of Jesus, there has always been a struggle for power and control. As we step back into these ancient stories, you may see this power struggle in your own life. As usual, Jesus comes to show us another way and to give us something better.

Cloud Cover

(Natalia Terfa) We like to have answers, to figure things out, to know what things mean - especially when it comes to our faith and stories in the Bible. But a story that has, as a primary feature, a cloud obscuring all the answers, well, there is something there to wonder about.

The Home Team

(Chad Brekke) Conflict and disagreement have been challenges faced by church communities from the very beginning. On this day when much of the country is choosing sides, rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles, we are reminded that reconciliation in the midst of significant disagreements and differences, is both the gift and the call of the church, no matter which team you may be rooting for!

Being Church

(Chad Brekke) Church can break out during an arena rock concert or in an airport security line. It can be found around the makeshift altar of a living room coffee table or in a gothic cathedral. Church is a gift given before anything we do or say.

(Natalia Terfa) “You are blessed when ______.” Jesus begins his preaching with a kind of preamble, a foretaste of what the rest of his ministry will be about and who it will be for. But it doesn’t quite meet the expectations of the gathered crowd - or us if we’re honest.

Making a Home

(Natalia Terfa) “And made his home in Capernaum by the sea.”  Jesus made a home in Capernaum. We don’t often think about this one line in the story of the calling of the first disciples. After all, moving quickly to fishing for people is kind of the point of this story. But what does it mean that Jesus made Capernaum his home? Why does it matter? What can it teach us?

Real World Jesus

(Chad Brekke) Jesus announced by angels is one thing. The heavens opening and holy doves descending at his baptism is another. But what about Jesus showing up in town when you’re trying to do some shopping? What about a Jesus who keeps showing up in your everyday life?

Our Faith Story

(Brent Haglund) When we made promises to these students long ago, we were serious about seeing it through. Back then, they could not speak for themselves, yet they heard the promise of being "sealed with the Holy Spirit and marked with the cross of Christ, forever." Today, a piece of that promise has been honored. We hear their words as they respond to that promise, and we take the next step in faith together.
Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17

Seeking Refuge

(Natalia Terfa) This story is not very merry or bright. We would most often prefer to skip right past it. But there are some things to learn from the Holy Family in this story - and how they are forced to become guests instead of hosts.
