Jesus uses two animal metaphors (my favorite!) today in his word of judgment on the people of Jerusalem. There is a lot of backstory packed into this short Gospel message, so let’s dig in and see what Jesus means here as he “sets his face towards Jerusalem” and in our second week in Lent - so too do we.

Have you ever been stranded in the wilderness or had your car break down in the middle of nowhere? They say the vast majority of survival situations are resolved in the first 72 hours. Jesus once spent 40 days out in the wilderness and found himself in some dangerous situations. Today we will equip ourselves with the kind of survival system Jesus recommends.

We are dust. We will be dust again. But God breathed life into dust once, and God will do it again. On this day, we look death in the face and defiantly declare that it will not win.

We’ve all had them, these mountaintop experiences. Moments where God has felt so close and so bright and so real. And when you’ve had that experience, it’s easy to want to stay there. To build tents and “dwell” as the disciples say in today’s Gospel. It’s easy to think of this transfiguration as a thing that can only happen on the mountaintop. But we have to come back down, to the valley, where life is. I once heard the phrase, “we don’t have to stay on the mountain, the mountain gives us gifts so that the mountain stays with us.” What does the mountain gift you today that you can bring with you?

Joseph’s story is much more than a popular Broadway musical. The story involves deep family dysfunction, identity politics, human exploitation, and all kinds of treachery. And just when it looks like everyone is going to get what they have coming, redemption.

We have a series of blessings in front of us, ones that don’t quite match what we think of when we hear people say they are so blessed. I mean, it’s a hashtag for crying out loud. What happens when we compare this #blessed trend to this list of blessings from Jesus?

Popeye the Sailor Man loved to declare that “I am what I am and that’s all that I am!” (He also ate a lot of canned spinach which was sorta gross and weird). Long before Popeye, St. Paul ran around saying the same thing. After being saved by grace, Paul devoted his life to building faithful, reckless communities of faith willing to risk it all in order to reach others with the gospel.

Not too long after his notoriety begins to rise, Jesus visits his hometown and is met with skepticism and bewilderment. “Didn’t we grow up with this guy?” Jesus reminds the gathered hometown crowd that he isn’t going to give them any kind of advantage just because he is “one of them."

Jesus returns home and is invited to speak at the worship service that weekend. He did a great job reading the scriptures and everyone was so pleased with this hometown boy. If only someone would have given the benediction at that moment so everyone could enjoy the coffee and cookies like they did after every other service. You won’t believe what happens next!

There's no cliché for this one. In honor and recognition of MLK, Jr. weekend, Chad and Natalia preach back and forth from selections from “The Drum Major Instinct” by Martin Luther King Jr. and we experience the power and relevance of these words in a new way...
