Following Jesus.

Jesus calls us all to follow him. What does following Jesus look like for us who follow some 2,000 year after Peter, Andrew, James and John left their fishing net to follow Jesus.

The Messiness of Following Jesus

John the Baptizer points to Jesus as the “Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.” What does this mean for us who live in a world where we no longer offer animal sacrifices to God?

Who we are and whose we are

Jesus’ baptism helps us to reclaim who we are and whose we are in God’s sight in a time where we are bombarded with mixed messages of who are by our culture.

A God who stays in touch

John’s opening prologue helps us to ponder what kind of God, who created the universe, would move into our neighborhood and be our neighbor?

Listen to Him

Too often we want God to act as we want God to act. The transfiguration of Jesus calls us to listen to Jesus and follow Jesus on his terms and not our own.

Fullness and Emptiness

Jesus in his Sermon on the Plain offers blessings and curses depending on whether you welcome his initiatives or reject them. These blessings and curses move to reflect upon on relationship with Jesus.

A Mission to Light Your Way

Jesus sermon in his hometown of Nazareth based on Isaiah 61 was both descriptive of what he would do and was directive as of what we are called to do as his followers.

Is this our hometown boy?

Jesus sermon in his hometown of Nazareth sparks awe as well as controversy as it does today in us and the wider world. How we respond to Jesus is always important.
