Monologue: Saving Joachim
Monday Dec 20, 2021
Monday Dec 20, 2021
This Sunday Pastor Rob presented a monologue titled Saving Joachim (though the first part will really be a dialogue with a special guest)! The monologue is based on the father of Mary, a non-biblical character, but one who is identified in apocryphal literature-writings of the same time period as biblical books but not included as Holy Scripture. In this case, the story of Mary's parents, Joachim and Anna (for whom there is a church dedicated in her name in Jerusalem built over the site where their house was believed to be) is told in the apocryphal Gospel of James. You can access that writing here. The stories about Joachim and Anna are told in the first three chapters.

And a Little Child Shall Lead Them

Sunday Dec 12, 2021
Children really make the Christmas story. Literally.
It starts with the baby Jesus, which is kind of amazing if you think about the way the world viewed children in that time. Listen as Pastor Rob reminds us of why Jesus came to the world as a baby and this is often how we find hope for ourselves, that look beyond, we look ahead, we act now in ways that will bless those far beyond the horizon we see and experience the miracle of Christmas to bring a light that never dims.

Messy Christmas
Sunday Dec 05, 2021
Sunday Dec 05, 2021
It might not be all that appealing, but wouldn’t it be refreshing to write a Christmas letter that’s honest? It can be hard to wish people a Merry Christmas when we are living in a Messy Christmas. Christmas, of all times, is when we want the messes of the world to go away, if only for a few weeks. Cover the trees and shrubs in twinkling lights. Deck the house with garland. Play Christmas music.
What if God wants to meet you in that place to use that in some way that can bring light and hope to other people. Light that can redeem pain is a light that never dims.
