Michelle Paquette, Ebenezer Director of Student Ministries and guest speaker, reminds us that we not only have to have a solid foundation on Christ's teachings, but even more we must build our lives on that foundation. The crowds we're amazing at Christ's teachings. Jesus doesn't want us to stop there. He actually calls us to live it out each and e…

During his earthly ministry, Jesus spent much time preparing his disciples, followers, and listeners for the Kingdom of God that is at hand— calling them repent, to reorient their lives to focus on God, and give them a glimpse of what is ahead. Preparation is not about predicting the future; it is about presence-ing yourself as it unfolds. We are a…

Jesus, in Matthew 22, offers a parable saying the Kingdom of God is like a wedding banquet. This parable is not simply about a wedding, but about putting on the wedding garment, that is Christ Jesus. To be clothed in Christ, and be forever changed. The invitation to this wedding banquet is not to a select group of people, but to all. Will you accep…

The quadrants of Focus 2023 (Worship, Discipleship, Community, & Service), could not function without Giving and Serving. 1 Timothy 6, challenges us on our priorities and perspectives about Giving. Rather than being identified by our money, wealth, and “stuff”, Paul challenges us to pursue the things in this life that really matter like— righteousn…

The Company of Christians makes a difference. We are resident agents of reconciliation who get to tell people about what God is like, how to know God, how God can be experienced, and provide a scriptural and biblical witness to others that is unlike anything the world has seen. This is why we show up as agents of grace, knowing that we don’t work f…

In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus lifts how vital it is to respond with compassionate action to another, from sharing food with someone who is hungry to welcoming someone who feels like they don’t belong. Several people from the congregation tell their story of serving Christ in compassionate mission. What’s your story? How is Jesus inviting you to missio…

If we follow Jesus, we need to know what matters to Jesus. What is most important to him? Jesus tells us in Mark 12:28-34: full-on loving God and loving our neighbors in the same way that we love ourselves. Romans 12:1-5 helps put hands and feet to living that out. Our new Focus 2030 priorities help us understand how to put that into practice, too.…

The birth of Jesus is evidence of God’s love for us and God’s desire that we not live this life alone. Jesus does not come when things are going smoothly. Jesus comes because they are not. The song Silent Night was not written when things were going smoothly either. Hear the words of Luke 2:1-20 and the words of this Silent Night. Let God bring lig…

When do we turn toward the Lord and stay there to worship? As we turn the figures in our nativity sets toward the manger, let us also turn ourselves to the manger, focusing our hearts on Jesus. We are lifting the words of the carol O Come, All Ye Faithful as we study Isaiah 9:2-7 and Matthew 11:2-11. O, come let us adore Christ the Lord.…

Playlists have evolved significantly over the past 75 years from jukeboxes and cassette tapes, to CD’s and streaming services. In this series, we’ll look at the songs of the season, the carols of Christ, and to have those songs etched on our hearts. This week, we look at “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” and humanity’s longing past, present, and future f…

Paul uses a farm analogy to invite the Christian community in Corinth to acknowledge the profound impact their gift-giving, investment can make in the lives of many folks. “…whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” As followers of Christ, we are called, challenged, and invited to res…

Simon Peter and his fishing partners get a surprise visitor one morning after a long night of fishing. Jesus shows up with a crowd and asks Simon Peter to row out from shore. The encounter changes Simon’s life. He trusts Jesus in his struggles and is surprised to catch the biggest haul of fish he has ever seen. Our encounters with Jesus can change …

It may be difficult for us to comprehend who Jesus is, what he does, and what he knows about us when he steps into our world. We can only answer from the context and experience of our own lives. There is no way for us to know all that Jesus would do. Having been immobile for most of his life, a man trusted the waters, believed to contain healing pr…

There are 37 miracles recorded in the Gospels, pointing to Jesus turning the ordinary into something extraordinary, making a way where there was thought to be no way. These miracles show the providing, sustaining, and healing power of God at work. A miracle is the work of God bringing about transformation in God’s creation. In this first miracle of…

Like the Israelites, we are susceptible to not choosing God and making God a priority in our lives. It’s our humanity. We must reorder our lives in a way that helps us to live open to what God wants to do in us and with us. When is it a good time to do things backwards? When is it a good time to do things differently? Listen to how Joshua conveys t…
