We are spending each Sunday inspired by a hymn of our faith. Many of these hymns were inspired by difficult times, or moments of triumph, and their stories can inspire us today.

On this Baccalaureate Sunday, our youth look at the hymn, "Blest Be the  Tie  That Binds," and share their experience  of Jesus being the Vine and us the branches.

On Easter Sunday we will remember the question that Jesus asks Mary when she comes to the tomb. As we celebrate the resurrection, we ask ourselves the same question: Who are we looking for on Easter morning? Who are we looking for when we claim to be Christ's disciples? Who are we looking for when we face hardship or peril? Who are we looking for when we are called into the world?

On Palm Sunday, so many people were willing to follow Jesus, including His disciples. They would follow their teacher anywhere. But Jesus asks Peter if he is willing to follow Him even to His death? On Palm Sunday, we will remember that Jesus is faithful to death, even if we are not.

Peter was a star pupil and often seemed to have answers to Jesus' questions. Jesus asks Peter a great question of Faith, "Who do you say that I am?" That question is central to our faith. Who is Jesus? Do we call Him our lord, our teacher, our friend, our God, or all of the above? Peter calls Jesus the Messiah, which draws praise from Jesus. But when Jesus foretells His own death, Peter seems lost...

As a child I asked lots of questions. Sometimes my teachers knew the answers and sometimes they did not. But it always annoyed me when a teacher answered my question with another question. A lawyer asks Jesus this question, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Instead of providing an answer, Jesus asks the man to tell him what the scripture says. In the end, the man answers his own question w...

Our lives are full of storms. Fear can overrun us when our lives seem out of control. But Jesus asks us to live unafraid and full of faith. Have there been times when fear has caused you to make a bad decision, or stopped you from doing the right thing? How can we have faith even in fearful times?

It's a desperate situation: a multitude of hungry people and not enough food to eat. The disciples look to Jesus for help, but Jesus responds with a question: What do you have to give? As we prepare to receive communion, we will remember not only what Jesus has given us, we will also think about what we are asked to give.

After the resurrection, Jesus appears to the disciples and asks Peter three times, " Do you love me?" If we were asked this question we would all say, "Yes, of course I love Jesus." But for Jesus, that was not enough. To answer that question, we must put our faith into action. We must love those people that Jesus loves. We must care for the sheep of the good shepherd. It is through our actions tha...

Jesus' question for all of us. Sometimes we get so satisfied with our lives that we don't realize how much we need Go's providence until we are lost, broken, or alone. During this service we will remember our brokenness and look to Jesus Christ for the cure.

The trails and tribulations of our life can also leave us worn out and feeling alone. It is easy to look at the problems of the world and the problems of our life and feel despair. We may even wonder if Jesus hears our prayers, or is available to help us. But Jesus Christ promised the disciples (and us) that we would never be orphaned. We would never be alone because the Holy Spirit is always with...

Christ promises us New Life, both eternal life in heaven and a new life even now that should reflect that life everlasting. We often think of that promise as conditional, based on our ability to have perfect faith, or our ability to live life according to God's will. But this promise is ultimately based on something far more powerful: God's unending love.

There are so many times in life that we do the wrong thing. At times we want to hide those wrong things from the world, whether we lose our temper, or whether we treat someone with disrespect, or whether we ignore the needs of someone who is hurting. Maybe you have even thought, "No one could forgive me." But God promises again and again that through Jesus Christ we have grace. Through Jesus Chris...

We sometimes think of our faith as a path to happiness, a path to abundance, a ticket to God's good favor. Yet God did not promise that life would be easy for those who believe. Jesus Christ often told His disciples that following Christ would require sacrifice. Discipleship requires us to give, and it may even require us to face hardship. To follow Jesus Christ in a culture that follows its own p...

On Epiphany Sunday, we remember the story of the wise men who came in search of Jesus. When they encountered Jesus they soon realized that they could not go back on the same path. They had to go home by a different road. The path that we take in life goes through many twists and turns, and when we encounter Jesus Christ it should change the path we take in life, just as it did for the wise men.
