Easter is not about reset, it's about rebirth. It's not an opportunity to go back to what was, it's an invitation to lean into what ought to be.

True religion is not designed, it's received. It is a submission to sacred scriptures, observance of sacraments, and participation in community that observers can encounter God.

The first half of Mark's Gospel has been swirling around one main question: Who is Jesus of Nazareth? In this pivotal scene, we get an answer that the disciples only half understand.

When Jesus spoke of traditions he referred to beliefs and practices outside the scripture, not inside the scriptures. The idea that man was made for tradition needs to be second-guessed.

Jesus always viewed reality through the lens of a greater reality by bringing God into the equation. This is why he second-guessed most understanding of what might be possible.

Even though we don't like to think about death, life has a way of bringig up the subject. For Jairus, that meant he had to decide who he was going to second-guess.

When Jesus becomes "friends with sinners", He is second guessed by others around him.

When Jesus first encounters religious leaders, their second-guessing gets at the heart of who Jesus is and what He has authority to give.

It was instant success, at least from the disciple's perspective. Jesus' first followers were also the first to question the priorities of his mission.

God tells us to make disciples in every nation and tell the next generations of his mighty power and majesty. Today we will hear how that relates to the next vision of The Hills Church.

We all live with the reality of anxiety, is it possible to live with peace instead of panic? Paul teaches us how to win the battle of the mind by changing the way we think about a challenge.

When Paul was in prison he learned that keeping calm is a determination not a destination. He learned that his strength comes from the Lord.

Writing from prison, Paul insists that we have spiritual resources that we can use to Keep Calm. We do not have to live trying to stay afloat in a sea of anxiety.

The Bible teaches us that the presence of anxiety is optional. Jesus teaches us how to live with anxiety by looking to Him.

John referred to himself as the disciple Jesus loved. How would it change your life if you realized you are God’s favorite?

As we evaluate 2020, let’s see how well we kept our focus and love on God and use this as motivation moving into 2021. Our love for God sets the foundation for how we live our lives.

"Christ" is not Jesus last name, it is perhaps his most important title. It is the Greek form of the Hebrew word "Messiah", and it was given to Jesus as soon as he was born.

This has been a year where we have all had to deal with isolation of some sort. However, we have assurance from the name Immanuel that "God is with us". We are never truly alone.

The child Mary carried would be given many titles, but he was only given one name. It was an ordinary and common name that is not even unique in scriptures. But it was uniquely chosen for Mary's baby.
