Time after Pentecost • Lectionary 17—July 26, 2009

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: Do you know how to make bread? You start with some dough like this, but it tastes terrible. But last night we baked that dough into this delicious bread. In today’s Gospel, they only had a little bread, but they had something else very important. Jesus added love, and there was enough bread for everyone. Where there is enough of God’s love, no one goes hungry.

Time after Pentecost • Lectionary 16—July 19, 2009

Preacher: Pastor David Kieffer
Summary: Here is my Bible. Even if you don’t have your Bible with you, you know some important things in the Bible, like what it says in John 3:16. Then, even if you don't have your Bible, you will be carrying around that important idea.

Time after Pentecost • Lectionary 15—July 12, 2009

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: Today we hear Amos talking about a plumb line. That’s a weight on the end of a string that will tell you if a building is straight. Then you know if it’s crooked and might fall down. It’s like this level I have here. Amos said that Israel was crooked, and God would not be with them. But in Ephesians, Paul tells us that no matter what, God will be with us. Paul is really saying that God has a new plumb line, and that is God’s love. God loves us, no matter what the level says.

Time after Pentecost • Lectionary 14—July 5, 2009

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: You probably don’t know the name of this flower. But even if you knew its name, would it be any prettier? It’s just a pretty purple flower. In today’s Gospel, Jesus goes to his hometown. Everyone knew him, and he couldn’t do any miracles. They couldn’t see Jesus’ power and beauty. The problem was how they thought about Jesus.

Time after Pentecost • Lectionary 13—June 28, 2009

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: In today’s Gospel, we hear about two people that Jesus heals. When you get hurt, your mom puts a bandage on it. The bandage helps, but it doesn’t heal. Jesus’ healing comes from love and heals right away. Jesus’ love for us is not bandage love. It goes all the way through us and brings us wholeness.

Time after Pentecost • Lectionary 12—June 21, 2009

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: In today’s Gospel, Jesus and the disciples are in a boat, and a big storm comes up. It’s scary to be in a storm, and Jesus was sleeping, so they work him up, and he said, “Peace. Be still.” Sometimes we cannot get out of a difficult situation by ourselves, and we need Jesus. We need to know that God loves us and will be with us.

Time after Pentecost • Lectionary 11—June 14, 2009

Preacher: Seminarian Jacob Burkman
Summary: Today is the Second Sunday Sunday after Pentecost, and the altar is green. Green makes you think of trees and leaves and plants, and plants grow from seeds. Seeds need soil and water to grow. The size of the seed doesn’t tell us how big the plant will be.

Trinity Sunday—June 7, 2009

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: Today is Trinity Sunday. We have God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, but its’s one God who speaks to us in three ways. If I speak to you in Spanish or German, or ancient Greek, it’s still me. God speaks to us in different ways, but it’s the same God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who loves you forever.
