Pentecost—May 27, 2007
Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Lessons: Acts 2:1–21; Psalm 104:25–35, 37; Romans 8:14–17; John 14:8–17, 25–27
Summary: The people of God are called to give voice to God’s deeds of power. What should that voice sound like? In what voice will we proclaim God’s deeds in truth, integrity, and power?
Installation of Pastor Jeff Lilley—May 20, 2007
Preacher: Bishop Murray Finck
Lessons: Acts 1:1–11; Psalm 47; Ephesians 1:15–23; Luke 24:44–53
Summary: Although this Installation service uses the Ascension lessons, today is not about lifting up Jeff Lilley; it is about lifting up Jesus Christ. Pastor Lilley and all of us are called not for elevation, but for service—humble work for which we always need God’s compassion and mercy.
Easter VII—May 20, 2007
Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Lessons: Acts 16:16–34; Psalm 97; Revelation 22:12–14, 16–17, 20–21; John 17:20–26
Summary: If we start with the assurance that we are known and loved by God, we do not have to be afraid that controversial issues will destroy our unity, which is in Christ Jesus.
Easter VI—May 13, 2007
Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Lessons: Acts 16:9–15; Psalm 67; Revelation 21:10, 22–22:5; John 14:23–29
Summary: The world wants us to hold on to words like “be consumers,” “be happy,” or “behave.” Jesus wants us to hold on to this word: “be loved.” If we hold on to this word, Jesus has prepared a place for us.

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Lessons: Acts 9:1–20; Psalm 30; Revelation 5:11–14; John 21:1–19
Summary: Churches keep “fishing” the same way we have always fished and expect different results. Jesus told the disciples to let down their nets on the other side of the boat, and we need to be ready to do so ourselves.
Easter II—April 15, 2007
Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Lessons: Acts 5:27–32; Psalm 150; Revelation 1:4–8; John 20:19–31
