Mustard and the Imagination

Let’s Not Turn Wine Back Into Water

On Sunday we continued on with our Lenten sermon series, examining the turning of water into wine from John 2:1-12. This miracle pointed to who Christ was and asks us to wrestle with our tendency to want to turn wine back into water.

Mustard and the Imagination

On Sunday we continued on with our Lenten sermon series, examining the Parable of the Mustard Seed in Mark 4:30-32 [https://pbcob.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7e7bece3cebc7c0ddf5a64c98&id=f60c1f25c1&e=45f7474964]. Christ often taught on the Kingdom of God by using real world examples - in this case, focusing in a tiny seed that can grow into a huge tree.

There’s Enough Bread and Fish For All

On Sunday we continued on with our Lenten sermon series, examining the feeding of the 5000 in John 6:1-15 [https://pbcob.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7e7bece3cebc7c0ddf5a64c98&id=4b12b276b3&e=45f7474964]. Jesus fed the crowds (connecting his story with Moses) but this time around there were baskets of leftovers. We are invited into living out the Kingdom of God - are we trusting that God promises there will be plenty to go around?

A Proper Old Sinner’s Unexpected Guest

On Sunday we continued on with our Lenten sermon series, examining the famous story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10 [https://pbcob.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7e7bece3cebc7c0ddf5a64c98&id=d40c4bea67&e=45f7474964]. Jesus extended "table fellowship" to this proper old sinner - how are we extending grace and living out an emboldened faith in our own day?

You Are Cordially Invited

On Sunday we started our new Lenten sermon series, looking at stories involving Jesus and food, fasting, feasting, tables etc. Our first text was from Mark 1:9-13 [https://pbcob.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7e7bece3cebc7c0ddf5a64c98&id=048d1f300c&e=45f7474964] and the story of Jesus' baptism and temptation in the wilderness. The heroes of old generally failed in their faithfulness, but the new Israel/Moses/Adam/Elijah will succeed!
