Verse for the week of May 13th:As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. (John 15:9)Abide is not a word that many people use a lot. When I hear this word, I think of the hymn ‘Abide with me,’ which comes from these words of Jesus.If you look up the word abide, the dictionary says it means to continue, to endure, to dwell, and to last. All of these words create the notion of staying with the person or object. Jesus is calling for the disciples that he is instructing during this final discourse...

May 6th: Text—John 15:1-8 Jesus tells us that he is the true vine and that to remain and bear fruit, we must stay connect to the vine that is Jesus. How do you see Jesus as the true vine? How are you staying connected to the vine? What is it in your life that needs pruned? May 13th: Text—John 15:9-17 The text calls us to love one another. As Jesus loved us, so now we need to love each other. The text also reminds us that it is Jesus who has chosen us and appointed us to go and bear fruit. May 20th: Text—Acts...
Recently, someone asked me about this phrase. If you attended any of the Lenten Services, you may have noticed that we used this phrase as part of our liturgy. I must admit that I used to struggle with this phrase many years ago. I remember first encountering this phrase while in seminary. Growing up within the Lutheran Church, we only used Setting 1 & Setting 2 in the LBW. Within these two setting of Holy Communion settings, we never use the words ‘Let us bless the Lord.’ We may have said things like...

Verse for the week of May 6th:Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. (I John 4:8)These words sound harsh, don’t they? ‘Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love’. And if you read the entire section, it goes on and becomes even more specific. Verse 21 says, ‘The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also.’This is quite a challenge—we must love our brothers and sisters. And the meaning of brothers and sisters is not just...

Verse for the week of April 29th:Jesus said, ‘I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. (John 10:11)This image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd is one of the more familiar images within the Bible. Jesus as the one, who oversees the flock to protects, cares for and guard the sheep is one that brings comfort and reassurance to many people.As I thought about this image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd—particularly the one who lays down his life for the sheep; the popular book The Hunger...
