We had a streaming issue this Sunday. This video is from a last min camera which was set up.
A plant cannot be healthy unless it has strong roots and healthy shoots. This Sunday we learn more about the roots of resurrection.
Thought for the Week: RESURRECTION EYES: Roots And Shoots: The Tap Root
Something strange is happening —
There is a great silence on earth today, a great silence, and stillness.
The whole earth keeps silent because the King is asleep.
The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and the underworld trembles with fear.
--- from an ancient Holy Saturday Homily
What Had happened at Grace this week.
This sermon could just as easily be titled YHWH I AM EGO EIMI. Today we are going to take a journey to the Land of Holiness. When we get there, we will still be here.. Yes, that is a paradox. No, we are not going to leave this sanctuary. This is a journey of the heart, of the soul. Once we know where holiness lives, it will come alive in us.
When we treat time like a shrinking commodity, our families and neighbors can feel like frustrating interruptions. This week, we see how Jesus frees us to see those interruptions as gifts.
Bible study traced Mark 9:2–50 into Mark 10:1–52, emphasizing humility over status, protecting “little ones,” radical measures against sin, God’s design for marriage, childlike faith, the danger of wealth, servant greatness, and true spiritual vision.
The shoes you put on every day when you work or shop are actually a mask of God, they are the very way He walks into the world to provide for His creation.
The class studied Mark 10, exploring how Jesus welcomes the humble, challenges attachment to wealth and status, and defines greatness as serving others on the way to Jerusalem.
