Lent (#1): “Where God Isn’t”Text: Psalm 139If there are places on earth that seem particularly close to the heavens, then it is only reasonable to suggest that there may be places which seem particularly distant.

“On the Mountain”Text: Mark 2:2-9On this Transfiguration Sunday, we explore the idea of “thin places” on earth, where the realm of the Divine seems to intersect with the mundane in an extraordinary way.

“The Great Equalizer”Text: Mark 1:40-45Pastor Jon explores a couple of texts related to leprosy. We are reminded that God has the power to cleanse lepers… and to forgive us of our sins. The great equalizer is neither leprosy nor cancer, but the sin that so easy entangles us.
