4/6/2012 | Mary, Mother of Jesus: Willing that God Change our Plans Mary willingly submitted to God: He changed all of her plans, and in exchange, God gave her eternity of glory. Only as *we* are willing to let God step in and change *our* plans, can we come into His glory. |

| 4/17/2011 | Weeping over the City The God who judges us is the God who weeps over us - we see this in Jesus on Palm Sunday. |
The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II | ||
| 4/10/2011 | Why Wait for the Lord - and How? Along our Lenten way, looking ahead to the great drama of our redemption which we will shortly be celebrating at Holy Week and the Easter feast, we pause to sing a song of ascents which paradoxically begins “out of the depths.” How can that be? By waiting for the Lord. Why? Because he is God and we are not. Yes, but how? First, we wait actively, as St. Paul directs us in our capacity to set our minds on the Spirit and not on the flesh. Secondly, in our incapacity, we wait passively, like Lazarus. His contribution? It was twofold: he was dead and he stunk. |
The Rev. Nicholas Lubelfeld | ||
| 4/3/2011 | The Vine Life: Bearing Much Fruit Bearing fruit for Christ involves our choice to abide in him, and letting him abide in us. We abide in his love as he abides in the Father's love. |

| 2/27/2011 | Where You do not Want to Go In following Christ, he surely will sometimes take us where we don't want to go. |
What is the Holy Spirit doing in our Church? | The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II | |
| 1/29/2011 | Proclaiming Jesus to the World When Jesus looked at the crowd he had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd. Jesus tells us that the way to address these needs is to ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers for the harvest. May we follow Jesus’ example and (1) be people who see and people who care, (2) be people who asks God to send out workers for the harvest, and (3) be the people who uses us to answer our prayer and make us disciples who make disciples! |
