Throughout his writings to the early Christian communities, Paul repeats the phrase “We are” on numerous occasions. As a leader in the early church, his preaching and teaching served to lead people into passionate relationship with Jesus. Additionally, Paul was intent on communicating the importance of the Holy Spirit and its role in shaping people into the God’s handiwork. We will explore the overwhelming power of God’s love and how it positions us to say, “We are more than conquerors.”

The first words written about God in the Holy Scriptures are words that describe God as creator. Humans stand as the highlight of God’s creation. God has continue to walk with humans and has committed to continually working on and working with humans to shaped them into the likeness of God. When we declare that “We are clay, we make a statement of surrender and permission for God to do his work on us. It may make us uncomfortable at times, but God is a master worker and we can be sure that He knows what he is doing.

While speaking with his disciples, Jesus describes the life his disciples would live in this present world. It would not be a world absent of trouble, struggles, disappointment or persecution. Yet, in the midst of the negative aspects of life on earth, Jesus calls for his disciples to be “standouts”. The characteristics of these standouts will prove to be effective and impactful in turning the world to God.

In this sermon, we will explore what it means to be the branches on Jesus’ vine, for Jesus said, “I Am the Vine.” We will also honor our graduates with an inspiring message of support.

While Jesus is discussing his impending departure with his disciples, one of them speaks up and expresses their concern. His close companions are grappling with the prospect of not being with their Lord and master. Jesus explains and describes the disciple’s destiny and destination. It is rooted in the mission of God. Do you know where you are going? If not, Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life”.

In one of the most heart touching stories, Jesus encounters some of his best friends in a time of mourning and deep despair. It was within the context of death, that Jesus made a declaration of himself that would have life giving implications for the rest of time. What has died in in your life? What is in need of resurrecting? Jesus says, “I Am the Resurrection and the Life”.

“Follow me!” Jesus makes this request to all who would hear him. With this request, Jesus offers to lead our hearts, our souls, and our minds. He is offering to care for us deeply, responsibly and holistically. As a shepherd tenderly cares for his flock, so does Jesus lead his followers to holy destinations. He says of himself, “I Am The good shepherd and I am the gate”.

“The more worried you are that you might get sick, the more likely it is that you will, or if you do get sick that you'll end up sicker, or even dead, from an illness you might have survived if you just didn't worry so much.”

Worry is as American as apple pie. It is engrained in our psyche. Yet worrying has never solved a problem, made a problem better or helped us navigate the problem. Worrying is probably unavoidable, but it need not consume us. Today, we will be challenged to unsubscribe from worry.

In a few days, the season of Lent will commence. Lent is a shortened form of the English word “Lenten” which means “spring”. Accordingly, this time represents an entering into a new season. During this new season, we enter a period where we abstain from things (fast) and we introduce new practices (discipline). Someone described Lent as

“a season of preparation, self-reflection and repentance when we seek to literally ‘turn around’ and realign our lives and focus toward God. It is a time to give up things as well as take on new life-giving practices, helping us rid ourselves of distractions and our own selfish desires. By doing so, we seek to live and love as more faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.”

This morning, we prepare for the fast by discussing the ever-growing list of that creates clutter, confuse, and challenge our journey with God. We will zero in on the need to “unsubscribe” from things that get in the way. Our journey is one that we pray will lead to freedom.

God's love for us has been demonstrated in the most powerful way when the messiah, who was promised long ago, gave his life as an offering for those he loves.

It would be cute if the story of Christ was only about a crib. But the truth is that it involved a cross.

It would be cute if the story of Christ was only about a mother soothing her child. But the truth is that later, a crying mother would be soothed by the words of comfort spoken by her son as he hung on a cross.

It would be cute if the story of Christ was only about a host of angels singing hymns from heaven. But the truth is that later, those same angels watched in horror as the son of God breathed his last.

Optimism and hope are radically different attitudes.

• Optimism is the expectation that things -- the weather, human relationships, the economy, the political situation, on so on -- will get better

Satan doesn't like unity. He doesn't like when we come together. It's one of the reasons he uses the device of disagreement. Satan says, "You don't agree with that person. You can't work together. You need to expose him/her. You need to make your disagreement a test of your fellowship. You are better that that person, and until that person gets on your level, you cannot walk together."

That is a lie.

From the beginning, God has shaped and prepared his people to serve. To embody the life and spirit of Jesus is to embody the heart of a servant. Our firm commitment to serve community and meet the needs of its inhabitants is a direct response to Jesus’ call to serve just like He did.
