Time after Pentecost • Lectionary 17—July 26, 2015

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: In today’s Gospel, Jesus and the disciples are with a big crowd, and everyone is hungry. So Jesus feeds them all with five loaves and two fishes, and there is lots left over. We see something similar when we put out the shopping cart here at church and it fills up with food for the hungry. This is a miracle we see all the time when people share what they have.

Time after Pentecost • Lectionary 16—July 19, 2015

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: Today I brought this mini communion set that Pastor Hörmann used many years ago. It’s old and broken, but we keep it because of the connection with our history. Each of us is broken in different ways, but God loves us as God’s special children.

Time after Pentecost • Lectionary 15—July 12, 2015

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: Today I need your help getting our altar platform as squared away. We need to look at things from time to time and fix them up this way. In our first lesson, Amos calls on the people of Israel to do the same thing with a plumb line—a thing that helps us make sure a building is straight up and down. In our lives, we have different kinds of plumb lines—laws and the Ten Commandments, for example—but the best one if the love of God that we can measure ourselves with.

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: In today’s Gospel, Jesus sends the disciples out to preach the Good News in strange places. Sometimes they will hit the target, and sometimes they will miss the mark, but they will give it a try. So today, everyone can try hitting the target with this game I brought for our picnic today.

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: In today’s Gospel, Jesus heals a woman with a hemorrhage and Jairus’ daughter. When you hurt yourself, you get a bandage; but when you feel sad, a bandage doesn’t help, so maybe you talk with someone. God heals us from every kind of hurt.

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: In today’s Gospel, Jesus and the disciples go across a sea in a boat, and there’s a great storm. Everyone else is afraid, but Jesus is sleeping in the back of the boat. The disciples wake him up, and he calms the sea. No matter how crazy life is around us, Jesus is with us, and we can feel safe.

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: In today’s Gospel, Jesus talks about what the kingdom of God is like. The book that TJ brought shows many different animals. You might not think so, but I’m sure that the animals in this book will all find a place in the kingdom of God.

Trinity Sunday—May 31, 2015

Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: You didn’t bring your favorite things to put in my red box, so we’ll use the markers the children brought earlier. This is Trinity Sunday, and what do these markers tell us about the Trinity? We can draw pictures of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but they don’t really show everything. In the end, it’s all about how God loves all of us.
