This week we examine a not-so-subtle translation anomaly that occurs in the Word. Sometimes the "places" that we are going are not necessarily a physical place but a place of anger, fear, angst, or even peace. Please join us today in the journey that took place in the book of Acts, trying to find a place of peace.

In this first Sunday after Easter podcast, Pastor Russ looks at the story of doubting Thomas from John's Gospel and raises the question: Was it really about doubt or fear? What keeps us from believing in and doing God's work more often?

In this Easter message, Pastor Russ reflects on the story found in John's Gospel about how a distraught Mary made her way to the tomb only to find that God stands at the tombs of our lives putting God's claim upon us, and says, "Yes you can!" when the world seems to be telling us, "No you can't!"

It's the final meal: the Last Supper. More than a remembrance, it's transformation and now is the time for the disciples to get the message (Lk 22:14-27; Jn 13.12-16) Listen as Pastor Russ shares Jesus' final teaching: love one another as I have loved you— by serving, forgiving, freeing, communing—becoming one with God.

This week, as we continue with our series, "Entering the Passion" we invited to place ourselves in the crowd on the Temple steps listening to Jesus' teaching. Will we be moved and motivated by his words, gaining a faithful perspective for our lives, or go with the status quo?

The banality of our everyday lives sometimes seems ludicrous in the face of such suffering around the world. In this week's episode, Pastor Russ looks at what we might do to reassess our own actions and make our own corner of the world (our “temples”) a more welcoming place for all people.

In this episode Pastor Russ talks about Transfiguration Sunday and Jesus taking Peter, James, and John to the top of a mountain where he is transfigured before their eyes. Transfiguring moments are all about allowing ourselves to come back down off the mountain and begin doing the hard messy work of God, and allowing ourselves to be transformed in the midst of it.

The parade that is the Season of Lent has begun. Bystanders vied for position along the route. What risks are we willing to take? In this new worship series, Entering the Passion, Pastor Russ invites us to put ourselves in the individual frames of Jesus' final week and risk it all just as he risked it all for us.
