29 May 2022 - Memorial weekend
Luke 18:1-14
A stubborn widow hassles a corrupt judge for justice, an arrogant religious person tells God how awesome he himself is, and an immoral, unjust tax collector gets humble before God. Somehow all of this is connected to the Good News...and the crazy things that have been happening in the world lately.

Mother's Day - May 2022
Luke 13:31-35
Is this really a parable? And what does "mother-love" have to do with either Jesus or salvation?

Luke 10:25-37
Pastor Jenn was sick this weekend. So Barb preached two Messages from her Basket, and Pastor Jenn recorded her sermon from home. This communion Sunday recording is therefore longer than usual, but such good stuff--we hope you'll listen to all of it!
Today we looked, with Jesus, at the questions, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" and "Who's my neighbor?" (Turns out they're related.) We discover that parables work because we're usually all the characters, one way or another. And also, Jesus Himself is hiding somewhere in them, too.

Luke 1:1-4; Mark 4:33-34
Why do we tell stories? Why are there so many stories in the Bible? Why would Luke, trying to write an orderly account of the life of Jesus, bother to include so many of Jesus' stories which were, in fact, fiction?

17 April 2022 - Easter Sunday
John 20:1-10, 19-23
Five people publicly commit their lives to Jesus through baptism by immersion. Then we all learned about how prayer can form us from there: After Pausing, Rejoicing, Asking, and Yielding to the love of God, all of life can become a prayer--just as Jesus' did. (Unlike most Sundays, this week's audio includes the entire service.)

Mark 10:46-52
"Sometimes I wonder if the reason some of my prayers go unanswered is because I'm asking for the quick fix that will get me off Jesus' back, rather than the long-term solution that will bring me closer to Him." --Pastor Jenn
--------------------
Technologically, this has been the weirdest recording we have ever produced. The audio was inaudible at the beginning of the service. Pastor Jenn's mic battery died 2/3 of the way through her sermon. Therefore, all that is included here is the Message in a Basket, and the sermon up through the point where the mic died, with a re-preached audio clip attached at the end, with the end of the sermon. Thank you for your grace and patience. Good news! We're getting new equipment soon. And also batteries.
