Looking for a Miracle
Texts: Psalm 50:1-6; Mark 9:2-9; II Corinthians 4:3-6; II Kings 5:1-14; II Chronicles 20:12
Pastor Jon returns from sabbatical with a challenge for us from the story of Naaman. When we look for a miracle of God, it is not simply enough for us to pray and hope that someone waves their hands over the problem to make it go away. We must surrender our desire for a "quick fix," and do the simple things that God asks of us to do.

Texts: Job 1:13-21, 19:25; Mark 10:17-31; Psalm 90; Hebrews 4:12-16
Contrasting Job with the Rich Young Ruler forces us to consider the priorities in our own life. Our ability to face the inevitable losses and tragedy in life is determined by our perspective on life. By setting our sights on things above, we are better able to weather the storms in life.
This message extensively references a recent barn fire in Albion, ME, which you can read about here or watch a news report here.

Texts: II Samuel 1:1-27; Matthew 5:43-48
The story of the end of Saul's life forces us to confront questions about the Sanctity of Life. However, it would be good for us to remember that Sanctity of Life is not only about when life begins or when life ends, but about how we live our lives between birth and death.

Text: I Samuel 17:1-49
The story of David and Goliath is interpreted against the backdrop of superhero stories like Superman, Spiderman, or Zorro. David challenges us to not simply wait around for a "superhero" to step in and do amazing things, but to use the gifts that God has given us to make a difference in the world around us.
