I Am... The Gate
April 30, 2023 • Rev. Amanda Meade • John 10:1–10
This Sunday, we ask 'Who is Jesus'? He says he is the gate, the one that lets the sheep in and out to pasture. How does this gate invite us to be a particular kind of community, how do healthy boundaries, help us to be the church?

We know we are getting close to Holy Week, when death is staring us in the face, like in the story of Lazarus.

Seeing God's Glory
March 19, 2023 • John 9
This week we explored the story of the blind man being healed, and how everyone around him just wanted to point fingers and find out who to judge. What if instead, we spent our time, pointing at Jesus, in awe and wonder, seeing the light he brings to the world. How have we gotten to see God's glory, through Jesus in our own lives, in our church and in the world?

The Push and Pull of Jesus
March 5, 2023 • Rev. Amanda Meade • John 3:1–17
On Sunday we learned how weird John's Gospel can be, especially in the story of Nicodemus, feeling the push and pull of Jesus. He starts out in the dark asking questions, but if we follow him throughout the story, he finds a way into the light to defend and care for Jesus. He is anxious and unsure, just like us these days, but also like us, he is hearing the spirit move around him through Jesus and cannot resist. Where do you see the spirit moving in FCC Louisville right now?

In-between Stories
January 15, 2023 • Rev. Amanda Meade • John 1:29–42
This week we learned the importance of liminal spaces, of in-between stories like the one we heard between the baptism of Jesus and the famous call stories of the disciples. These spaces invite us to ask ourselves the question Jesus asks the disciples, what are you looking for? The disciples respond they want to know where Jesus is staying, where does he abide., that is where they want to be. How can you draw close to Jesus this week, how do you find your way to where he is staying in your life, your family, in your church?
