April 9, 2023 • Rev. Brian Sixbey • Psalm 118, Matthew 28:1–10
Jesus’ resurrection happened quickly, but it took time for his disciples to understand it. Likewise, our adoption as forgiven children of God happens in an instant and yet it takes a lifetime to live into. Forgive us our impatience when we want you to “fix” us but grow weary of the hard work of transformation. Help us to become patient with You, each other, and ourselves so that you can use us as instruments of transformation for others, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

God Saves - Maundy Thursday
April 6, 2023 • Rev. Brian Sixbey • Psalm 116
Why is this night different than other nights?
Because this is the night when our sin and our death
passed over us and onto Jesus.
So, are we here to celebrate, or mourn?
We are here to mourn Jesus’ death, and celebrate his
resurrection – because his death is our life, and his
resurrection is our celebration!
