A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Good Friday

April 10, 2020 • Jim Johnson

This year will be a uniquely unplugged and contemplative opportunity to remember together the sacrifice of Jesus through songs, a brief message, and sharing communion.

INRI

April 5, 2020 • Jim Johnson

As Jesus hung on a Roman cross, a sign above his head mockingly declared his majesty. The words on that piece of wood reveal the ultimate irony: even as the God of the universe fully revealed himself to humanity, still we missed him.

Crown of Thorns

March 29, 2020 • Paul Basden

The King of kings deserved a crown of majesty, but a cruel mass of twisted thorns reveals the suffering he chose for our sake.

March 22, 2020 • Jim Johnson

Jesus was the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. Yet he picked up a towel and basin, revealing the scandalous humility of the incarnate God.

Table

March 15, 2020 • Paul Basden
