  • The Road To Easter Runs Through A Cemetery

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Apr 23, 2014
     | 4,930 views

    Good Friday was a necessary part of the Easter journey. The sermon shares a Leonard Sweet story about bell-ringing. (Each person who came to worship received a bell as they entered.)

    They thought it was over. Jesus was dead and buried. The religious folks sighed with satisfaction. His followers wept in grief. But they were wrong! They were all wrong! From this side of Easter, we can call Friday “Good” because we know that it was not over, all had not been ...read more

  • Resurrection Adrenaline

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Apr 23, 2014
     | 2,718 views

    Easter was a time of Adrenaline for the disciples, but the two walking to Emmaus missed it... until Jesus became known to them.

    When I told people about my family’s plans to spend a day at the Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course last month, some nodded, others gave a look of questioning, and a few responded with one word, “WHY?!” Researchers tell us that younger generations are drawn more than ever to ...read more

  • Because He First Loved Me

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Apr 23, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,553 views

    No matter the circumstances of baptism, it is God who does the work because God loves us before we love God.

    We may not know the nine verses of Frederick Whitfield’s 1855 hymn, “O How I love Jesus,” but I’m guessing most of us know the refrain: O, how I love Jesus; O, how I love Jesus; O, how I love Jesus, because he first loved me. Because he first loved me. Before I could do ...read more

  • Are All Sparrows Equal?

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Jun 15, 2014
     | 7,128 views

    Bad things do happen to good people. In Matthew 10, Jesus warns the disciples what will happen to them on their mission and then he reminds them that they were, are, and will be precious to God!

    It is clearly in our nature to rate and rank others. When Jesus tells us today that we are of more value than sparrows, we’re probably not surprised, but we may wonder about the hierarchy of creation. We’re worth more than sparrows, and sparrows are certainly worth more than ...read more

  • Handing Over The Keys

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Sep 7, 2014
     | 5,334 views

    The authority to forgive (The Office of the Keys) has been given to us, but we don't use it.

    Church life on the prairies of the Midwest is often quite different from church life here (in Arizona). Small congregations of Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, and German origins are slowly dying out, and since we no longer preach in the languages of our mother-lands (Thank God!), and because ...read more
