Message
Mike's Message
Sunday Sermon:
"The King and His Kingdom" (Acts 13:13-25) Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, riding on a colt (Palm Sunday) demonstrates that God has become King of heaven and earth through Jesus, and reveals the nature of that kingdom. In Acts 13, Paul tells the story of Jesus to a Jewish Synagogue as the fulfillment of Israel's story-the promise that God will restore the whole creation and once again reign as King. With Jesus, that reign has been inaugurated, and we are participating, in bringing about the vision of the Lords Prayer-that God's kingdom would come and his will be done on earth as in heaven.

Several have asked for copies of Seth La Tour's moving poem from Sunday, so here it is. (Thanks Seth for providing it)
18 March 18
It's right now.
It's this morning.
Sunny. Mid 40s. Almost spring.
We woke, many of us,
in a village on a bay
in the Pacific Northwest.
We drove to this gathering
in vehicles of various
shapes and sizes.
Some drove alone.
Some with a van full of kids
wanting a donut
wanting a IPad
wondering are we almost there?
Some drove thinking of kids
who today are grown,
living far away.
Drove wondering how they're doing,
when they'll see them next.
We sit together here
in community
and we are all of us
more or less alive.
We gaze in our own unique ways
on the beauty of the Lord.
Some days it's harder than others to see.
There're one too many things
on the calendar.
Teething, the boy was up all night
and so were you.
There's no sky for the low clouds
and never-ending rainfall.
The diagnosis isn't what you expected.
She won't stop taking the pills.
He who once leapt into your arms,
weightless,
wants nothing to do with you.
Your body, with which you once
flew and twirled through the day,
is failing,
is aching,
is falling apart.
And yet,
and yet,
these are all true in the midst of His righteousness.
He will keep me safe.
I will seek his face.
I will hide in Him.
He will welcome me home.
It's this morning.
Sunny. Mid 40s. Almost spring.
What will you do with the day?
