    Building Solidarity

    Scripture: 1 Peter 2:2-10The first letter of Peter calls the early church to build themselves upon Christ as the chief cornerstone: living stones becoming a community and spiritual temple. But building on that “stone that was rejected” may cause us to think about how we build. How can we form a spiritual community strong enough to be a shelter for those in times of trial and open enough that our walls do not cast out or isolate those we are most called to love and welcome?

    On the Road

    Scripture: Luke 24:13-35Two disciples wonder at what may be true in the resurrection story as they travel together, and we wonder at how we might especially find our hearts open to receive the risen Christ when we travel and meet each other more fully face to face.

    Resurrection: What Are We Afraid Of?

    Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10In Matthew’s telling of Easter, the day of resurrection is framed by fear: rulers afraid of what resurrection might mean for their power, guards frightened by blazing visions… but Jesus greets his followers with the song of the angels, “Be not afraid.” How does Easter’s news make us bold in the face of all that might try to bury love, and brave in our sharing of God’s love which brings new life?

    Resurrection: Fast and Slow

    Scripture: John 20:1-18Jesus is not where people expect, and so there is a race to the tomb to see what is happening… But moving, thinking, and even looking for Jesus may not always work at speed. What happens when we slow ourselves to look, to think, to wonder more deeply at the resurrection news of Easter? The post Resurrection: Fast and Slow appeared first on Foreside Community Church.

    Getting to Empty: Un-Kinged

    Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 Philippians 2:5-11We follow Jesus into Jerusalem and join in shouts of praise. We, like those crowds long ago, too often try to bend Jesus into our own form of just another emperor or king. Instead, we are shown the grace-filled leadership of self-emptying. How do we follow in his way, making space for one another so that we might live more wholly as a people? The post Getting to Empty: Un-Kinged appeared first on Foreside Community Church.

    Getting to Empty: Unbound

    Scripture: John 11:1-45Jesus goes to his friends Mary and Martha at the death of their brother, Lazarus. Like us, Mary and Martha are sure that their grief could have been avoided. But Jesus sits with them and weeps at the reality of their loss… and then, something changes. The post Getting to Empty: Unbound appeared first on Foreside Community Church.

    Getting to Empty: High Expectations

    Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:1-13A young shepherd is called to be a King… and so we still look to one who we call a “Good Shepherd” to lead us. But what is it about these workers in the flock? Is leadership just directing the path? Or could it be that leading also contains listening to the shape and seasons of the land to guide us safely?
