Today's message focuses on how good Christians used scripture to justify slavery.

On Easter we remember that nothing can stop heaven from releasing hope into the world.

Love, according to Jesus, has everything to do with serving others, even in the most detestable work. This is the manner of love he taught his disciples in John 13, on a night when he understandably might have chosen a different path for himself. Right before he was crucified, Jesus shunned the power that was rightfully his; instead, he chose to perform a demeaning task for the benefit of his disciples. My hope is to explore what it means to humble ourselves and serve the people in our world.

On the first Palm Sunday, as they lined the streets greeting Jesus' arrival, they shouted "Save Us!" They wanted a king to save them. He turned out not to be the king they wanted, but the king they needed. And so do we!

Scripture says to trust God with all that we are. And we can because God is trustworthy, but sometimes we miss it. Listen and learn how God demonstrates his trustworthiness to us.
