Here in our city, these are some of the most trying times in the last 50 years. Does Jesus have a word for us as we are so burdened by all that is going on? This week we look at how a very hard day in the ministry of Jesus can actually minister to us as well.

Jesus returns home but doesn’t experience the type of homecoming one might expect. It could be said the townspeople are out of joint. Those we’d expect to greet him with adulation instead take offense at him. But it’s not just them who is out of joint—so are we and so is our city. Oh, how we need the Lord to draw near us in this time.

In Mark 5, everything people are afraid of actually happens... and Jesus is still there. He slows the story down, treats death like something temporary, and refuses to let fear have the final word. What if the good news isn’t that fear goes away, but that it no longer gets to be in charge?

With New Years around the corner, the world starts whispering to us: January is coming, now is the time to fix yourself. Be better, Do more. But what if, while our world keeps chasing productivity, our souls are actually craving rest. In this Christmas carol, we consider the history, theology, and Jesus’s invitation to give rest to weary people.

When I came to faith in Christ at age 19, I found it remarkable that many of the Christmas songs I had sung in my childhood spoke of Jesus. I knew of a silent night and a holy night...but I couldn’t tell you of their significance. Though prominent in so many songs of the season, the birth of Christ was lost on me. In this Christmas carol, we consider the history, theology, and glory of the Incarnation – that God became a man – which is good news of great joy for all people!
