This morning, we celebrate a baptism!
In today's sermon, Deacon Lyn shares some reflections from the Great High Priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17. In this remarkable prayer, Jesus gives a picture of His glory, and an example of our relationship with the Father.
Happy Mother's Day! Today, we're lookin g at 1 Peter 3, which gives us a seemingly impossible instruction. We aren't to repay evil for evil.
In order to accomplish this, we first must know who we are, what promises God has made us, and get practice within community. Mothers give us a beautiful picture of the self-sacrifical love of Jesus that makes this a reasonable and posisble response.
Kids these days.....
For all the frustration that the questions and challenges of young people can give to their elders, they play a critical role in the life of God's People. This role is on display in Deuteronomy 6, where instruction is given for answering the challenges of the younger generation about these "testimonies, statutes, and rules."
Perspective is critical on this question, as we seek to entrust the glorious gospel of Jesus to the next generation.
1 Peter 2 calls unjust duffering a gracious thing in the eyes of God. Does that mean God wants us to suffer? Not at all. We take a look at this passage, addressed to people who were suffering horribly, and discuover that for the first time in human history, suffering is separated from holiness. Those who suffer unjustly didn't have it coming. Instead, Jesus meets them there and assures them of His great love for them.
Burning Hearts: Faith, Hope, and Love on the walk to Emmaus
Deacon Lyn shares today from Luke 24 - a well known passage about walking with Jesus after the resurrection.
Thanks for checking in with St. Timothy today!
On this Sunday after Easter, we are remembering God's wonderful covenants. Throughout history and scripture, God has bound Himself in contracts with His people. Again and again, he takes all the responsibility, and our job is only relationship - made fully possible in the New Covenant of Jesus.

Thanks for joining St. Timothy today for worship. We are celebrating the resurrection together!
Peter grew up with a long list of things to do that made him a "good" person. The truth is, we all have a mental list of what makes someone "good."
When confronted with a group of people in Acts 10 that didn't fit his list, but who were obviously full of the Holy Spirit, Peter had to make a choice: his list, or his lord.

The light of Christ! Thanks be to God!
This was the first Easter Vigil at St. Timothy in a long time, and was so exciting.
We read and remembered the mighty acts of God, and discuss our great need for a heart transplant.
When Paul writes in Rom. 6:11 to "consider yourselves dead to sin", it's not about getting our perspective right in our own will, but about acknowledging the miraculous work of Jesus in our souls.

As we continue to look at the example set by Jesus in His Passion, we move from humility to submission, but remain completely in the radical love of our Father. The call to serve, be served, and obey the will of God is grounded completely in His love for us and our trust in Him.

Hosanna to the Son of David! Today, we welcome our king as we begin Holy Week, and quickly recognize that the road of His Kingship was also the road of his Crucifiction.
This Holy Week, we are looking to the example of Jesus, praying that the way of the cross would be the way of life and peace. It begins with our king, the God of the Universe, being humble.
