SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, May 4, 2025

Dear Friends in Jesus –

Jesus spent a lot of time on the road. From Egypt to Bethlehem to the temple at Jerusalem. Then he left Nazareth to find his cousin to be baptized, then to the wilds and back. He was on the move.

So it shouldn’t be a surprise that he encounters two fellows with dashed hopes and heavy hearts, trudging home dispirited and defeated. “We had hoped…” for what? for whom? Certainly not the One who lived briefly, died violently, and rose unexpectedly rejoining on the road to Emmaus two of the clueless who stood at the foot of the cross.

Come to church. Hear of the work, be strengthened for the work and be inspired to do the work of the God who cozies up beside us, who won’t leave us in despair.

See you Sunday!

In great anticipation,
