Happy Endings
Ascension is a time of happy endings.  Jesus concludes His earthly ministry and returns to the Father's right hand.  He sends His disciples to share the Gospel message "to the ends of the earth."  Today that mission continues as we are called to be His witnesses and proclaim the message of life and salvation in Jesus Christ.

    Following Jesus without Embarrassing God
    We have the hope of eternal life through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus.  We are saved by grace through faith.  Now we are called by God to put that Christian faith into action.  In the Epistle lesson for today, St. Peter gives us words of encouragement and advice as we strive to follow Jesus and live our Christian faith every day.

    God at Work
    Today we hear the account of the stoning of Stephen.  He was the first martyr of the Christian church.  God was at work in Stephen, even in the midst of his suffering and death.  God is still at work in our world and in our lives.  Nothing, not a coronavirus pandemic, not even death, can separate us from God's love.

    Beyond Survivor – Reality Faith
    No season, even one as joyous and victorious as Easter, is without some kinds of suffering.  It's good to know, in the midst of any kind of suffering, that we are not alone.  The Good Shepherd stands ready in every season to lead His flock with loving care!

    Seeing Things God’s Way
    When dealing with troubles and adversities, when facing a worldwide pandemic, it's easy for us to get discouraged and lose hope.  It's easy for us to forget God's Word and God's way.  Today we are reminded that God has a plan for our lives and He is the One who give us hope for today and for eternity.

    The Voice of Peace
    On the evening of the first Easter Sunday, the disciples of Jesus gathered in fear and uncertainty behind locked doors.  Suddenly Jesus stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."  Today Jesus speaks a word of peace to us.  No matter what troubles and adversities we face, Jesus is there with us to give us hope and strength and peace!

    Good Friday
    Today we remember that Jesus took our place on the cross.  He suffered the pain of death and separation from God the Father so that we will not be separated from God eternally. He was condemned so that we might be declared - Not Guilty!

    Maundy Thursday
    On this Maundy Thursday, we remember the events of the final days of Holy Week.  From His washing of the disciple's feet to the institution of the Supper to the betrayal by Judas, the Church walks in the footsteps of Jesus to see our salvation unfold before us.

    Palm Sunday
    Palm Sunday takes us from the joy of the crowds shouting their "Hosannas" to the pain of the cross as Jesus is crucified.  This reflects our lives as we experience times of joy and celebration and also times of heartbreak and suffering.  The Good News is that Jesus is with us always.  The hour of His death is the hour of our salvation!
