Message: "Only an Invitation"Follow me image from Mark 1:14-20
Questions for God’s People, the Church to consider:
So what are the nets that entangle us?
What are the little boats that contain our life?
Who are the fathers from whom we seek identity, value, or approval?
What do we need to let go of and leave behind so that we might follow him?

message: "How Do You Know Me?"
Questions to consider in light of today’s Message:
1. How might it alter your self-image to think of yourself as God's "work-in-progress?”
2. How does the message of belonging to God conflict with the domi-nant messages of our culture?
3. What do you think prevents a person from trying to "be Zusya" rather than to "be Moses?”

"Imagination opens up possibility, but sometimes we do not dare to imagine something as beautiful as God." ~ Nanette Sawyer, 21st century
"Wonder is the basis of worship." ~ Thomas Carlyle, 19th century

Epiphany of the LordMessage: "Star Followers"
We are celebrating “Epiphany” today in worship. Actually, Epiphany is January 6. But, what does it mean? What difference does it make? The Apostle Paul once described our understanding of God as be-ing like seeing through dark or frosted glasses. If someone was standing outside that window, we’d know they were there, but we’d have trouble working out who it was. It’s the same with seeing in the dark. We can pick up the broad outline, but we can’t make out much detail.
"I don't need to wait for the sky to open in front of me. On any day, I can wake up and choose to journey toward God.” ~ Suzanne Guthrie
