ADVENT/CHRISTMAS SERIES: “Light One Candle” The word Advent means ‘coming.’ It is the season of expectation. God is coming. Are we ready to welcome him? This is a season of preparation for the coming of the Lord. One of the oldest practices for preparing for God’s coming is the lighting of candles. The burning candle is symbol of being awake in the dark and watching for the one coming. |

EPIPHANY SERIES: “Health & Wholiness” Jesus was not only a teacher. He was a healer. God’s interest in restoring the creation to wholeness is central to the mission of Jesus in bringing the Kingdom to earth. God is not only concerned with holiness – but Wholiness, that is, in all of us living complete, full, healthy, whole lives. The notes provided here for the preacher are extensive. |

LENT SERIES: “A Daring Faith for Dangerous Days” In this series we will look at some of the dangerous situations Jesus walked through, and how they are echoed in our own faith-walk. He was fiercely tempted to abandon his faith in a 40 day spiritual conflict with the devil. King Herod, who’d assassinated John the Baptist, was now rumored to be plotting not only to resist Jesus but to kill him. Clearly Jesus models and encourages a daring faith for dangerous times. This series has extensive notes and outlines. |

EASTER SERIES: “Fly Like An Eagle” God means for all in Christ to soar like eagles. This Easter season our series will use the image of the eagle in flight to describe new possibilities the resurrection of Jesus creates for us all. Each week we’ll look at a set of wings the risen Jesus provides us to help us fly through and rise above various earthy things that try to ground us or clip our wings. In a broken world we often deal with our own broken or tired wings. The Easter gospel announces that God has new wings for us that are spiritually strong, healthy, and freeing. There are extensive notes provided here. |

PENTECOST SERIES: “Got Spirit” This is a fascinating four-week series on the Holy Spirit and living a life in the grace and power of the Spirit. The four images will be Spirit as Wind, Power, Counselor, and Water. The purpose of the series will be to get people more familiar with who the Holy Spirit is and what the Spirit does in the life of the church and the faith-walk of the believer. The texts for each week will all speak to the topic and theme of the day (most are not from the appointed lectionary). |

PENTECOST SERIES II: “Ready to Be Free” The hallmark of Christianity is freedom. Jesus once said ‘you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.’ And the greatest apostle of all time, Paul wrote ‘for freedom Christ has set us free, never again submit to any yoke of slavery.’ When we become Christians and are baptized, we enter a new life, and the chief mark of that new and different way of living is freedom, being free – living free, thinking free, acting free. Paul went on to urge believers to never again let anyone or anything steal their freedom. |

PENTECOST SERIES III: “Get Well” When someone is afflicted with illness we often send ‘Get Well’ cards with prayers and best wishes for healing and recovery. Obviously, we’re not sending them a command: Get well! That would only add to the stress they already feel and impolitely put the burden for the recovery on them. While it’s true that patience can participate in their recovery in various ways, it’s not really up to them. So ‘Get Well’ is more of an invitation, and a shared hope in the possibility of wellness. |

FALL SERIES: “Restoration Steps to Health” This nine week series is a longer one. Don’t worry. The directness and depth of the topics will keep people engaged all the way. The theme of ‘Restoration’ in the Gospel readings will be tied to very real issues people face, with steps to wholeness. The Gospels from Luke will be integrated with spiritual steps that guide us in recovery from a slew of maladies we experience in body, mind and spirit. God, our great Physician in Christ, comes to restore what is broken, unhealthy, fallen, hurting, or dying. Christ is the resurrection and life. He calls us to respond with steps of faith that lead to restoration and life. This series comes with extensive notes. |
