Second Sunday of Lent

Sermon: A Fresh Look at the Story of Jesus

Scripture: Mark 8:8-33

passion_of_christ3.jpg
 
Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”   And they answered him, “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”   He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah.”   And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him. 
 
Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.   He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.  But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.” 
 

Lent is a time of reflection and renewal.  

The church has purchased Lenten Devotional books as a resource to  guide you through this season of the year.   Psalm 51:10 says, "Create in me a clean heart, O God." Isn't that what Lent does for us? In Fellowship of Prayer 2014,  Julie Richardson Brown shows us how all days, not just those during Lent, are sacred opportunities for introspection and renewal.   You can pick up your copy from the table in the lobby (narthex) of the church.  If you prefer to read on an electronic reading device, you can purchase your own copy at: http://www.chalicepress.com/Fellowship-of-Prayer-2014-EPDF-P1424.aspx

"What Matters" is a feature length documentary about three friends, two idealistic activists and one skeptic, attempting to live in poverty, on $1.25 a day, across 3 continents. The adventure takes a devastating turn when two of them survive a deadly plane crash in Africa, and all three must fight to finish what they started. 

The showing will take place on Thursday, March 13th from 7:30-9:00 pm, at the Burbank AMC Town Center 6. Tickets cost $11.00, and a portion of the proceeds will go to fighting extreme poverty in the US and abroad. Reserve tickets at www.tugg.com/events/8085

Meditation & Prayer
Silence is hard to find in our busy modern life. Yet, silence has been an integral quality of spiritual practices throughout history. We are offering two times for you to participate in a time of "spiritual silence" in our beautiful chapel. We hope you avail yourself of these opportunities and find them meaningful.
Saturday 7:30-8:30 AM
A bell will ring to mark the beginning and end of the silent time. If you enter after 7:30AM, you are welcome - just enter quietly if you can.
Sunday 8:15-8:45 AM
We will begin with 15 minutes of silence, then read a passage of scripture on which to meditate. We will close this time with a brief verbal prayer or the ring of a bell.
