Brewing Theology With Teer

Prayer is a way for us to yoke ourselves alongside Christ.  The Son of God is offering to come alongside us, to share the load so that we can keep moving forward. We can keep moving forward being fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, friends and neighbors, and people who have committed to living lives together, living as a witness to the resurrected Christ.

If we are truly going to live as a church with “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors,” truly being welcoming and anxiously awaiting the opportunity to receive new disciples of Jesus Christ, then we need to understand that because our relationships with one another, those sitting next to us and upstairs are a witness the the community declaring that our hearts, minds, and doors have been opened.

Jesus talks about his coming death on the cross. Peter has another idea. However, there is one way for reconciliation to happen. Jesus outlines how and the disciples are confused because they don't have the benefit of seeing the empty tomb yet.

I have the greatest job in the world. This past weekend I had the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with 35 youth as they confirmed their faith, reaffirmed their baptisms, and committed to follow Christ. As part of confirmation weekend I had the opportunity to give a message on Romans 3:1-8, circumcision of the heart.
