Our Humble Lord (Johnson)

Holy Week and the Palm Sunday ride, we encounter one of the most loved events of Christ’s life! Palm Sunday is a moment of wondrous celebration ahead the quiet contemplation of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. But we not only come across a loved story, we also encounter and amazing story. Let’s remember, Jesus, who is riding a humble donkey, is the LORD who is spoken of in Psalm 121. On Palm Sunday we see the LORD of the Universe who nonetheless chooses to take up the humble ride into the Holy C...

Who Do You Work For? (Johnson)

We know that we all have to earn a living. You have to make ends meet. You must work or have an income that follows you into retirement. But the question is a good one, namely, “Who do you work for?” Our Gospel reading today reminds us that whatever we do for a living, like the first Apostles, in this Gospel, like Matthew (Levi) we are employed by the Lord Jesus in His work! And all of us would agree, working for Jesus is “Always Better” no matter what we do! Amen? Amen.

Trust Me (Johnson)

Though it may sound silly, sometimes we think we know better than God. Living in relationships such as bosses with workers, parents with children, friend with friend even...we can say that there are times when or the other knows better how things should be and should be handled. But not so with our Lord. We never “know better” than He does. In fact, today we’ll remember that leaning into God and trusting His every word is “Always Better” for us and for our lives....

Making Something Out of Nothing (Johnson)

Let’s face the reality of our reality today! First of all, we must admit that even the poorest of us in this congregation is blessed beyond belief in comparison to the rest of the world. When we consider how much we have versus how little others have...we have to admit it...we are blessed! Amen? Amen. But that brings up the great curse of our lives...yes...our blessings can in fact be a curse. We can have a tendency to make something out of nothing when we make our blessings out to be more impor...

Craving Recognition (Meyer)

Sadly, our society has a propensity for “Craving Recognition” if not outright grabbing at recognition. We want to be noticed; we want to receive accolades; we want people to pay attention to us! But what the Lord has for us is “Always Better” and what the Lord has for us in this arena is honoring, praising, and glorifying Him and His holy name and not our own. Today we remember that pointing to Jesus instead of ourselves is “Always Better” and always will be!
