Listen for stories of people who did just that throughout history. Sermon based on Matthew 16: 21-28. Comment below with your thoughts. Are you able to be a disciple of Jesus and take up a cross? What will be hard about that, and how can work through those hard parts? Let me know!

On Sunday, we had our big installation party! It is not too late to leave us a blessing or donation by looking at this blog post. Bishop Wayne Miller preached the sermon, and this is the message I gave at the end of the service. More videos plus audio of Bishop's message will be published later this week. The texts of the day were: Exodus 18:13-22, Ephesians 4:11-16, and Matthew 28: 16-20.
Where is Jesus? How do you look for him? What do you do when you find him? Listen here for some ideas. Based on Acts 1: 6-14 and John 17:1-11, Ascension Sunday, Seventh Sunday of Easter, Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church
