Conversations with Jesus

We are experiencing a Kairos moment as a world.  Kairos (καιρός) is an Ancient Greek word meaning the right, critical, or opportune moment.  Kairos moments are life changing and life altering.

The “pause” button has been pushed.  The old “normal” may never return and we do not know what the new “normal” will look like.  Jon Davis mentioned the Hebrew word “Selah” last Sunday.  Selah invites us to pause and consider what God may be saying even when we don't fully understand.

As we continue to walk through this Selah and Kairos moment we are going to move to a different sermon series.  The title of the series is Conversations with Jesus.  I don’t know about you, but even though we can have conversations over the phone and FaceTime and Skype and Zoom...NOTHING is a substitute for in person conversations.  Eye contact, facial expressions and touch are lost in translation or non-existent.  But as Christians we worship the God who came near - Immanuel - God with us.  Jesus doesn't do "social distancing."   So for the next seven weeks we will take a close look at conversations Jesus had with individuals.  Some of these conversations go well for the individual involved and others do not, but each conversation is a kairos moment.  

May we be those who selah long enough to hear the conversations Jesus continues to have with us through His Word and His Spirit and may they be kairos moments resulting in healing, help and hope for us and glory, praise and honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Here is a look at where we will go during this series:

4/26 - Jesus and a Paralyzed Man (John 5:1-16)

5/3 - Jesus and a Tax Collector (Luke 19:1-10)

5/10 - Jesus and a Mother (Matthew 20:20-28)

5/17 - Jesus and a Pharisee (John 3:1-21)

5/24 - Jesus and a Samaritan Woman (John 4:1-42)

5/31 - Jesus and a Rich Man (Mark 10:17-31)

In Christ,
