Guest preacher, Rev. Dr. Jim Abernathy, delivers the message. Jonah 3:1-4:5.

What God creates never stands alone, it is always made for loving connection. The creativity of Jesus and the Church reconciles and reintegrates all that might appear isolated and alone. Genesis 1:28-31; 1 Cor 12:12-27.

Even though we have ears, still we may not hear. Creativity requires a deep listening to people, to what is being made, to the world. This kind of holy perception waits patiently until what is needed can be truly understood. Romans 8:19, 22-23; Mark 8:11-21.

Creativity requires risk. Learn from the risk of a courageous child forging an unexpected future for her brother and a suffering people. Genesis 1:3; Exodus 2:1-10.

Before God ever utters a creative word, God’s Spirit first “hovers” over the chaotic waters. Explore and embrace the creative power and promise of holy patience in a rushed and rushing world. Genesis 1:1-2; Luke 4:1-13.

We too easily spend our time being “driven” rather than “drawn in.” As the New Year begins, slow down to explore God’s rhythm of creation and renewal, and rediscover your own. 1 John 4:7-9; Luke 4:14-21.

Silent suffering swirls around us, and within us: from grief to the anguish of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Psalm 88 does not let that suffering go unnoticed. And the family of God cannot either. Psalm 88.

One of the most famous stories in all the bible is a parable Jesus told. But it’s not just an object lesson about helping others in need. Jesus is rarely that simple.
