Love is Greater than Fear
<div>Our scripture reading for the third Sunday in Lent is on the story of Peter’s denial. Peter didn’t just deny Jesus once, but three times and in doing so is also denied who he himself was and is. How did Peter end up in this position? To answer that, I decided to take a bit of a different approach and open with two imaginative letters. The first is a rather accusatory letter to Simon Peter from some imaginary future followers of Jesus Christ and the second is a response to that letter. Through Peter’s denials, the action of a guard of the high priest, and Jesus’ steady calm presence and commitment to the truth we can ask ourselves questions like, How am I like Peter and How do follow in the path of Jesus? <br /> </div>

Welcome Our Guest Preacher, The Reverend Leslie Jackson
<div>This week, we welcome the Reverend Leslie Jackson to the pulpit of First Congregational Church. Since late last year, Rev. Jackson has served as the Area Conference minister for the South Central Region of the SNEUCC, of which we are a part. As an ACM, Rev. Jackson supports clergy, congregations, and associations of the Region as they live out the love and justice of Jesus in their communities. He works closely with Committees on Ministry, supporting their leadership within seven Associations and guiding congregations through the search and call process with strategic insight and steady accompaniment.<br /> <br /> Over the past decade, Rev. Jackson has served as a pastor, preacher, and justice advocate in Houston and New Orleans. His work includes nonprofit collaboration, interfaith engagement, and board service with organizations across Texas. His ministry centers on justice, transformation, and helping communities rise with hope.<br /> </div>

If You Can't Learn to Weep, You Can't Be a Good Christian
<div>Jesus wept. ~John 11:35<br /> <br /> It’s the shortest verse in the Bible—the first scripture verse I memorized—and perhaps the most important one I’ll ever remember.<br /> <br /> Jesus wept.<br /> <br /> When his friend Lazarus was sick, Jesus did not come right away. When he finally comes, he asks Martha an odd question. “Do you believe in resurrection?” Martha says she believes, but true to the Gospel of John training plan, she misunderstands. She believes in resurrection on the last day, but Lazarus has been dead in the tomb for four days. As the coroner in the Wizard of Oz says, “he’s not only merely dead, he's really most sincerely dead.” <br /> <br /> But there is a part of this story that has always amazed me. It is verse 35, “Jesus wept.” At least that’s what old King James says. Our translation says, “Jesus began to weep.” Either way, it is the shortest verse in the Bible.<br /> <br /> I have come to believe, over 40 plus years of ministry, that it is also one of the most important verses in the Bible. But why did Jesus weep when he knew that Lazarus would live again?<br /> <br /> I will suggest in my sermon on Sunday morning, borrowing a phrase from my friend, the Rev. Mary Luti, that Jesus knew if you don’t learn to weep, you can’t be a good Christian. <br /> <br /> And so, Jesus weeps, to show us how.<br /> </div>
