It’s Saturday

Posted by Matt Tullos April 15, 2017Uncategorized

It’s Saturday. The tomb is sealed. The guards are in position. The sheep are scattered. The light is gone. There is nothing more than silence on the other end. These are the times when we look back and replay all our errors and missed opportunities. The words we should have said… The swords we should more »

It’s Friday

Posted by Matt Tullos April 14, 2017April 14, 2017Blog, sermon readings

It’s Friday and He’s there… Suffering unimaginable traumas. He is deserted by fearful disciples, surrounded by tormentors, thieves, murderers, and religious provocateurs. Soldiers gaming over the final scant possessions of the Master of creation, ignore the darkening sky. Jesus cries out: “My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me?” On this holy day, God’s more »

It’s Thursday Evening

Posted by Matt Tullos April 13, 2017April 13, 2017Uncategorized

It’s Thursday evening. Darkness falls on a Middle Eastern city and a group of men gather around a table. Some men want answers, others want power, others conceal their furtive motives and plans, and still others resign to die. Tonight is different. In the past, their times of feasting were filled with so much laughter more »

It’s Wednesday

Posted by Matt Tullos April 12, 2017April 12, 2017Uncategorized

It’s Wednesday. Jesus remains in Bethany among friends. He is cloistered, away from the opinions of the multitude. There is peace in Bethany. (May we all have a Bethany.) This day is silent, until a worshipper enters carrying a year’s salary in the form of a rare and exquisite ointment ornately encased. The assembly watches more »

It’s Tuesday Evening

Posted by Matt Tullos April 11, 2017April 11, 2017Uncategorized

It’s Tuesday evening… Jesus returns to Bethany after a day of long and difficult conversations with friends and those who sought to destroy Him. He speaks of whitewashed tombs, of a darkened moon, of sudden separations, of a wedding and of a return. It’s all in there–prophetic signs, passionate pleas, stern rebukes and mysterious parables. more »

Holy Rags and Water

Posted by Matt Tullos March 30, 2017March 30, 2017Uncategorized

On the night of His betrayal, we enter a room of remembrance. The age-old ceremonial question from the Pesach Haggadah-“Why is this night different from all other nights?” would never be as relevent as it is tonight. We see Jesus as host and caregiver. He would feed. He would gather. He would reassure. and he would more »

The Tree that Makes Bitter Things Sweet

Posted by Matt Tullos March 29, 2017March 29, 2017Uncategorized

Tucked behind the glorious parting of the Red Sea, there’s a Jesus story. After the exultation of seeing the waters of the Red Sea part, the newly freed nation ran into other issues. A lot of people.  No water. Isn’t that the way troubles come? As soon as one crisis is averted, another new set of more »

The Hope of Us All: Remember Me

Posted by Matt Tullos March 27, 2017Uncategorized

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Luke 23:42 The two thieves represent two choices. One thief demands proof. The other pleads for hope. One looks to escape and the other looks to eternity. These choices stand as constant reminders that the cross of Christ demands a response. Hope is more »

Today I saw a Friend

Posted by Matt Tullos March 25, 2017Uncategorized

Today, I saw a Man walking a path meant for me. I saw Him bear the burdens of my wayward steps. And as He struggled, I found release and freedom. He was captured, railroaded and sentenced in my place. He could have called me a traitor. He could have called me unworthy. He could have more »
