U-turns are permitted in life. We grow, change, fail and succeed. We believe that God is there, that He loves us and will bring us safely through whatever life throws our way. That's why we can make u-turns when necessary with confidence and not fear. This podcast is sponsored by Trinity Christian Reformed Church in Broomall, Pa.

Today we read Exodus 2:1-10, the story of the mother of Moses and Moses' birth. Although she is not named in this story, from later texts we find that her name is Jochebed. A perceptive woman of skill, courage and faith.

Today we read 1 Kings 21:1-14, the story of Naboth and King Ahab. Ahab, who stands for Empire, wants Naboth, the faithful man, to give up his vineyard for a vegetable garden. Generational community for a fast buck (not that there is anything wrong per se with vegetable gardens).

Today we start our new summer series called "Nobody Knows Me At All". This series will focus on little-known Bible figures who made a difference. The purpose is to understand better how the “little people” - including us - can make a real difference for God’s Kingdom and encourage us to take hope in the daily, routine and sometimes mundane things God has given us to do. We will always tie their stories to Jesus, the Suffering Servant, who took the way of humility, service and death to bring about His Kingdom.
Today we study Jael, from Judges 4 and 5.

Today we take a very brief look at 1 Corinthians 15, the chapter that speaks of the resurrected body and what that will be like. We spend a couple of minutes on Plato's Cave Allegory as introduction. This is the last sermon in this Eastertide series on how Jesus' resurrection explains us.

Today we read John 21:21-22 and Acts 3:1-10. We are sent by Jesus into the world just as He was sent into the world. And we need the Holy Spirit for that. How did that work practically in the first event recorded in Acts after the early church in Jerusalem was formed?

Today we look at Acts 2:42-47, the description of the first church community in Jerusalem after Pentecost. How did they live together? What did that church look like in the light of Jesus' resurrection? And we also read 1 Peter 2:4-6;9-10 where Peter says clearly that we are a chosen people in order to proclaim......

Today we read Colossians 3:1-17. This is about how we are to live with each other. But it is much more than rules or "tips to improve your life". It's about community, authentic community in which we give grace, encourage, build one another up, and are also able and willing to correct and sharpen each other.

Today we start a new series for Eastertide, the time between Easter and Pentecost. We will be looking at how the resurrection explains us, rising from a quote by Stanley Hauerwas: "Those who follow Christ will be unable to ‘explain’ his resurrection. The resurrection will explain them.” We want to be as practical as we can about how our lives are explained by the resurrection. Today we look at Romans 6:4-11.

Today we celebrate Easter, Jesus as the Bread of Life. We read John 6:32-35. Even though it may not look like Jesus has risen because nothing much seems changed, it is true. He is alive! And He gives us life!

Tonight is Maundy Thursday. We look at 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, and realize that "discerning the body" means caring for everyone in the body/church.
