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 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.

Today we look at Jesus' feeding of the 5,000 from John 6. This is the "Last Supper" story of John. What kind of king were the people looking for, and what kind of king is Jesus?

Today we read about Jesus' temptation in the wilderness and his declaration that "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." What is that "word" that comes from God's mouth?

Today we read the history of the Passover, the night Israel was freed from the bondage of Egypt. The Exodus will turn out to be a significant theme in Israel's history, and form a set of glasses through which to understand our salvation.

Today we read the story of Abraham and the hospitality he showed to 3 strangers in Genesis 18:1-8. We look at the New Testament vision of hospitality, and realize that the Greek word for hospitality is philoxenia (love for the stranger) which is the opposite of xenophobia (fear of the stranger). We see that love for the stranger can only happen when we know God's love for us when we were still enemies. And we ask ourselves if the message the West (and the western church) is sending to the world in regards to immigration/refugees is xenophobia or philoxenia.

We start today our Lenten series "Bread for the Journey". During these 40 days of Lent, we are on a journey to the cross with Jesus. We will eat bread, and we will be fed the Bread of Life. We will look at what the Bible has to say about bread and see how bread was present at the most significant events of the Old and New Testaments. Today's sermon is from Genesis 3:17-19, in which Adam is told that he will earn his daily bread from the sweat of his brow. In this story lie the roots of the Lenten season. Join us on this journey.

Today we finish our series on Revelation with the letter to the church at Laodicea. We concluded with these words from a video: “When you were born, you cried while the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die, the world cries while you rejoice.”
