2023 Small Group Lenten Bible Study

Rachel Wolf • February 8, 2023

Lent is a time to prayerfully reflect and reconnect with God. You are invited to join us on a Lenten journey to deepen our faith and deepen our community as we walk towards Jerusalem in search of new life and resurrection.

 

This year’s theme is The Currency of Christ: A Devotion Through Coins in the Bible . Using excerpts from Jill. J. Duffield’s book Lent in Plain Sight: A Devotion through Ten Objects , we will explore the ways the imagery of coins is used again and again in scripture. In the Bible, coins are precious items to be found when lost; they are sometimes given to God in offering or used as a means to cheat innocent victims. Coins were used to test Jesus and to betray Jesus. Coins symbolized more than just currency in Jesus’s day, and money (in the form of coins, cash, checks, credit cards, and NFTs) continue to play a large part in our own society. How might coins help us experience the holy in our everyday lives? How can these ordinary objects serve as a means of grace or a connection to the divine?

 

Our Lenten Small Groups begin on Sunday, February 26 with a Kick-Off Luncheon in Calvin Hall following worship and the Congregational Meeting. Whether you’re new to Bible study and small groups or whether it’s your favorite part of church, all are welcome to join us!

Sermon 02.22.2026: Living, Dying, Rising

By Rev. Marci Glass • February 22, 2026
The rhythm of living, dying, and rising is the story of our faith, and the rhythm of our lives. We worship a man who rose from the dead. After he had lived. And after he died. As we enter the season of Lent, we'll focus on the story of Lazarus, and see how living, dying, and rising affected him and his community.

Sermon 02.15.2026: Blinded by the Light

By Rev. Marci Glass • February 15, 2026
In John's Gospel, the signs Jesus performs are supposed to point people to see who Jesus is, to connect them to God. But in the sign of the blind man receiving his sight, it doesn't seem to work. When Jesus' signs don't match what we know to be true in the world, do we dismiss them, explain them away?

Sermon 02.08.2026: The Gift of Desperation

By Guest Preacher Mark Yaconelli • February 8, 2026
Many of us feel things are falling apart-either in our personal, professional, or public life. How can suffering invite us toward deeper freedom, integrity, and trust in God? How can our helplessness transform us into the people God has created us to be?

Sermon 02.01.2026: Shallow Wells

By Rev. Marci Glass • February 1, 2026
We live in a world full of shallow wells, creating a thirsty, isolated world. There’s a lot of anxiety in the world, in the church, because we turn to those shallow wells and are never satisfied. Jesus offers the Woman at the Well living water. What would it take for us to leave our water jars by our wells so we can ha

Sermon 01.25.2026: Normalizing the Light Nicodemus and the World We Accept

By Rev. Victor Floyd • January 25, 2026
Salvation is not an exit plan! It's God’s deep commitment to redeeming what the world has learned to call normal. God does not abandon the world’s brokenness but enters it to make it whole.

Sermon 01.18.2026: How to be Angry Like Jesus

By Rev. Joann Lee • January 18, 2026
What makes Jesus angry? Injustice, exploitation, and religious complicity with corruption and power, among other things. Tom Morello said in the 80s, "If you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention." Perhaps it is time to join Jesus in overturning some tables.

Sermon 01.11.2026: Come and See

By Rev. Marci Glass • January 11, 2026
Jesus' baptism is where Christian community begins. The community Jesus creates comes about because of non-anxious invitation. Inviting people to see Jesus is not a popularity contest or a numbers game where we measure victory by budgets, attendance, or other measures. As we claim and remember our baptismal promises,

Sermon 01.04.2026: Nations Shall Come to Your Light

By Rev. Marci Glass • January 4, 2026
Join us as we celebrate Epiphany, when the magi journeyed to see Jesus, and receive our Star Words. The prophet Isaiah preaches to people in exile a word of hope. Even as they walk in thick darkness, he tells them that nations will come to their light. How did Isaiah's prophecy come true in the story of the magi?

Sermon 12.28.2025: Jesus, A Refugee in Egypt

By Rev. Joann Lee • December 28, 2025
Not long after the birth of Christ, King Herod's fragile ego led to the slaughter of innocents. Jesus and his family, however, were able to escape this massacre by seeking refuge in Egypt. When we welcome immigrants and refugees, we welcome Jesus who knew what it meant to be displaced and how it felt to have to leave h
A black night with a lit up Christmas tree - the text reads ‘the people who walked in darkness’

Sermon 12.24.2025: The People Who Walked in Darkness

By Rev. Marci Glass • December 24, 2025
The prophet Isaiah tells the story of people who walked in darkness. He also tells of how God shines light into the dark and shadowy places where people walk. What is our call, as followers of the Christ child, to reflect God's light for people who are walking in darkness today?
