Gadsden Vineyard Church
We're all familiar with the depiction of the Good Shepherd from Psalm 23. But let's take a look at this comforting poem in light of the visceral lament just before it and the unrestrained song of triumph right after it, and see with fresh eyes how all three were pointing the way to Jesus.
The Easter season continues with a conversation about doubt, and about how we give grace to ourselves and each other in the midst of it. Jaimie highlights the story of Thomas in the gospel of John, pointing out a few things we might not have noticed before about his character, as well as what we can learn from the way Jesus and the other disciples show him grace.
Jim describes the pain of Good Friday, the grief of Holy Saturday, and the unlikely victory of Resurrection Sunday. We can probably expect Jesus's second coming to be just as surprising as his first.
On Palm Sunday, Pastor Jaimie Jones talks about praying with expectancy but not expectation, and how we carry our disappointment to the Lord when our prayers don't get answered in the way we wanted.
