He is bread, light, way, shepherd, gate, vine, and resurrection. As we begin to see him as he truly is, we find the unexpected: our lives painting pictures of Jesus that this world can see.

John 11 tells the story of Lazarus; a story in which Jesus and Martha have a conversation about Resurrection. In it, Jesus offers new life, not just on the last day, but also today; here and now for everyone who may believe. He offers Lazarus raised from the dead; walking, talking proof that he really does have power to grant new life, right here and now in ways we might think impossible. http://pearlchurch.com/sermon_files/10_01_31__John_11.mp3 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 02:16:00 -0500 29:59 Epiphany, John, The Resurrection, New Life, Belief, Here and Now Melissa Monner Christ is the true vine.

A Pearl Church tradition on every first Sunday of a new calendar year; our Pastoral Staff shares about high and low points from 2009, lessons learned, and hopes and dreams for 2010. Our goal for this sharing is two-fold: that our pastors would be known by our church, enabling us to pray for and support our pastors well, and that the transparency modeled by our staff would be infectious, spreading throughout on church in the form of honest conversation and community. http://pearlchurch.com/sermon_files/10_01_03__Pastoral_Reflections_2010.mp3 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 01:42:01 -0500 34:25 Tradition, Pastoral Staff, Hopes, Dreams, Lessons Learned, Community Mike Roth This life is full of brokenness and more often than not difficult to navigate.

What does Jesus mean when he claims to be the Way? And how are we to respond to and apply this claim in our lives? Depending on how we read the passage and understand "the Way," we'll arrive at different conclusions. When we read "the Way" accurately as a metaphor, we realized Jesus is more than the way to heaven when we die, he's actually the way to live our lives here and now as his followers who enact the Kingdom of God. http://pearlchurch.com/sermon_files/09_12_20__John_14_1to6.mp3 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 22:49:01 -0500 28:41 Advent, I AM, John, The Way, Metaphor, Kingdom of God Francis Rubio It's often easy to overlook how outrageous Jesus is when he claims that he is Light. Our experience of Jesus seems to hang on our decision on whether he is worth believing or if he is as crazy as the Pharisees think he is.
