In the Dirt and In the Light

Some Greeks come looking for Jesus. A wider audience is beginning to take notice. The momentum is building. If this were our story, we’d expect expansion, visibility—maybe even a global platform. But Jesus doesn't seize the moment. He steps into it—and says, “The hour has come… to die.” This week, Pastor Terry leads us through one of the most paradoxical moments in John’s Gospel, where Jesus defines glory not as rising higher but as falling lower. This is not just Jesus’ path. It’s ours. The grain of wheat must fall. The seed must be buried. The strange hope of surrender is why the only life worth living is the one we’re willing to lay down.

Series Information

This season, we’re taking two journeys through Lent to the resurrection. In keeping with our congregational reading through the Gospel of Mark, Terry will share devotionals from the week’s readings on Thursdays. Afterward, those gathered will discuss the implications of what we’ve read and what was shared. Over the Sundays preceding Easter, our journey will be one of Turning Towards the Cross, where we follow in Jesus’ footsteps toward that ‘first day of the week’ which changed everything.
