The Implications of Easter – Because He Lives (5/4/25)

May 4, 2025
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, we continue our teaching series, The Implications of Easter, by turning to the earliest New Testament writing regarding the Resurrection.  Following Paul’s teaching to the people of Corinth, we come to recognize that the historic event of the Resurrection is the foundation of everything we believe as people of faith.

The Implications of Easter – This Changes Everything (4/27/25)

April 27, 2025
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, we start a new teaching series titled, The Implications of Easter. Easter, and the Resurrection were never meant to be a standalone event in the life of the church or in history. The Resurrection broke history, and changes everything in our lives of faith, in our community and in our world. And it calls us to respond.

Easter Sunday – Look Again (4/20/25)

April 20, 2025
This morning, at Lyons-Muir Church, we celebrate Easter Sunday by journeying to the tomb with Mary, Peter, and John.  Even though we have heard the story before, today we “Look Again” at the garden and recognize that we are all called to live as Easter People in a Good Friday world, and that Jesus calls each of us by name.

Good Friday – The Cross of Love and Power (4/18/25)

April 18, 2025
This evening, at Lyons-Muir Church, we celebrate Good Friday together by walking through the story of Jesus as he moves from garden to courtyard, from the courtyard to his trial, from trial to the cross, and from the cross to the grave.  We remember his sacrifice this Good Friday and recognize that God does his best work from the tomb.

Grieving with God – Community & Process (4/13/25)

April 13, 2025
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, we conclude our teaching series on grieving with God by studying the fifth and final chapter of Lamentations. After all the trauma, drama, and tragedy that surrounded Jeremiah, he concludes his writing by restoring his relationship with God. In the same way, when struck by grief in our lives, we are called to reconnect with God, who is with us in our grief.

Grieving with God – Value & Grief (4/6/25)

April 6, 2025
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, our teaching series, Grieving with God, continues as we turn to chapter 4 of Lamentations.  Sometimes we feel as though we have lost our shine. Sometimes we question whether we have any value at all. But our value, our identity, is not determined by our present situation. Our identity and our value are ascribed by something else, by someone else.

Grieving with God – Confusion & Chaos (3/30/25)

March 30, 2025
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, we continue our teaching series, Grieving with God, by looking at the last section of Jeremiah’s third poem.  In a raw and real cry out to God, we wrestle with what it looks like to seek God in the chaos in life. At the same time, we remember that the worst thing that can happen to us is never the last thing. That God works through the chaos.

Grieving with God – Silence & Hope (3/23/25)

March 23, 2025
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, our teaching series, Grieving with God, continues with a look at silence.  Sometimes, we reach out to God in prayer, we cry out in our grief and God is silent. But silence is not the same as absence.  And in the times of God’s silence, we are invited into a time of remembrance, of all that God is and has done in our lives.

Grieving with God – Destruction & Structure (3/16/25)

March 16, 2025
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, we continue our teaching series, Grieving with God, by turning to chapter two of the book of Lamentations. In this poem, Jeremiah paints a picture of a city crying out. Many of us recognize this kind of grief as places and spaces in our lives fall into chaos. But threaded through it all, we find simple structures that lead us on our healing path, one step at a time.

Grieving with God – Suffering & Sadness (3/9/25)

March 9, 2025
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, we begin a new teaching series titled Grieving with God.  As we move into the season of Lent, we begin our journey in the book of Lamentations, a book of poems that share the reality of sadness and sorrow at the destruction of Jerusalem. As we dive into the realities of suffering in our lives, we find that suffering is something we all experience. But even though sometimes it seems as though God is absent; He is there in our suffering the whole time.
