What Are You After?

Run into anyone famous lately?  It's always interesting to see how people respond when they find themselves in the presence of a celebrity - someone famous.  We get awed or "wowed" by people we find to be impressive in some way.  Then, we get to name drop later, as if some of that impressiveness rubs off on us.

You wonder if that might have been a little of John the Baptism must have felt when he saw Jesus that day as he was speaking and baptizing in the Jordan.  You wonder what the disciples who heard John's announcement, and then turned their attention to Jesus.  When they come, Jesus asks them, "What are you after?  What do you want?"  And they respond, "Where are you staying?" There are some pretty amazing things that came out of that conversation that day, that is the conversation that Pastor Jon invites us to reflect upon as he unpacks that conversation in the sermon this Sabbath, as we prepare to celebrate communion together.

If you would like to listen to the sermon again, or perhaps for the first time, you can access our sermon library here.  If you prefer to watch the entire service, you can access our livestream version here.
