November 26, 2023

Pastor Nate Roschen

We are forgetters. I know that’s probably not a word, but it’s true. We are people in constant need of reminders, lest we wander off and lose sight of what we’re living for. One of the great tools of combating our forgetfulness and tendency to drift off – is to tell stories. We love stories, real and imagined. Our homes are cluttered with books. My office certainly is. Every month we gather at the communion table to recall to our minds the most impactful story we have ever taken in. The reality of Christ’s sacrifice for us is told again, and again. We remember. Rarely do the actions of another so completely define us. We may be influenced by the faith of a grandparent, the steadfastness of a friend. But what Christ accomplished for us on that cross ought to change everything about us – our motivations, where we place our concerns, our hope. Join us this communion Sunday as we remember together why Jesus came to us.
