Forest Hills Mennonite Church

Into Jerusalem | Palm Sunday

As Jesus enters into Jerusalem, is he acting as an authoritative king or a humble servant? Maybe the paradox of Palm Sunday is that as we follow Jesus, we see that he's both—at exactly the same time. 

Into Service | Lent V

The call to follow Jesus involves embracing one of Jesus' central identities—servant. Jesus served. So should we. As profound as this simple truth is, there are complexities to service, too. 

Into Conflict | Lent IV

God becomes incarnate in the midst of a world rife with all types of conflict, from interpersonal to religious to political. To follow Jesus means that we are invited to enter into conflicts the way that Jesus did. 

Into Friendship | Lent III

Near the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus calls his closest followers together to call them by a surprising title: friend. To follow Jesus, then, means to be a friend of Jesus—and to deepen our friendships with those around us. 

Into the Wilderness | Lent II

Who follows Jesus into the wilderness? As much as prioritize walking in Jesus' footsteps and following His example, the journey in the wilderness and the struggle before His execution remind us that Jesus accomplishes things on our behalf that we cannot accomplish for ourselves. 

Follow Me | Lent I

If Jesus is who He claimed to be, how do we respond to Him? The invitation Jesus offers again and again is simple, yet profound: "Follow Me."

One Church Worshiping in Multiple Locations

If the author of Ephesians is correct, and there is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one Body, then everyone who gives allegiance to Christ shares in a fundamental unity—one that disrupts every barrier we humans create.

All Together Now

If the church is a body, how is it responding to the environment we find ourselves in? If we're individually members of this one body, how do we structure our relationships together?
