Writer David Brooks’ concept of the “Second Mountain” speaks to a profound spiritual truth: that our lives are a journey from being centered on oneself to being centered on living in a way that creates a better world for everyone. The first mountain is self-centered. The second mountain is centered on a life committed to others. In this sermon series, Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka will explore God’s call to us to move from the first to the second mountain. Brooks says we achieve the second mountain through four commitments: commitment to calling, family, faith, and community.

Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord...This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. –John 21:12-14 Support the show Contact Village Presbyterian Church villagepres.org [email protected] 913-262-4200 Have a prayer request?  [email protected] Facebook @villagepres Instagram @villagepreschurch YouTube @villagepresbyterianchurch To join in the mission and ministry of Village Church, go to villagepres.org/giving

While Jesus is in the garden with his disciples, Judas comes with high priests and soldiers to arrest Jesus. “Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, which say it must happen this way?” Find out all that is happening on both our campuses during the sacred season of Lent—beginning with Ash Wednesday on Feb. 18 and leading up to Easter Sunday on April 5.

Jesus asked a lot of questions. By one scholar’s count, Jesus asked 307 questions recorded in the gospels. Jesus liked to ask questions more than he liked giving answers. As Jesus was both fully God and fully human, you would think he would go around showing off how much he knows, but he did not do that. In fact, we only find eight times that Jesus answered a question asked of him. In this sermon series, we will explore four questions that Jesus asked to better understand Jesus and how he wants us to live today. John 5:2-9 – Jesus meets a man who has been lying by the pool at Bethesda for 38 years, and he asks the man a seemingly absurd question. Sunday service times are 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 4 p.m. at the Mission Campus in Prairie Village, Kansas, and 10 a.m. at the Antioch Campus in Overland Park, Kansas.
