Everybody Always
Matthew 16:13-20
Three Minutes at a Time
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist but others Elijah and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

Elements
For many, religion is a taboo subject at best and a curse word at worst. It’s likely in a contest with politics over which might be the least desired conversation topic. Because of the excess of some expressions of religion, it’s become popular to abandon the idea altogether, preferring some sort of ‘spiritual, but not religious’ posture. Yet not all expressions of religion are toxic and there are many benefits to faith that only religious structure can offer. Reclaiming the idea of healthy religion might be the thing that can save us from the milieu of moral relativism and passivity.
Join us this Lenten season as we embark upon a new series and seek to examine the elements of the Christian religion – how they formed and why they still matter today.
Author David Dark says, “Life’s too short to pretend you’re not religious.” This Lent, let’s reclaim these building blocks to form a religion that is truly worth having.
2023 Lenten Devotionals
The theme for this year’s Lenten journey is “Elements.” The weekly messages
will focus on different elements, or building blocks, of our religious lives, such as communion, baptism, the liturgical calendar, and sacred spaces. Why are these structures and rituals important to us? What other building blocks have been important in your faith?
We would like you to share an element of your religious life with your Tapestry family, together with a song or a photo that represents that element. All you need to do is send an email to office@gototapestry.org, attach your photo or song with your name and a brief description of it and how it represents an element of your religious life and experience. If you are sending a song, send a link to a publicly accessible performance, such as YouTube, or the song title and artist. If your photo is a hard copy, please call the church office and let them know you would like to bring it in, or bring it on Sunday with your written explanation and your name. Daily emails will begin on Ash Wednesday, February 22nd and continue through Easter Sunday.
Please send your submissions by Sunday, February 19th.
We hope it will make the journey through Lent more meaningful as we explore these building blocks with our church family.
