In this week’s episode of One Thing More, Kim and Jamalyn break down the importance of Sabbath - taking a break from work and responsibilities for a period of time. They talk about how people often feel like they have to do everything themselves, and how surrendering control and allowing others to take over can be a good thing. People often put too much value on their identity being tied to their work and responsibilities, and that taking a Sabbath can help remind us of our true identity as God's creation.

In this week's episode of One Thing More, Jamalyn and Kim discuss the sermon from the previous week about the story of the ten lepers who were healed by Jesus, and the one who returned to thank Him. They focus on the fact that the one who came back was a Samaritan. They also talk about a book called "She Got Up Off the Couch," which is a memoir by Haven Kimmel about her mother's journey. Kimmel’s mother grew up in poverty, overcame her difficulties, and went back to college, ultimately graduating summa cum laude. Kim shares her own zigzagging story of how she started at RCA, working on the factory floor, and worked there for 20 years, moving around and up before leaving to attend seminary.

The issue of same-sex marriage has been debated at General Conferences of The United Methodist Church for fifty years, and since 2015, the pressure around this issue has increased. On February 19, Zionsville UMC gathered together for one worship service as well as a question and answer session to talk about what is currently happening in the denomination and how we, as a congregation, are responding. In this week’s episode of One Thing More, hosts Jamalyn and Kim continue the conversation and share their thoughts on what lay in store for Zionsville UMC over the coming months.

Anyone else under the weather? The crud is going around the church office but we’re all working on being healthy. This week Kim and Jamalyn work through the blahs to about Sunday’s sermon and the ways in which it has stayed with them this week. Which part of the Prodigal Son story resonates with you most? Which gift would you be most excited to get? Have you ever received a gift you were utterly unprepared for?

This week, Kim King and Jamalyn Peigh Williamson, talk about the Good Samaritans they have found in their lives and what it means to be a good neighbor to the people around them. Who is your neighbor?

And it’s not like there were lots of people walking around with this name. There is no record prior to this moment of anyone in Aramaic or Greek culture being named “Rock.” The only one named Rock is GodThe Messiah is thought of as a political ruler to lead the chosen people into societal ruling.

We start on the previous Sunday as we celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.Palm Sunday | We remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover with his family and disciples.Maundy Thursday | Maundy Thursday is an alternate name for Holy Thursday, the first of the three days of solemn remembrance of the events leading up to and immediately following the crucifixion of Jesus. The English word "Maundy" comes from the Latin mandatum, which means "commandment." As recorded in John's gospel, on his last night before his betrayal and arrest, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples and then gave them a new commandment to love one another as he had loved them (John 13:34). Good Friday | Good Friday is a day that proclaims God's purpose of loving and redeeming the world through the cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is a day that is good because God was drawing the world to God's self in Christ. As seen in John's gospel, particularly, God was in control. God was not making the best of a bad situation, but was working out God's intention for the world — winning salvation for all people. We call it "good" because we look backward at the crucifixion through the lens of Easter!Easter | Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb on the third day after his crucifixion. Remembering the resurrection of Jesus is a way to renew daily hope that we have victory over sin. Greek Notes | Get thee behind me, Satan, Jesus says. And we feel the sharp sting of the rebuke. But there is a small note of grace. In the temptation narrative, after Jesus had endured all the attacks of the devil, there he spoke a single word: “Hupage Satana!” (Begone! Flee from my presence!) Here the phrase is slightly different: “Hupage opiso mou Satana!” (Not “begone,” but “get behind me.”) Origen (church father from the 3rd century) suggests that Jesus is saying: “Peter, your place is behind me, not in front of me. It is your place to follow in the way I choose, not to try to lead me in the way you would like me to go.” Get behind me, and become my follower again. “For if anyone wishes to come after me,” Jesus continues, “let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.”

Give us your top 3 Bible character favorites.Can we just hang out here? Where is somewhere you want to remain? Have you been to church camp? Where did you go? What do you remember most? You can’t stay around the campfire. In real life, the majority of your life is spent down from the mountain or not around the campfire. So now what? How do you go from a moment of mountaintop high to everyday living of routine and schedule?Mountaintop moments give you the experience of living life with joy and excitement. These moments also remind you to be on the lookout for where God’s glory shows up in the everyday. You are called to seek out joy wherever you find yourself.Is there something you are giving up or adding for Lent? Sacrifice something in order to remember the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. Don’t remove something just to remove something, remove something or add something so that when we do or don’t do that thing we are focusing on Jesus, not the thing we are adding or removing. That thing, is only a tool.Episode Notes and Links:Sunday Sermon link | https://www.zumc.org/sermons/2022/3/1/blinded-by-gloryRev. Kim King | Kim has been a practicing therapist since 2007.
