3minuteConversation • Epiphany!
This is an offbeat version of our weekly video. We meet the "three kings" and get the messages that are revealed in the story of the Magi. Then off to Division High School to celebrate Christ's birth in song.
3minuteConversation • From Sad to Happy
Savannah talks about something that she found sad, which eventually turned into "happy". Isaiah's words on Sunday help people see hope for healing even when they are experiencing a sad disability.
And there's yet another version of O Come Emmanuel we think you'll really like.
3minuteConversation • O Come Emmanuel
An introduction to the song: O Come O Come Emmanuel with the beloved Mary Jane Witte.
And then an Advent classic: If Jesus came to YOUR house!
3minuteConversation • Who Rules?
John talks about who rules his life as we prepare for the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.
3minuteConversation • Deadline
Allie talks about facing a deadline. And the gospel this coming Sunday makes us think about the ULTIMATE deadline -- the end of the world. The song helps us ask are we "all in" as members of the church or halfway there?
3minuteConversation • Heaven! Yay!
Olivia asked people in her family what they thought heaven would be like. They had some pretty good ideas. (Yay!) We also went back in time to Division Ave High School's Chorus's rendition of Do Not Stand by my Grave and Weep. You see, the gospel is all about everlasting life this coming Sunday.
3minuteConversation • Turning around
Adam is back and tells how discouragement gets turned around by some supportive words. In the gospel Zacchaeus gets turned around by a visit from Jesus. And check out the cameo appearance by Father Joe with an important announcement.
3minuteConversation • Doubt
Emma talks about time when she had some self doubt.
Jesus challenges those who have no doubt that they are better than everyone else.
In his parable the person who prayed humbly was closer to God than the one who bragged in prayer.
We go to Division Ave High school to get closer to God as the chorus sings "Nearer my God to Thee"
3minuteConversation • Nagging!
Adam got nagged by his sisters and in the end he's glad they did.
Jesus tells the story of a woman who nags an evil judge to hear her case.
But God doesn't need to be nagged to hear us.
But maybe we need to be nagged to go to church each weekend
3minuteConversation • Gross and Disgusting!
Zoey tells of the most gross and disgusting thing she ever had to do.
But that doesn't compare to the REALLY gross and disgusting conditions at the time of Jesus. Still, that doesn't stop Jesus from having compassion to people who everyone else avoids because they have a disease that people think is too gross.
3minuteConversation • Service
James tells of a time he spontaneously offered service to others.
And check out the video of previous year pet blessings.
3minuteConversation • Regret
Ben recalls a couple of times that he regretted not taking action.
But each day gives us a chance to accept new opportunities.
