Welcome Kevin & Jan to Robin's Nest!


Kevin & Jan Rutledge, serve as missionaries with Mission to the World (Presbyterian Church of America) in Frankfurt, Germany and are NC natives. They work with the many refugees currently in Germany, teaching German, English, camps, etc. For more info, check out our Facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/focuson.frankfurt.9

"We are so grateful that you are letting us live in your spacious Missionary House, Robin's Nest. Jan had some medical issues that required us to come back and we had to scramble for flights and housing as the Covid-19 virus was hitting Europe hard. This has been a quiet place to regroup. Thank you!" - Kevin & Jan

Please feel free to send Kevin & Jan a card welcoming them to our community.  You can get the address by contacting the church office.  Kevin & Jan plan to be with us until September of this year.  Please pray for them as they navigate health concerns during a time of quarantining.  Sharing your favorite local places with them in a card or Facebook message can help them navigate our community.  The PathFinder's Class is working on gathering a few items the kitchen needs to help cooking be a bit easier.  We hope to refurnish the porch and living room this year as well as replacing the outdoor carpet with linoleum.  Robin's Nest has blessed our church family to connect us with missionaries like the Taylor's in Thailand and the Young's in Kenya.  Welcome Rutledge's who serve in Germany!

An Alabaster Jar Matthew 26.6-13

Jesus is about to pay for our sins and restore us to the Father. In the next several weeks there’s a turn towards the cross.   Matthew 26 is days before the cross.   The setting is Bethany.   Jesus and His disciples spent time in Bethany.   Several times per year Jerusalem would swell with people because of festivals and events.   For example, at Jesus’ birth Jerusalem was full.   This is the scene.   Jerusalem is packed.   Jesus had friends in Bethany, outside of Jerusalem.   The home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus was located there.   They are in a different house close by for the final preparation for the cross.   Luke tells us this is the primary purpose of Jesus’ coming to this world. In Matthew 26 the opening verses are a powerful demonstration of what it means to value Jesus.   How do we value Jesus? How do you know what something is worth?   We can search online to get a feel for what something is worth. ...

Why should I be Baptized? Luke 3.21-22

Baptism is a special time for us; it's a special moment in the life of the church.  Baptism also reminds us of our own baptism.  My parents were very involved in church.  My dad filled and drained the baptistry.  As a kid I was fascinated by the baptistry.  In summertime as a kid my cousins and I would practice baptizing one another at the pool, playing games and dunking one another.  Baptism is meaningful and it's also unusual.  It's different than anything else you do.  You don't see baptism anywhere else, so what is it and why should someone be baptized?  The baptism of Jesus is in Luke 3 in two verses.  It's actually one sentence in the original language.  As we read Jesus' baptism it's a time to think about  our own baptism.  There's some reasons we baptize: Baptism connects us to believers throughout history.  Baptism is something we have celebrated as a church for a couple thousand years now.  Mil...

God’s Call: Genesis 12.1-9

We all have our callings and how do we live out our callings with so many distractions?   How do we make sense of what’s happening?   God’s Word doesn’t change and always remains the same.   It speaks deep into our hearts.   Abraham is a tremendous figure in the history of the world and Abraham knew about loss.   In Genesis 12:1-9, God calls Abraham and God calls us as well.   Abraham has and will experience a tremendous amount of loss.   Everything is disrupted.   Abraham understands when life doesn’t make sense.   There’s a reason for this.   God wants to bless the world through Abraham.   God will bless those who bless Abraham and will curse those who curse him.   We are all asking why this is happening in our world today.   How do we understand our calling?   God speaks into our lives.   In chapter one God calls Abraham to leave the known and venture into the unknown.   We can relate to this.   We...
