Federated Church began as a “federation”
or combination of two congregations each
with its own denominational heritage, the
Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and
the American Baptists.
Today, it has grown to be an exciting and
dynamic church of more than 240 families
from 34 Christian faith traditions.
Welcome to Sacred Space!
What makes this moment holy is not that
you are among a community of faith or
that you are entertaining religious
thoughts. What makes this and every
other aspect of your life sacred is that you
are sharing it with God.
Federated Church exists to help anyone
and everyone live out this truth. Toward
this end we seek to be four things to all:
✦ A place where you can gather
with others in worship
✦ A place where you can learn to
imitate Jesus Christ
✦ A place where you can discover
and embrace your Spirit-fueled
mission and ministry
✦ A place where your relationship
with God is enhanced as you
relate to authentic companions

Scripture Lesson
Luke 24: 13–35
NIV 2011
The Walk to Emmaus
13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus,
about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other
about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these
things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;
16 but they were kept from recognizing him.
17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”
Page

Order of Worship (cont’d)
They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked
him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things
that have happened there in these days?”
19 “What things?” he asked.
“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in
word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our
rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;
21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel.
And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22 In addition,
some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning
23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a
vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions
went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not
see Jesus.”
25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the
prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things
and then enter his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the
Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures
concerning himself.
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued
on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with
us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay
with them.
30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it
and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they
recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each
other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the
road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the
Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true!
The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35 Then the two told what
had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he
broke the bread.

Message
Walking with Jesus
❖
Rev. Jon Carlstrom
Message Points ❖
FOCUS: The Christian experience is a daily walk with Jesus. It is more that an
occasional awareness or a casual encounter. The way to truly recognize Jesus
in our lives is to experience Jesus daily through spiritual practices and service.
❖ Luke doesn’t try to describes the resurrection or explain it. Rather his account
focuses on eyewitnesses who recount their experience.
❖ Emmaus may be derived from the Hebrew word hammat (“hot spring”). Luke
places the village about seven miles northwest of Jerusalem. The Crusaders
discovered a fort in 1099 called Castellum Emmaus and built a church there.
❖ One of the two on the road was named Cleopas, a Greek name. The Semitic
form of the name is Clopas and is identified in John 19:25 as the husband of
one of the Marys present at the crucifixion. We do not know if Cleopas and
Clopas are the same person on the Emmaus road but very well could be.
❖ The resurrected Christ meets the two on the road to Emmaus. They are kept
from recognizing Jesus as he engages them in conversation.
❖ Jesus teaches them from the scripture things that relate to the Messiah.
❖ At the breaking of bread in the home their eyes were opened and their hearts
burned within them.
CONCLUSION: This scriptural account reminds us that the living Christ meets us where
we are on life’s journey and walks with us. The companionship of Jesus opens
our eyes and ignites a passion within us to declare the gift of new life.

Wednesday Activities at Federated
Bible Study with Pastor Jon at 4:30 pm
The Acts of the Apostles
A study relevant to the life and ministry of Federated Church
Acts is the hinge book of the New Testament, standing between the Gospels and the letters to
the churches. It records the origin and growth of the Christian movement, telling us how the
first believers lived out Christianity.
Studying Acts raises questions such as Is this a pattern for us today? Why is our experience
in the Christian life so different? What would it take for us to experience Christian community
like the first Christians did? How can we influence the world like the Christians in Acts?
Federated Church is in a time of transition. The Book of Acts can teach us much about being
the church in challenging times. Come and join this study with Rev. Jon Carlstrom!

This is the church of our dreams. A church
adequate for the task. A church of warm
heart, of open mind, of the adventurous
spirit; that knows no division of culture or
class or denomination ... the church of the
Master, the church of the people, the
church of the living God. ~Moore

Wrong Worship Seven Ways
Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name. (Psalm 29:2)
Concluding from last Sunday...
7. Remember: worship is a verb.
And it’s an active verb at that.
Worship is something we do, not something done to us.
In the worst of circumstances, I can still worship my God. In the Philippians
prison, while their backs were still oozing blood from the beating they’d
received, Paul and Silas worshiped (Acts 16:25).
Even if a church has no pastor and has to make do with a stuttering layman
or some inept fill-in, I can still bow before the Lord, offer Him my praise, and
give Him my all. I can humble before Him and I can bring my offering.
What I cannot do is leave church blaming my failure to worship on the poor
singing, the boring sermon, or the noise from the children in the next pew.
I am in charge of the decision whether I will worship, and no one else.
Someone has pointed out that ours is the only nation on earth where church
members feel they have to have “worshipful architecture” before they can
adequately honor the Lord. Millions of Christians across the world seem to
worship just fine without any kind of building. Believers in Malawi meet
under mango trees, according to retired missionary Mike Canady, and their
worship is as anointed as anyone's anywhere. (What? No stained glass!)
Our insistence on worshipful music, worship settings, and worshipful
everything are all signs of our disgusting self-centeredness.
It’s disgusting because I see it in myself, and do not like it.
No one enjoys a great choir more than I. I love to hear a soloist transport
us all into the Throneroom by his/her vocal offering in the service. A great
testimony of God’s grace and power thrills me. And of course, being a
preacher, I delight in hearing a sermon that you feel is direct from the heart
of God.
But if I require any one or all of those before I can worship, something is
vastly wrong with me.
My friends, something is vastly wrong with us today.
Excerpted from a May 20, 2011 writing by Dr. Joe McKeever,
a preacher, cartoonist, and retired Director of Missions for
the Baptist Association of Greater New Orleans.

Warren Stevenson in FL (returning early June).
Mary Nelson spent a few “interesting” days in a
Gainesville, GA hospital, delaying her return
home. She’s recovered enough to be restive
and anxious to come home!
We continue praying for Dick Ward, who will
undergo some medical tests on Monday.
Our prayers are also with Nancy Runnels as she
travels to Indianapolis on Monday for a
followup medical visit.
Condolences...
...to the family and friends of departed Roger
Blalock, a long-appreciated encouraging
presence at Purdue and in the community.
