When the disciples went to sleep on Saturday night, they were sure death had won, that the Roman Empire and religious authorities had succeeded. Sunday morning offered a new and unexpected response. New life is not limited to an Easter morning
Join us as we ponder the meaning of the crucifixion and how we might be impacted by the death of Jesus today.
This Sunday is Palm Sunday. Jesus is headed into Jerusalem and the crowd/mob turns his arrival into a parade, For the moment, they only see Jesus as an answer to their problems, a fulfillment of a promise. They have placed their own expectation
The disciples offer Jesus food. He's been talking to someone next a well. His response is purely Jesus- it becomes a teachable moment. What does food mean for you? Is there another place for us to get our nourishment?
After Jesus's initial encounter with the woman at the well, we discover more about her and she becomes part of the good news. Join us this week as we continue the story of Jesus and the woman who was transformed in meeting him at a well.

We turn our attention to a questioner who made his way to visit Jesus under the cover of darkness. Our questioner, Nicodemus, probably had a variety of reasons to show up at night and we'll explore our own propensity to ask questions and someti
This represents the first message in a three-part series about gratitude as an attitude worth cultivating.
Who really wants to be persecuted? And yet Jesus tells us, Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.What would it look like to be persecuted for the sake of "righteousness?" This
This week we turn to the #peacemaker #beatitude:How blest are the peacemakers; God shall call them sons and daughters.Those who bring and make peace are called "God's children" by God!
Hunger and thirst are primal instincts that emerge from deep within. Both #hunger and #thirst are triggered when our bodies want to tell us we need food and hydration, not just want it. Jesus uses this image of hungering and thirsting to descri
As I sat pondering the passages for this weekend, I could not hope but notice a recurring theme of humility. Honor can only come from the other and not from a false sense of personal value. The passage from Hebrews sums it up as:Let mutual lov
For a fair portion of my life, I was not a morning person! Even now I suspect I am not a morning person though I get my most focused work done early in the day rather than later. What is this focus that Jesus brings up in Luke 12:35-40 about ke
Busy? Martha gets that. This Sunday, we will look at Luke 10:38-42 and learn how Jesus' visit to Martha's home creates questions for her (and I think us) about life. It isn't always either/or? Or is it? Join us Sunday at 11am in person or onlin
Presented with the commandments in Deuteronomy, the Israelites struggle to figure out if they can live into those commandments. The commandments seem to them high above them and out-of-reach. The word that comes to the people is one of reassura
The prophet Elisha has taken over in the work of Elijah. A request for healing comes to the king of Israel form a rival king and leads to turmoil that only Elisha in his work for God can solve. Kings and prophets are not roles or people that se
At the height of his work, Elijah runs away into the desert. Sometimes I think I understand where he was coming from. He had given his best and he felt overwhelmed. What good was the work he was doing? What difference did it make? Elijah's answ
Sunday we are exploring Jesus' transition from daily ministry to Jerusalem. While the transition itself is important, on the way out of town Jesus runs into a blind man, Bartimaeus. That encounter is important for Bartimaeus. What might we disc
This Sunday is a day in the church year called Pentecost, a day to celebrate when the “church” became the church with an outpouring of Spirit. Now two millennia later, we are going to ask what this Pentecost means for us and how Spirit plays in
This Sunday is Ascension Sunday in which Jesus was carried up into heaven. And this week we were reminded again of the tragic pain and suffering in the world around us. What does the ascension mean for us today in this stressed out world and
In the end of John's gospel, Simon becomes concerned about the disciple Jesus loved. Jesus tells him not to worry about the "beloved disciple." I wonder what it would be like for each of us if we focused on our own spiritual journey instead of
After breakfast on the beach with Jesus, Simon has a conversation where Jesus asks him about love. "Do you love me more than these?" Why ask this question of Simon now? Since we get to overhear them, what are we meant to learn from the conversa
Jesus appears to the disciples several times, first to Mary in the garden, then to most of the guys that evening, and then a week later to Thomas and others. Some time later, Simon heads out to go fishing with several of the other disciples. Je
Is there is such thing as having no doubts? We have a person in Thomas who has been caricatured as "the Doubter." I was raised understanding that this doubting was not a good thing. Don't be a "doubting Thomas." And yet I have found myself befr
