Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?

Is Jesus still in the habit of inviting himself over for dinner? How might we respond to such an invitation? And how would our response shape our ability and desire to gather at Christ’s table with siblings near and far, like us and very different?

Holding Fast to Life

We continue in the Gospel of Luke, a gospel that focuses our attention again and again on our use of resources and our treatment of those in society who are most vulnerable.

Shrewd in Spirit

Today we spend time with possibly Jesus’ most perplexing parable! Why on earth does Jesus seem to commend the dishonest manager and what is Jesus, along with the gospel writer, Luke, trying to tell us about money, resources and fullness of life?

Lost

Today marks the 21st anniversary of 9/11. We lost so many and so much on that day, yet we have a God who searches wholeheartedly for each one.

Table Talk

Jesus attended a dinner at the home of one of the religious leaders.  Jesus offered advice about more than just table manners…he was talking about Kingdom manners.

Set Free

Join us on Sunday to hear more about the “bent over woman” and explore what it might mean for us and our world today as we continue to seek freedom from that which binds or diminishes us.

Faces of Our Faith: Eutychus

Who on earth is Eutychus? Join us as we ponder Eutychus’ story, his experience in that upper room and how he might encourage us in relation to those who have “fallen” in life or “fallen away” from the life of the church.
