Traveling Companions
The story of Jesus on the road to Emmaus guides this Sunday. It’s an account that invites us to contemplate how we live into our understanding of “resurrection” and the role of our “traveling companions” on this sacred journey.
Who Are You Looking For?
Let us open our hearts and spirits this Easter to receive the glorious news once again. As our own cups are filled, may our lives become vessels that carry that life giving news to others.
Can These Bones Live?
These stories from Ezekiel and John talk about hope. During this particular time and place, what do our hearts and lives need in the way of hope and how are we called to share that hope with others?
Who Sinned?
Jesus’ healing of a man born blind raises all kinds of questions. What kind of questions are good and what kind are bad? In what ways did the blind man see/perceive while the others did not?
Will You Give Me a Drink?
The story of Jesus asking the Samaritan woman for a drink inspires us to reflect on how we can learn from his example and cross boundaries to engage others?
How Do We Begin Again?
How have we experienced “beginning again” in our lives? Why do we sometimes resist it? How might God be inviting us to “begin again” this Lenten season?
First, Listen
This week we begin with the story of Eve in the Garden and Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness. These accounts remind us of something essential…that seeking begins with listening.
Divine Gardener
What is our role in the divine garden? And how, by the grace of God, will this garden grow?
Scandal
How and why would God work through a cross, symbol of death and powerlessness, in order to reveal God’s power?
Unswervingly
Dart Rhoades’ message focuses on something our hearts and minds and spirits need to return again and again…forgiveness.
