These days it seems there is a heavy push by the more traditional and conservative-leaning Christian leaders to move America back to a more hardline version of Christian "law" and away from a more inclusive view of God and scriptures. Today, Pam helps us understand that God's intention is to lead us with love instead of strict laws and heavy-handed penalties.

We've been invited by God to change our world for the better. We know the charge is not to make every single life better, but to make better those within our reach. The invitation is to try, to make the effort, to accept the challenge, and do our best to live into God's desire for our world to be better, safer, more ready to help when and where we can. We stand ready to accept God's Invitation.

Early in the life of the Christian movement, a wind started to blow... it's still blowing today, and when we allow it to have its space and do its deed, it can move us into meaningful and powerful places. We gathered on Pentecost Sunday to wait and listen for our time to yield to its breeze. It was a wonderful time of learning from the wind.

Mother's Day is a wonderful celebration of all the women and others who have nurtured us, cared for us, loved us, and helped us through difficult times. It is the perfect occasion to show our love for those who've loved us so much. Then there are those who don't find reasons to celebrate Mother's Day - for whatever reason. But even for those, there is the promise that God loves us, cares for us, nurtures us, and helps us - so much so that our names have been written in the palm of God's hand.

We often try, but we know it is impossible to compare God's love to anything we can know or feel. God's love is not based on any conditions - there is nothing that can suppress it or keep it from being shown. So the question becomes, will we allow ourselves to be rooted in that perfect love?

Nature tells us that all of creation is intertwined. We were never intended to live our lives alone. We're not expected to thrive alone on an island, separated from human interaction. We rely on each other, and others rely on us for love, care, support, and companionship.

Let's be honest; all of us, preachers and pastors included, sometimes have doubts and times when we struggle with our faith. None of us are immune from wondering if God really is there for us. Today, we read the story of the father who brought his son to Jesus to be healed. In a moment of honesty, the father acknowledges that his faith isn't beyond at least a measure of doubt. Even so, his son is healed. Today Kenny expands on how to deal with our questions and doubts when it comes to faith, the bible, and who God is.

All of us have questions and curiosities about some of the bible's lessons, stories, and characters. This Sunday we're going to spend some time addressing some of your questions.

Sometimes we have trouble reconciling the rejection we find in many churches with the radical inclusion we find in the bible's Easter story. Three days had passed. The women went to the tomb to anoint Jesus’ body, according to custom. No doubt the journey to the tomb was heavy. Perhaps they approached with heads lowered in defeat and grief. But then they looked up and it changed their lives. The barrier that they thought would be there was gone and what they discovered instead was life. That same promise is ours - even if we've been told it is not for us - we believe God's promise of life is for everyone.
