1 Samuel 3.1-20

On October 31, 1517, a monk named Martin Luther stepped out and confronted a church that was abusing its power, taking advantage of the marginalized, and discrediting God’s ability to work through the everyday person. Thus began what the history books have called the Reformation, a bloody and tumultuous period during which the Western Church was confronted some of its deepest sins and accordingly took on new forms.

Exactly five hundred years later, many of the original “reforms” — both good and bad — have become sacrosanct and too celebrated to reconsider. But the world is changing and our practices of following Jesus must be willing to change with it. There are many things that can and must stand the test of time, but the Bible and Christian history make clear that one of the holiest exercises for the people of God is letting bad religion die with a dream that something more life-giving can bear fruit in its place.

The prophets were speaking into and interpreting their chaotic world. Joel admonishes God’s people to think differently, to examine the monstrous role they play in their own nightmare, and to join in communal lament.

Luke 24.1-12

Large portions of the story of Jesus are copied from the Empire’s originals. That's why Easter is unique.

Isaiah 6, 11

God is a calling God, inviting his people to join him in the mission of calling people to repentance and in line with his intention to renew all things. But what is calling and how can we be sure it’s from God?

Jonah 3-4

Though one of our favorite stories to tell our children, Jonah is a story of a stubborn and petty man who wants revenge. God will have none of it, extending love, mercy, and forgiveness to the most undeserving … and expecting us to do the same.

2 Samuel 7

God is a promising God — some of his promises fairly general, while others very specific. How are we to handle things when the its seems that promises have been broken?
