Jesus is supremely interested in our belief in him. Jesus’ resurrection of Lazarus is performed so that we may believe, and belief requires that we participate in God’s saving work in the world.

Jesus wants to heal our spiritual blindness, which keeps us from recognizing who Jesus is and what he has come to do.

Jesus offers living water to a Samaritan woman, highlighting the inclusiveness of God's salvation and challenging our preconceptions about who can receive it.

As the church, we’re called to carry God’s light and love into the dark and loveless places.

We seek to find our place as characters in the great story of God’s love and faithfulness to creation.

God doesn’t want our worship, no matter how perfect it is, if we aren’t going to exercise neighborly compassionate justice.

Doing justice requires courage. Loving kindness requires patience. Walking humbly requires surrender. None of these is easy, but all of them are good.

God has given us grace and peace so that we might endure until Jesus returns.

Like Israel and Jesus, we are God’s Spirit-empowered servants commissioned to enact restorative justice.

From before the foundation of the world, God’s plan has always been to gather all of creation back to himself through the loving power of Christ.
