I explore how Jesus' coming brings abundant, eternal life with some reflections from John's Gospel and Psalm 23.

Our reflection for the first week of Advent explores the certainty and assurance that Jesus, the Light of the World, offers in the darkness of our lives.

We head into the wilderness with Mark where the way is being prepared for Jesus to declare that he is the good news.

I take a bit of a deep dive into the origins of this holiday, both of the observance of it and the "first" thanksgiving, trying to peel away legend and tradition to look at it from a couple of different angles. Happy Turkey Day!

Apologies that this is a day late. David gives Solomon and the people the final charge to be about the work of rest as they commit themselves to building the temple of Yahweh in 1 Chronicles 28-29.

I explore the role of Satan in David's story from 1 Chronicles 21 and elsewhere in Scripture.

In the wake of a plague brought on by David's grasping for power and wealth through a census, he and the people of Israel experience God's lavish mercy and love and it changes the course of not only David's monarchy but of the people's life as they turn to building a house for Yahweh as a place of blessing.

I consider the ways David is absent from the accounts of his wars in 1 Chronicles 18-20 and the implications for us.

I delve into two difficult discrepancies of 1 Chronicles 20.
