Matt 11:2-6, Luke 1:46-55

In this Advent season, we wait. This waiting is one rooted in trust and hope that the Branch that grows up from the stump of Jesse is One who has come and will come. This One is the enthroned King, anointed by the Spirit, who brings a kingdom of peace. 

Isaiah 11:1-10

Isaiah11:1-10

How we wait matters. Waiting at the DMV is a drastically different experience from waiting at, say, Disney World. As we begin our Advent season, we allow Isaiah's vision of the mountain of the Lord's temple to inform how we wait. 

Isaiah 2: 2-5

Guest Teacher, Peter Mutabazi, shared his story of finding acceptance and true worth.

Psalm 139:1-6, 14

Psalm 139:1-6, 14

A fight song gives encouragement and declares victory and perseverance - even in defeat. Paul's final words to Timothy are a fight song of their own, inviting us to consider what makes up a "good fight" of faith. What all is included when strategizing to fight well, both offensively and defensively? Whose victory do we proclaim?

1 Timothy 6: 11-21

The writer of this letter highlights two prevailing attitudes that power behaviors - conceitedness and dissatisfaction. It is wise to pay attention to these attitudes and to be aware of their power to influence our behaviors.

1 Timothy 6: 2b-10

Each person, especially the most vulnerable among us, are worthy of very specific kinds of honor. This honor is ascribed to us by Christ for the benefit of others especially widows.
