In Matthew 11:28-30 we hear an invitation to all of you who are OVERwhelmed, OVERcommitted, OVERexposed, and just OVER it. The invitation, from Christ, is come to me. In a world of do-it-yourself, will we accept this invitation?  

Our current time and world seem to be so worried about getting there or being anywhere but here. We seem so focused on what ifs or how this is not what I planned. Today we take a look at how we are called to seek God, EVEN NOW. To pause and seek God and trust in Him that even HERE is holy

As we celebrate Epiphany, we learn that encountering Christ calls us to go forth in A New Way. 

In Luke 9 we hear of Jesus turning His face to Jerusalem. This is a challenge for us, that no matter what the future may hold we trust in God's will and seek to Face Forward as we pursue God's will 

Today, we look at how if Christ entered this mess of a world, we, as Christians, have no excuses. There are no excuses not to extend love, grace, and mercy. No excuses not to enter into the lives of those we have pushed away and separated from  

In Genesis 12, we hear God promise Abraham that the world will be blessed through him. Doubt, fear, anxiety, and worry arise throughout the Old Testament. However, the challenge for them and us is to place our hope not in our circumstances or this world but in God's faithfulness to God's people.    

In Matthew 25, we hear how surprised the sheep and the goats are to find Christ in "the least of these." Over and over again, Christ surprises us, if we are open to His movement. So, let's open ourselves to surprises the Holy Spirit may have in store. 

In Romans 12: 17-21 we hear a challenge to break the cycle of evil for evil. Today we look at how to break the power of a grudge, and tear down the fences we place between us and others, and begin to build bridges to the other   

Words have power, power to live, build up and tear down, to give and take life, as we hear in Proverbs 18. As we approach the holiday season, we have to interact with people. The question arises: what is the ratio of life-giving and life-taking words? 

In 1 John 3:1-7, we hear the call to be born again into the Kingdom of God. In doing so we are called to not build walls, but to Thin the Veil between Heaven and Earth
