Part 5: Again & Again: A Lenten Refrain, April 6, 2025

Too often we use so much of our energy trying to maintain the past or present, that we no longer have the strength to embrace the future. It is never about forgetting what was. It is about honoring the path which brought us here and knowing that the path does not, cannot, go in only in one directon. Rather, the path will have twists and turns, unexpected valleys and mountains, all opportunities to teach us about ourselves, about life, about our world, about our relationships, about who we are and whose we are.

Part 4: Again & Again: A Lenten Refrain, March 30, 2025

What if God’s love and redeeming grace was our repeated refrain, our way of life, our way of understanding who we are, our way of seeing the world, our way of seeing every single person? Just imagine if we lived our lives in response to God’s love and redeeming grace instead of trying to earn it.

Part 3: Again & Again: A Lenten Refrain, March 23, 2025

As people of faith, again and again we are shown the way; a way which overturns tables; a way which brings down walls; a way which creates community and connection between us all. As people of faith, again and again we are shown the way; a way which this world calls foolish; a way which defies our understanding; a way which is sometimes disruptive and uncomfortable.

Part 2: Again & Again: A Lenten Refrain, March 16, 2025

“The Lenten journey calls us to examine the things in which our hearts are invested, recognizing that we often insert our voices into the silence of God. Lent invites us to listen to God’s wisdom for us and truly see who Jesus is, not just who we have created him to be.”

Part 1: Again & Again: A Lenten Refrain, March 9, 2025

The story of God’s covenant following the Great Flood reminds us that, again and again, God meets us. God meets us and promises to stay with us. “This story reminds us to hope, to believe that even in the midst of the storms, a new tomorrow awaits” us. We hold to this hope because we know God meets us where we are…in the broken, the hurt, in the chaos after the flood. “God meets us with a promise sealed with a bow bursting with the endless spectrum of color light holds.”

Part 6: Messages From 7the Gospel of Luke, March 2, 2025

It is God’s word, it is God’s wisdom which gives us the strength, gives us the courage to become people of love and grace, to live in a way which reflects the Beloved Community in all we do and say."A House Without A Foundation"

Part 5: Messages From the Gospel of Luke, February 23, 2025

God shows grace, God shows mercy, God shows love to the just and the unjust. Luke tells us that we are to act in ways, speak in ways which reflect the character of God in all things and through all things because “God is kind to ungrateful and wicked people. Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.”

Part 4: Messages From the Gospel of Luke, February 16, 2025

 Just as the disciples chose to hear Jesus, we can choose to invite the Gospel message into our hearts, in our minds, into our very beings. We can invite the Gospel message to transform us, to help us become the people of love and grace. Or we can choose to make the Gospel message simply words we say on Sunday morning."To Hear and To Be Healed"

Part 3: Messages From the Gospel of Luke, February 9, 2025

Luke reminds us that our call as followers of Jesus is not about saving souls. It is not about membership numbers. Our call, our mission, our identity, our ministry as Jesus’ disciples is about building relationships with others, about being so moved by the holy that we can do nothing else but share the good news. It is about experiencing, about knowing, about proclaiming that love and light will always have the last word, not only for ourselves for all of God’s people."Leaving Everything Behind and Following Jesus"

Part 2: Messages From the Gospel of Luke, February 2, 2025

When we sit with this passage from Luke 4 for a while, we realize the crowd’s reaction was never about Jesus. It was about them. It is about us. It is about the Beloved Community in our midst. It is about reframing the narrative. It is about inviting Jesus to be who we need him to be – someone who opens our hearts and minds, our very beings to the presence of God in our midst, someone who invites us as his followers, as his disciples to believe, to trust, to work towards the promise that this world does not have the last word."No Prophet is Welcome"

"No Prophet is Welcomed"
