 While many choose to focus on legalism, Jesus invites us to focus on relationships. As we strive to nurture healthy relationships, however, we must begin with introspection. Are our hearts prepared to engage others in love and grace?

Prayers of the People for August 13, 2023 by Taylor Coz.

In tempestuous times, God challenges us to be courageous, which is not easy. Yet, when we doubt, Jesus reaches out to help us. Can we keep moving forward in times of adversity? Can we hear his voice in the midst of the storm?

What do we mean when we say that Jesus is Lord? The term is often associated with status and power. However, can the concept be defined in sacramental terms?

For many people, the idea of unconditional love does not make sense. In our modern lives, we we have become too used to transactions, investments, and a quid pro quo mentality. The idea that God's love is freely given to all people has become a radical one. Can we embrace God's love in our lives and affirm it in other people?
