Some thoughts inspired by morning conversations about identity with friends. If you wrestle with purpose or worth here are some thoughts I have for you.

Today we reflect upon the Centurion’s shocking confession from Luke 23:47.

This starts a new series in which we reflect on the conversations Jesus had with different kinds of people. Today we reflect on how Jesus spoke to the already religious, namely Nicodemus in John 3. As always check the notes for Paul’s worship playlist.

Happy Easter! He is risen! Today we spend a lot of time reading scripture so you may want a Bible. Specifically there are large sections from Luke 24 and Isaiah 53-55.

Today we lament the darkness of evil, as we behold the Lord of Glory crucified by it so that through it we might know the fullness of God’s peace.

Today being Maundy Thursday I offer a bit of an old school communion meditation.

Sometimes called silent Wednesday today the story shifts from Jesus to Judas.

Today we reflect on Jesus rejection of the Temple system, and we reorient our understanding of the old story of the widows mite found in Luke 21:1-5-9.

This is the first day of Holy Week. Today we explore the way that John marks the story of Jesus triumphal entry differently, and how even here we are shocked by the wideness of God’s mercy.

This morning we conclude our series on John 13-17. We focus on Jesus prayer for unity of his people, which is the natural outflow of anyone who is living in self-giving love. Put another way, if we live the love of John 13 our lives will easily reflect the unity of John 17.
