MATTHEW 6:1-6,16-21

Today we hear from Rev. Laurel Mathewson on the practice of prayer in St. Teresa of Avila’s “Interior Castle,” and how we can deepen our prayers in the season of Lent.

LUKE 9:28-36

The Gospel story for today invites into a mysterious cloud where we see Jesus transfigured, and where we have the chance to be transformed along with him.

LUKE 6:27-38

Today, we learn about Jesus’ radical call to non-violent action. What does it mean to trust that Jesus knew what he was talking about, and what kind of world would we live in if we did?

MALACHI 3:1-4 & LUKE 2:22-40

LUKE 4:21-32

We often define ourselves by our common interests and beliefs, and we place the value of our own group above that of “outsiders.” Today’s Gospel passage invites us to redefine ourselves in light of Jesus’ teaching.

LUKE 4:14-30

Today we hear from Fr. Colin from St. Luke’s about Jesus’ commitment to helping the poor and oppressed, and we’re invited to consider the ways that we can participate in his work. 

JOHN 2:1-11

In the second week of Epiphany, today’s passage is an opportunity to see a sign of who Jesus the Christ really is. 

LUKE 3:19-22 & ACTS 10:34-38

The baptism of Jesus is the inauguration of the Reign of God that the Hebrew people had awaited for generations. Telling the story over and over again helps it to sink into our bones. 

JOHN 1: 1-5, 10-18; MATTHEW 2: 1-12

The story of Christmas is one where we are surprised by grace: people who are far away from God draw near as God draws near to them, and everyone is included. 

The question for us today is: What are we looking for in our lives, and how do we respond when God comes close to us? 

LUKE 2:41-52

Christmas is about God seeing the brokenness of our world and getting as close to us as possible, entering into our very story as one of us.
