Generosity is about more than money. It begins with the realization that our whole lives are gifts from God! But we too easily become distracted by the world and its misplaced priorities. Status, money, accolades… Our values shift away from God’s. What do you value the most in this world? What are you holding onto […]

Part of being in Christian community is that we see each other. There’s a relationship…people aren’t left alone. They become known. You become known. You become part of a family, a home. Our relationships will not always be perfect. In our humanness, we bump against each other and sometimes cause hurt. But the point of […]

How would our world be transformed if we cultivated the fruit of the Spirit, rather than seeking to glorify power in its many expressions? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control… As we navigate this year full of political and societal tension, let us keep our minds on these things. The world could […]

Let Jesus be the mirror. So often we get stuck looking at ourselves rather than the One who came to save us. Our own reflection can only lead us into frustration, worry and sin. Looking at Jesus in the mirror, though, we gain the capacity to reflect His goodness, His mercy, His love and all […]

At Christmas it can be so easy to think of Jesus as this sweet little baby and in that way underestimate the illuminating power of God’s light. Our Heavenly Father sent his light into the world through the birth of Jesus Christ to scatter the darkness in your life…all of it! We need to recognize […]

The darkness of our world cannot comprehend the light of Jesus Christ. It also can never, ever extinguish it! There is nothing that can overcome it or move it in any way. The light of God’s grace is what we reflect on particularly in this Christmas season. Do we, like the shepherds, run across broken […]

We find in Isaiah and in other prophecies that Jesus Christ is referred to as yes, as the light, but also as a servant of God. One who came to seek and save that which was lost, sitting in darkness, chained by sin. Whoever you are at, do not forget that God’s grace is there […]
