St. Luke Anglican Church

God often chooses the unremarkable in ways that undermine our expectations. God chose a Peter, a nobody with no pedigree from nowhere important to be the foundation of the community of believers, establishing a bedrock on the Grace of God, the Gift of the Message, and the Response of Faith. What does this mean for the function of the Church?

Israel's purpose was always to be God's arm of hospitality to the Nations. But they, like us, often put energy and resources into making sure we are clean, good, and acceptable in ways that pushes others away and keeps them on the fringe and the margin. In what ways do we neglect our purposes of hospitality and faith? What do we do when the outsiders look more like God then the people of God do?

The life of faith is not one of comfort but often discomfort, insecurity, and uncertainty. Why did Jesus send his disciples into challenging situations? How did it shapes their faith in him? How can the rough and confusing experiences on our journey of faith lead us to a deeper understanding of Jesus?

Jesus didn't use his power to meet his own needs and wants, but rather the needs and wants of the crowds. He also wanted to equip his disciples for participation in his miracles. How can we say "Yes!" to God's invitation so that we can be a part of his next miracle?

By nature, we are each of us treasure hunters who search for things of great value that shift our priorities and change our narratives. What is it that you seek? What do you dream about? The Kingdom of God is a reality that points to its central voice and ruler, Jesus, who offers citizenship of his domain to us.

The parable of the wheat and the tares: how does Jesus’ description of the kingdom of God and the presence of evil go together? What do we do when the good and evil get mixed up in and around us? How will it all be made right? These are questions that we look into for guidance from Jesus.

What significance does being loved by Jesus have? What purpose does that give us? How can our eternal destiny inform a vision for our lives? How can we structure our lives now to achieve that vision and purpose?

Sometimes we are worn and weary because we take on too much. Most of the time though, we get swallowed up by a fallen world. How do we get swallowed up, and how does the rest of Jesus meet and transform us?

Following in the way of Christ will cause him to cut apart the hierarchy of loves in our hearts, but will also allow him to piece it back together in their appropriate order.

In the call to discipleship, Jesus offers us a different vision of power. Where our world invites us to shed vulnerability and seize power over others, Jesus invites us into a deeper, fuller kind of authority, rooted in a willingness to enter into suffering for the sake of others.
