From facing our own fears to the Magi's bold trek to Bethlehem, God is with us when we step out into uncertainty. Embrace God's guidance and find assurance that, even in discomfort, God remains a constant source of care.

Embark on a cosmic Christmas journey of wonder and grace! From childhood star-gazing to the birth of Christ, we see divine flickerings in our universe. This Christmas we celebrate love's descent, filling our lives with awe and gratitude.

God is revealed in mysterious ways and places, certainly this is the case every Christmas as Jesus is laid to rest in a manger. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

John’s chorus this Sunday is “Not me!” which points us to the one we’re really looking for, Jesus. We draw nearer to the manger.

Awake for Advent! And embrace deep listening for the arrival of Christ. In a world of chaos, we focus on finding God’s presence around us. We await the transformative arrival of the Christ child, focused on love, hope, and abundance.

We stand at the Advent of a new year as we celebrate Christ the King. Jesus is not the kind of king we expect, which becomes all the more apparent as we prepare to journey to the manger and witness salvation once more.

At first glance, "Parable of the Talents" has all the trappings of a stewardship text. Perhaps we must reconsider this approach and recall how grace, mercy, and love (not fear) motivate us in our service to God and others.

Guest preacher Rev. Kelly Nieman-Anderson brings greetings from LSSI (Lutheran Social Services of Illinois) as she shares the blessings of their ministries and our partnership with them.

On this festival Sunday we gather to celebrate all the saints in our lives. Although this can be a difficult day, we trust that God "wipes every tear from our eyes", as we are reminded that we too are already saints in Christ.

On Reformation Day we embrace transformation and recognize the power of faith and love. Let us remember that God's love welcomes all. We are God's children, free in Christ.
