The Essentials

My experience of communion in different faith contexts has shaped my understanding of the greater Christian Church. My hope is that we do a better job of making sure people know they are welcome at our table.

Words of affirmation are a beautiful thing. We often show our love in many ways, but are we willing to take the risk by telling someone what we love about them?

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. How is it that Christian churches have so many different definitions of his path?

Music has a way of staying with you. After hearing some familiar words in this week's scripture passage, I remember a song that still means a great deal to me.

Let's start from square one. The Christian Church has a certain reputation in America. Often times, it's a reputation for doing exactly what Jesus wouldn't do. I want to offer a different perspective to help chip away at those negative assumptions.
