This week we look at Luke 9:28-43, a great story of what happened when Jesus took a few of his friends up a mountain to pray. There he suddenly began to shine with dazzling brightness. Could that happen to us?

This week we look at Luke 9:28-43, a great story of what happened when Jesus took a few of his friends up a mountain to pray. Mountains seem often to be places we have encounters with God - has that been your experience?

This week we look at Luke 6:27-38, in which Jesus teaches the kind of sacrificial love that can induce us to forgive those who abuse us. Today we reflect on a story from the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 43:3-11,15), about a man who managed to do just that.

This week we look at Luke 6:27-38, in which Jesus teaches what love really means in the Life of God. And love is incompatible with judgment, resentment, vengeance - Jesus invites us to live a life of releasing debts and grievances, and receiving blessing beyond measure.

This week we look at Luke 6:27-38, in which Jesus teaches what love really means in the Life of God - and it includes treating others as you would like them to treat you. Does that extend to people who steal or beg from us?

This week we look at Luke 6:27-38, in which Jesus teaches what love really means in the Life of God - and it's hard! It includes loving our enemies and those who wish us harm. How on earth can we do that?

Today we reflect on Jeremiah 17:5-10 - in which we are likened to trees, which thrive when planted near water. How do you nourish your spirit each day? (Here is a link to an On Being episode mentioned in the reflection.)

This week we look at Luke 6:17-26, in which Jesus teaches his new disciples what to expect in following him - it's not going to be pretty, or easy, or safe, especially if they care a lot about what people think of them.

This week we look at Luke 6:17-26, in which Jesus teaches about the upside-down-ness of the Realm of God. Today we explore the distortion that can result when we conflate the idea of "heaven" and "Kingdom of Heaven." The first is a "there and later" reality. The second very much here and now.
