Whether at an office, home, school, or business, all of us work. In fact, we spend most of our time doing “work” more than any other thing in life. So, how can we live abundantly while we work? Join us this week as we look at what scripture says about abundant life at work. [Ecclesiastes 2:4-11]

Whether at an office, home, school, or business, all of us work. In fact, we spend most of our time doing “work” more than any other thing in life. So, how can we live abundantly while we work? Listen as we look at what scripture says about abundant life at work. [Ecclesiastes 2:4-11]

Following Jesus isn’t something we do alone. In John 21, Jesus shows his disciples—and us—that abundant life is found in the abundant community he creates and sustains. Join us as we celebrate the gift of faith and those who help us live it. [John 21:1-14]

Have you ever found yourself saying, "But we had hoped..."? 🚶‍♂️ On the road to Emmaus, Cleopas and his companion were processing the ultimate disappointment—their plans for a Messiah didn't match the reality of the cross. We often do the same, basing our hope on our circumstances or our "perfect" plans. But Easter hope isn't a roll of the dice or a wish that things go our way. It is a "sure and steadfast anchor" based on the concrete fact of the empty tomb. Even when we don't recognize Him, Christ is walking the road of disappointment right beside us. ⚓️

"The Lord needs it." For the owner of the donkey, these words were an invitation to loosen their grip on the very thing they depended on for security. This Palm Sunday, we explore the power of surrender: what we place in Jesus’ hands can carry His presence much further than anything we try to hold onto ourselves.

Our parable this week offers to us a lens of faith.

All of the characters in this parable are given responsibility, but not all of them believe that they deserve it or that they are capable of handling that responsibility. Join us as we discover how a lens of faith impacts and enhances daily life. [Luke 19:11-26]

It’s hard to watch the evening news or talk about our government institutions without the question of justice—real, equitable justice—quickly rising to the surface. Jesus taught us not only to pray for justice but to pursue it, even when it feels distant or difficult to attain. This Sunday, we’ll look at one of Jesus’ parables that offers renewed encouragement and fresh perspective for all who seek God’s justice in our world today. [Luke 18:1-8]

When you get home and glance at your kitchen, are you more likely to see the dishes out and dirty, or the ones that are put away? I tend toward the former and struggle with a scarcity lens, seeing what has not been done or what is lacking. In this week's parable, Jesus offers us a new lens, one of abundance. God never reaches His limit in love, compassion, and welcome. Join us as we study the parable of The Great Banquet. (Luke 14:16-24)

Mar. 1 - A New Lens for Lent: The Lens of Compassion | Emily Wright by WHPC

This Lent, we will journey with Jesus as he tells 6 parables on his way to the cross. We begin with Jesus dining at a Pharisee's home. When an unexpected guest arrives and begins to anoint Jesus’ feet, the host judges her behavior as inappropriate. Jesus tells a short parable that reveals a new lens for us to consider when we make judgments - the lens of humility. [Luke 7:36-50]
