The way of Jesus challenges our comparison and competition attitude toward one another, instead inviting us to rest in the secure love of God and to serve and give freely.

Prayer brings our attention to God who is able to work in our lives and give us strength when we struggle.

Jesus' transfiguration shows us his overwhelming glory and gives us a glimpse at the future that's in store for those who place their trust in him.

The cross of Jesus is the shape of our spiritual formation. The question is whether we will take up Jesus' way or continue on our own.

Leaven is a picture of adding something small that corrupts the whole thing. Jesus warned against adding small old beliefs and ways of living to his way, instead inviting us to leave our old ways behind and trust him to satisfy our souls.

In the seeming offense of Jesus' response to a desperate woman, we discover the secret of access to the goodness and grace of God: not our goodness nor our identity, but only our need grants us a seat at the table of grace.

We have a sense that there's something wrong with us, and look either to clean up the outside of ourselves or embrace our inner self. But Jesus questions both of these solutions, inviting us instead to look outside of ourselves completely to find peace and goodness.

Struggle is a part of life and a part of our journey of discipleship in the way of Jesus. What happens in us when we struggle, and what Jesus does in the midst of our struggle, is what matters most.

The way of Jesus invites us into both work and rest, trusting Jesus' ability to provide our daily bread.

The way of power and privilege tells us that life should get easier as we get more powerful; the way of Jesus tells us we should expect suffering as the place where we experiece God's greatest power.
