Friends of Time: John 20
In his account of the resurrection, John sees faith in Jesus as a gradual unfolding, not a one-time act. We are called to patiently embrace the sometimes-slow unfolding of God's work in our lives.

Judgment, Repentance, and the Pathway to Peace (Numbers 21:4-9)
Our story from the book of Numbers today shows us that God's judgment is not merely punitive but serves as a revelation of what happens when we turn away from the good gifts that God offers. The Christian understanding of repentance offers us a redemptive pathway to transformation and new life.

Beyond Expectations (John 2:1-11, delivered on the 5th Sunday after Epiphany, 2/4/24)
Jesus not only provides for physical needs but also sees and responds to the deeper desires of our hearts. Jesus' ministry is about far more than mere provision for our needs, but about giving us extravagant joy and fulfillment beyond all our expectations.

Beyond Words (Mark 1:21-28; delivered on the fourth Sunday after Epiphany, 1/28/24)
Mark tells us that Jesus taught as one with authority...even though we do not actually hear the CONTENT of his teaching. That's because Jesus' authority comes not from somewhere else, but is rooted in his own identity. Our call as disciples is to move beyond mere recognition of Jesus' authority to a transformative recognition of his power and goodness.
