The Church is to be "a sacrament of the world’s possibility. A sign of what the world can be." — Luke Timothy Johnson. This quote describes our highest hope. That we would be a sacrament of the world’s possibility. That we would love radically, inclusively, and generously — regardless of age, race, orientation, ethnicity, marital status or disability. That we would be a “first-fruits” of what Creation will one day become when God sets all things to rights.

4/28/2024 - Bakos and the Boundless Gospel

4/21/2024 - Laying Down Your Life

When Shame Meets Jesus
4/14/2024 - When Shame Meets Jesus
After a crippled is healed at the temple gate, a crowd surrounds Peter and John astonished at what has happened. Just a few months earlier, Peter had denied Jesus 3 times. What happened between that moment and this one? What can we learn from Peter's transformation and his appeal for the crowds to repent?

Recentering Easter
3/31/2024 - Recentering Easter
We have arrived at a point in our culture where Christmas seems like the center of the Christian calendar. But it is not. Jesus' death and resurrection are always the center. Even the date of Christmas shows us that.
