This teaching is our second in our series called Sacred Ladders. People have different experiences of baptism. Here, we take a look at the baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 as a good example of an invitation to the sacrament of baptism. But what if baptism is more of a mutual experience than we often allow it to be?

This teaching is the first in our study called Sacred Ladders where we explore four sacraments of the Christian faith. This week we begin with the Eucharist (Common Meal). How do we entertain the mystery? How do we experience the grace of community at the Common Meal Table?

The 24th and final teaching in our series on the book of Luke. Why does Luke end his book so abruptly? How might we all encounter the Jesus Luke sees differently? How do we live out the commission and values of this Kingdom Luke presents to us?

Responses to the resurrection range from disbelief to a race to see it firsthand. But Luke's telling of it reminds us that experiencing the resurrection is most tangibly experienced around the table.

As we enter Holy Week, what would it mean to avoid making sense death and suffering? How can we see God as both with us and forsaking us? How do we maintain faithfulness even after the worst things have happened?

The way Luke writes about Jesus trials may give us a framework for how to approach life when it seems unfair.
