    Sunday Gospel and Sermon - April 12, 2026

    After joining us for some background conversation on the gospel reading, listen to Pastor Katie's sermon. This week the sermon took everything in the podcast as foundational ideas, then explored the ways that being in relationship with Christ is what it is to hear and be transformed by the Word of God. This intimate relationship with the Word is what Thomas was seeking, and we can learn to seek to really hear the Word of God from him.  Let us know what you think or send us a question!

    Doubting Thomas or… Faithful Thomas?

    The story of Jesus appearing to the disciples in Thomas' absence, then later showing Thomas his crucifixion wounds is read every single year on the Sunday after Easter. But this familiar text is often read with some presuppositions. Join Pastor Katie, Keith and David as they dive into the text and peel back some of the layers of this impactful story of post-resurrection appearances.  Like what you hear?

    Maundy Thursday - The Last Supper

    Listen now to this special devotional-style episode! We sing, pray and reflect on the readings of Holy Week in the gospel of John. Today we join Jesus and the disciples at the last supper. During Jesus' last supper with his friends, he did something that took everyone off guard. He washed their feet... even Judas' feet. After this remarkable moment, Jesus spends several chapters offering a final teaching to the disciples, a final word of love and grace that would carry them through the crucifixion to the resurrection and ultimately to Jesus' ascension.  Scripture quotations from the COMMON ENGLISH BIBLE. © Copyright 2011 COMMON ENGLISH BIBLE.
