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.

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?

4/7/2024 - A Life of Togetherness

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.

A Tale of Two Processions
3/24/2024 - A Tale of Two Processions
Today's message explored the clash of processions entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday: one of imperial might, the other of humble love. Plus, we looked at Mark's unique gospel focus on Peter's missteps. How do these stories speak to us today?

Seeds, Fruit, and Loving Your Life
3/17/2024 Seeds, Fruit, and Loving Your Life
WAs Jesus interacted with people in the temple, and prepared for his impending death, he told a parable about a seed dying that gives birth to great life. He was hinting at his own death on the cross, but he was also pointing to the life his followers were called to live. How does this text speak to us today, all these years later?

‘Then’ is ‘Now’: A Bigger Understanding of John 3:16
3/10/2024 'Then' is 'Now': A Bigger Understanding of John 3:16
When you see someone holding up a sign that says, “John 3:16” what is your reaction? How do you feel? Our current Christian culture has reduced this verse into something small and judgemental. How might we reclaim it and let it affect our lives today?
