    Easter 2026

    What do you do with a morning you weren't ready for? This is the Easter reflection I gave at our 2026 gathering at Hammock Hall, Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in St. Petersburg, Florida. We had just walked through a Visio Divina experience with sacred art on the walls, and we were about to share communion together. What came in between is what you're about to watch. This talk moves through the resurrection encounters in the Gospel of John — Mary in the garden, the road to Emmaus, Thomas and his doubt, the breakfast on the beach — and asks what the resurrection of Jesus actually means for your ordinary life. Not just your eternity. Your Monday. Your body. The grief you cannot put down. Along the way we spend time in Romans 8, Colossians 3, Second Corinthians 5, and Philippians 3. Dorothy Sayers, GK Chesterton, Howard Thurman, Martin Luther, Max Lucado, and Da Truth all have something to say about it.

    The Scripture Practice - Study

    In this week's gathering, Cassandra brings us the next step in our Practicing the Way series on Scripture: the discipline of study. Not cramming. Not checking a box. Not collecting information to forget by morning. Something slower and more serious than that. Using Luke 4 as our text, we watch Jesus face the wilderness at the edge of his limits — hungry, exhausted, and alone — and respond to every temptation with the same three words: It is written. His mind was already saturated. Scripture wasn't something he reached for in a crisis. It was already in him.

    Scripture Practice - Meditate

    What if everything you thought about reading the Bible was just... artificial bait? In this teaching from our ongoing Practice on Scripture, we explore one of the most important and overlooked practices in the life of faith: meditation. Not mindfulness. Not speed-reading. Not highlight-and-move-on. Something far older, far slower, and far more alive.

    The Scripture Practice - Wisdom Literature

    What do you do when Scripture refuses to give you the easy answer you're looking for? In this sermon, we explore how Wisdom Literature—Job, Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes—trains us to navigate life's complexity with trust instead of certainty. We'll look at why Proverbs aren't promises, what biblical meditation actually means, and how sitting with these ancient texts can form us into people who can hold tension without needing all the answers. If you've ever felt frustrated by the Bible's refusal to be a simple formula, this message is for you.

    Scripture Practice - Scripture Is Communal

    What if the Bible was never meant to be read alone? In this teaching from Uncommon City’s Scripture Practice series, we explore Scripture as communal literature. Not a private self-help manual. Not a collection of spiritual soundbites. But a living word formed in community, preserved by community, and meant to be spoken, heard, and embodied together. Through stories, history, and Scripture, we trace how God’s people have always encountered the Word out loud, over time, with one another. From ancient oral traditions to modern attention spans, from shema to zakar, this message invites us to slow down, listen deeply, remember faithfully, and let the Word read us. Because Scripture isn’t just trying to inform us. It’s trying to form us. Listen in, and consider what it might look like for the Word of Christ to dwell richly among us again.

    The Scripture Practice - The Bible is Ancient, Unified, and Messianic

    This week, we stepped deeper into the story of Scripture—naming its complexity and reclaiming its beauty. We explored how the Bible is ancient, unified, and messianic: a library of writings that ultimately leads us to Jesus. More than information, we’re after formation—learning to read as apprentices, not experts.

    The Scripture Practice - Intro + Divine/Human Literature

    In a world where truth feels increasingly relative, this teaching invites us to return to Scripture as the steady ground beneath our feet. Rooted in Matthew 5v17–19, this sermon explores how Jesus understood the Bible, why he trusted it completely, and how reading Scripture as apprentices of Jesus forms us into people who actually live what we believe.
