Is It Christian?
Some Christians make it hard to be Christian. Today, we are challenged to love each other, don’t hate, make room for others. Thanks be to God for Izzy, Luke, and Owen.
One of Us
All of us are welcomed into the church. A miracle can happen when we move out of our comfort zone. We know how to divide, the miracle is when we choose to bring together.
Jesus is Risen From the Dead
We should spend less time talking about the resurrection and more time being the resurrection. Do you want to live?
Palm Sunday
Like those who celebrated Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem. We find ourselves in the middle, but God will lead us.
When we are Lost … When we are Found
We can become so lost we don’t recognize the path back. Sin is a disturbance between us and God, but remember you are a beloved child of God. God will always celebrate when we are found, let us join in that celebration.
Faithful or Faithless
Martha was the good servant, doing what was needed. Mary sat and listened. Sitting with the word of God is important, too. What matters is not what we do, but how/why we do it.
Stranger or neighbor
How do we recognize that everyone in our community is our neighbor? Everyone deserves our love. Everyone receives God’s love.
With All Your Heart, Love
If we don’t transform hate, we will transmit it. Human beings are not the enemy. The enemy is the violence and injustice inside us all.
Trust God
When the ground is swept from beneath our feet, can we, will we trust in God. There is goodness to be beheld even in trouble.
We Can’t Look Away
God calls us to welcome the immigrant, the refugee. Jesus was an undocumented refugee as a child. We cannot look away.
