It is Good to Be Seen
Jesus calls us to see those who aren’t seen by community. What child of God have we not responded to today? How can we welcome them and, in the process, make ourselves whole?
It is Time to Pivot
Life may seem to get away from us, but God offers opportunity to see and do something different, the Divine ambush.
Keep the Faith
The cross is a symbol of power and a tool of persecution. Different perspectives. Life can be exhausting.
Facing the Truth
Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. Jesus is the Word. Jesus is the Truth. God’s Truth is Good News. Jesus leads in a way that we can begin to understand. It is going to get hard. We need the help and it is there if we ask. We are the possible.
Scattered and Gathered
God scattered those who wanted to create a name for themselves, but God calls us to unite in loving God’s people. “And they’ll know we are Christian by our love”
Reconnect
We may go through seasons when we don’t believe, We may lose the feeling. God wants us to remember when God moved through our lives. God’s grace allows us to reconnect.
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.
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.
Stranger or neighbor
How do we recognize that everyone in our community is our neighbor? Everyone deserves our love. Everyone receives God’s love.
