March 26, 2023: Saved From What? - Michael Hidalgo

This week, as Jesus foreshadows his own death in speaking about the shepherd who lays down his life for his flock, we examine the stories we've been told about Jesus' death, and what it means for creation.

March 19, 2023: Off the Mark - Michael Hidalgo

This week we look at Genesis 3.  We reflect on the glory of being human, and how sin is something that scars the beauty with which we are born. In this then, our contrition is admitting we have stooped below the identity we’ve been given and trusting that God is one who freely restores our beauty.

March 12, 2023: Can These Bones Live - Jonathan Merritt

In one of the stranger stories of the prophets, God calls Ezekiel to prophecy to a valley of dry bones. What follows is an illustration to us of what God can do with the situations in our lives that appear to be nothing more than a graveyard.

March 5, 2023: Dirt - Michael Hidalgo

A curious fact about the Hebrew Scriptures is that there are two separate creation narratives. While the first offers no detail about how humans were fashioned by God, the second gives great detail – saying we are “formed from the dust of the ground.” Literally, we come from dirt. Recent science has told us we come from the dust of the stars, which may sound a little better. Both, however, suggest the same thing to us: we are a part of the universe in which we live all the way down to the atomic level. 

February 26, 2023: A Picture of the Divine - Dave Neuhausel

As we begin the season of Lent, we will be spending the next six weeks digging into what it means to embrace The Glory of Being Human. This week, we read in Genesis about the inherent royalty of every human being, and see a unique opportunity to offer this dignity to a family currently living a very dehumanizing existence.

February 19, 2023: The Message is The Medium

As we look at the way Jesus chose to bring about the good news of His kingdom here on earth, namely through His disciples, a young group of misfits from all kinds of different backgrounds, we see a picture of a God who's plan for His coming kingdom depends on those who, from our perspective, do not always inspire great confidence.

February 12, 2023: Girl Stand Up - Bekah Stewart

As we continue reading in Luke, we are reminded of Christ's invitation toward women. In a society that pushes women to the margins, both in Jesus' day and ours, His invitation is always toward becoming whole, and for so many women that means waking up and living into our full, human size. 

February 5, 2023: Living in the Tombs - Michael Hidalgo

As we continue in Luke 8, we will walk through the historic backdrop of this story and the words and heart of Jesus behind it. Ultimately pointing toward Jesus instructing this man, and all of us, to “Go and tell.”

January 29, 2023: And Also - Jonathan Merritt

As we read in Luke about the disciples fearing for their lives as they're caught in a storm at sea, we must confront the fear driven narratives that we create in our lives, and the fact that often we fail to leave space for the reality of what also is true.

January 22, 2023: Four Wisdom Sayings - Michael Hidalgo

In Luke chapter 8, Jesus talks about lamps, hearing, having and losing, and who He calls family.
