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.

January 15, 2023: Nothing Wasted - Amanda Lum

As we read the Parable of the Sower in Luke, we might be tempted to make the story all about how to make sure our hearts are the right kind of soil? But what if Jesus is inviting us to ponder the mystery of a God who sows good seeds no matter the condition of the soil? 

January 8, 2023: The Tragedy of Loving Little - Michael Hidalgo

It seems to be a part of the human condition to avoid being wrong at all costs. This is first seen in the Garden of Eden when both the man and the woman pass off wrongdoing by blaming their actions on someone else. The tragedy in this is that in avoiding being wrong, we miss the opportunity to experience the grace of true forgiveness bestowed on us. In the end, we will only love little. 

December 24, 2022: The Extraordinary Ordinary

This Christmas Eve, we celebrate the birth of Jesus in the most ordinary of circumstances.

December 18, 2022: Kings and Other Things - Michael Hidalgo

In Matthew's Gospel, the author is not shy about who Jesus is born to be: the long expected king. The problem is, at the time that Christ was born, there was a whole crowd of others looking to claim the same title. Therefore, the declaration of the coming of a newborn king was not something to be taken lightly, but a dangerous and subversive statement.

December 11, 2022: A New Exodus - Bekah Stewart

This week, as we look at the reality of God deciding to inhabit human flesh, we’re left to wonder, what if the meaning of Christmas is one of liberation, one where our very bodies could be set free by the reality of the Divine Presence.
