- Oct 11, 2020God’s Faithfulness
God’s FaithfulnessWhat type of seeds are we planting? Lies and deceit we hope will advance ourselves or love, joy, peace...mercy, justice, etc... that not only bless ourselves and our families, but our neighbors as well.
- Oct 4, 2020Siblings
SiblingsIt is said, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." The story of Jacob and Esau is a story of power abused for the sake of self-advancement. The Jesus-story shows us the divine example of power, "the greatest among you shall be the servant of all...for the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many." This week, look for opportunities to serve...and in doing so, reflect the power of Jesus.
- Sep 27, 2020Resting
RestingRest...it's something we often long for but find it's availability allusive. The longing of God is for our deep resting rooted in relationship with Him. This resting does not preclude storms and droughts but in their midst we have a quiet, confident, stillness in which love holds us strong. As David writes, we too find, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want....Even though I walk through the darkest valley, your rod and staff they comfort me."
- Sep 20, 2020Wrestling
WrestlingWrestling with God sounds intimidating, yet that is the invitation of Scripture. Wrestling is a metaphor for intercession...bold, persistent intercession rooted in a deep sense of caring for God's name (character), people, and creation. "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Let's wrestle!
- Sep 13, 2020Trusting
TrustingIt can be difficult to count stars amidst times of stress and fear. It can be difficult to believe the seemingly unbelievable when all around me is danger and destruction. Can we hear God speak, "I am your shield, I've got you now...I've got your future...I've got you...I am your shield."
- Sep 6, 2020Called
CalledWe are a CALLED people....Called into intentional relationship with Jesus. Called to orient our lives in response to this premiere relationship.

- Nov 15, 2020My Table
My Table"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." We're living in remarkably stressful times. Can we picture in our souls a beautiful pasture with clear springs, lush grasses, sun and shade? Can we imagine a shepherd who watches over this pasture, guarding us from the predators of fear and worry? "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want...."
- Nov 8, 2020My Comfort
My Comfort"Your rod and staff, they comfort me...." Where do you hurt? Where are your wounds of body, mind, and/or soul? The 23rd Psalm, written by one who knew numerous pains, invites us to the Good Shepherd who guides with a rod
that protects and examines us so we might flourish. - Nov 1, 2020My Shepherd
My ShepherdThe Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want....We've been invited to walk through the 23rd Psalm each day this week, to meditate upon its images, to listen for the Voice that seeks to speak into and form our lives. Won't you join us?

Changed by LoveChange, some love it, while others try everything to avoid it! The Magi were willing to move out of their comfort zones to pursue an encounter with more of God and they were not disappointed! God is the God who invites us to experience in the words of E.M. Bounds, the deeper chambers of God's love. Friends, it is worth it when we intentionally make pilgrimage to meet the living God, supremely in and through Emmanuel Jesus.
- Dec 6, 2020Called by Love
Called by LoveOn Sunday we looked at Joseph's story. His life illustrates that God is at work at all times, all around us, and God calls us to participate in God's work. But this calling will sometimes mean we need to let go of our dreams and even reputations and we deem this to be risky. Here, Joseph is our example, he says "Yes" to God's call.
- Nov 29, 2020Surprised by Love
Surprised by LoveThe first Sunday of Advent! The Advent wreath candle was lit. Songs were sung and prayers offered. The story of the Annunciation was shared. Will we receive it? Can we live with an openness to God's love and choosing of us? Can we, this week, be surprised by God's love and say with Mary, "Let it be."
