"Because God, the light, always comes looking for us. Emmanuel - God is with us - is a promise that no matter what happened, God would be with God's people. Even when, especially when, we forget to look."

"This is often where doubt begins for us as well isn't it? Something happens and we believe God would act in a certain way at a certain time, and when that doesn't happen, we're disappointed. And we doubt. We doubt what we believe to be true about God, and often, we doubt ourselves."

"Isn't that a beautiful image? All of us, those who came before us, we ourselves, and those to come, do and will continue to live in God's heart."

"The early church called everyone who had faith in Jesus a saint. And so today's celebration is not just about those christians whose names have been added to a calendar, it's for all of the faithful in every generation, past, present , and yet to come, who look to Christ in hope."

"In other words, this parable is for everybody...this is the lesson we need when we are tempted to believe that we are better, that we are favored, that we are good in a way that others are not."

"The all too familiar tension between the powerful and the powerless... is where Jesus shows us the true nature of God - by showing us what God is not."

"When we have built our self worth and relationship to God around things we do as opposed to what god has done for us... this can lead us to a very dark place indeed."

"The purchase of a field isn’t about practicality. It isn’t about sound financial judgment. The purchase is about hope. Reckless, optimistic hope."

"Lament is grief expressed. Sometimes it is at or to God, sometimes it is about the world and its injustices. Lamenting a loss or a grievance can be a powerful tool for mending a broken heart... Our God is big enough to handle our grief, especially when it grows too great for us to carry ourselves."

"You don't have to be 'out there' to be lost. Lost-ness is part of a life of faith. It happens to everyone."

"Jesus wants us to know that discipleship is hard, that it has a cost. But, importantly, discipleship is available to EVERYONE."

"And yet, despite knowing how all these prophets will respond God keeps calling them. God continues to call people who not only have a deep love for God, but also who have a strong, healthy sense of humility, because none of us can do anything alone."
www.historicchristchurch.org
"We are participants in God's world and we are participants in making it right. Making a world in which everyone is valued, has what they need for thriving, not just a few, not even several, but all."
www.historicchristchurch.org
"In the story of our scriptures we can see a religious community grappling with itself, with current events, and with how it wants to respond in faithfulness to God."
