The Third Sunday after Pentecost. 
Some of us believe in God; some question those beliefs. Some of us talk about Jesus and God; some don’t. Perhaps what matters most isn’t what we say about Jesus but how we live out his teachings with one another.

Trinity Sunday. 
Nicodemus may be the most misunderstood man in the New Testament. To misunderstand him is to potentially misunderstand how to grow in faith and godliness.

According to the 2024 World Happiness Report, American happiness is on the decline. Jesus offers his disciples some advice about love and commandments that might guide us in cultivating that joy today.

The Fifth Sunday of Easter. 
Is your spiritual baggage keeping you disconnected from God? Jesus’ teaching about vines and branches helps us understand how staying connected to him helps us rid ourselves of the things that drag us down.

The Fourth Sunday of Easter. 
In the beginning, God sang all of creation into existence, but does God lament the destruction that has followed since? How can practicing a spiritual humility give us a reverence for all living things on Earth and how might it lead us to resist the forces of destruction in this world?

The Third Sunday of Easter. 
The Easter message gives people hope that good things can come out of dark times and that there may indeed be a life beyond this one. But when it comes to believing in the resurrection, the concept can feel a bit unreasonable. What if those of us gathered as the church are the most reasonable proof yet?

The Second Sunday of Easter. 
The recent earthquake and solar eclipse are certainly events that captivate us for a period of time, but do they change anyone’s life? John’s Gospel presents a resurrection appearance that left all involved forever changed. By participating in that resurrection experience today, we may find ourselves changed as well.

Easter Day. 
Jesus has appeared in numerous places over the years, from seashores to operating tables and even Bob Dylan's dressing room. In each of these situations, the people who encounter him leave rocked. So how is it that we've dumbed down something as amazing and mysterious as the resurrection?

The Great Vigil of Easter. 
The Great Vigil, like many things, starts in darkness...but that is not where it ends. If you're feeling stuck in life's dark, tight places, you may find hope in the stories of the exodus, baptism, and the resurrection. They show us a way not out but through.

Good Friday. 
It’s not just confirmation students who wrestle with the idea of why Jesus had to die. For many adults, the challenging story of the cross has been about God punishing an innocent Jesus for our sins, while others have preferred to distance themselves from this story altogether. What might we experience if we sit with the discomfort and remain open to what the cross is teaching us?

Maundy Thursday. 
Why have we made Christ’s last meal into a regular sacrament but only recognize his act of foot washing once a year? In this act of extravagant giving and risky receiving, we remember who we are as the body of Christ.

The Fifth Sunday in Lent. 
Like the saints of old, we yearn to see Jesus. In encountering both the crucified Christ and the risen Christ, we also discover things about ourselves and a new way of life.

The Fourth Sunday in Lent. 
An Old Testament story about bronze serpents, snakebites, and the wilderness may not sound relatable today. On the other hand, it might be the perfect metaphor for those who feel "bitten" by life, and it might even strengthen our understanding of why Jesus came into the world.

The Third Sunday in Lent. 
Jesus might be known for his peaceful ways but he certainly had some moments of disruption. What do these dramatic actions reveal about Jesus and what do they say about his zeal for us?

The Second Sunday in Lent. 
Some of Jesus’ advice was pretty hard to swallow! He knew that for his followers then, as for many Christians today, following him could be life-threatening. For those of us who don’t face religious persecution, how do Jesus’ words call us to show up for those who do?
