The Parable of New Wineskins seems to be about abandoning the old and replacing it with the new. But what if the old and new are both needed? What happens when our traditions are not to be lost when our imagination invites new growth?

Jesus spent most of his time teaching people about God’s Kingdom (or Kin-dom), and used this unique teaching tool – parables – to engage people. They are creative and thought-provoking, relevant and insightful. Jesus also used these stories to teach people about the values of this new way of love and justice…this counter-cultural way of being human.
AND…they are more applicable to our context than we could ever imagine!

MONEY. WEALTH. RICHES. Whether we want to believe it or not, our place in history, our place in the world, puts us in the category of the wealthy. We can always look to someone with more...but Jesus gave this parable to poor, subjugated peasants in first century Palestine...so we don't have an excuse not to engage the hard realities of what Jesus is saying.
But what if Jesus isn't simply against wealth?!
Could this parable be more...

On Saturday, June 14th, we woke in Minnesota to the devastating news that Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark had been murdered, and that Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were in critical condition after being shot.
The question that lingered on my mind was, 'How do we move towards grace?'
There isn't an easy or simple answer, and this might not be the time for one. But as followers of Jesus and as those who...

The Parable of the Prodigal Son (or the Forgiving Father) in Luke 15 is one of the most famous parables in scripture. The audacity of the story on every level is what still makes it one of the most impactful stories in all of the Bible.
The plan is to look at it from four perspectives. The younger son who leaves, the father who is waiting, the older brother who stayed home, and the communities with whom they interacted along the w...

Easter @ Peace | 7 Miles
The road between Jerusalem and Emmaus was 7 miles. Two of Jesus' disciples didn't remain in town long enough to see if the rumors of resurrection were true. Instead, they started making their way back to Emmaus. And suddenly an incognito Jesus was among them and acted like he didn't know what had happened in the city that weekend. Shocked and sarcastic, the two disciples share their sadness. But Jesus calls...
Good Friday @ Peace
This episode features three spoken word reflections that were given on Good Friday.
The Cross is Personal
The Cross is Communal
The Cross is a Stumbling Block and Foolish
The final reflection takes its reference from 1 Corinthians where Paul presents the cross as this subversive moment in human history that confounded people in the moment. And it still does today!
Each of these reflections are origi...
Acts 16.31 is one of the seminal passages in the Bible.
‘Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved’.
It’s such a simple verse, but the implications are tremendous. It’s a verse about believing and Jesus and salvation. Much of church doctrine and mission come back to this singular passage.
So during Lent we are going to dive in and unpack this verse, word-by-word and phrase-by-phrase. Maybe it will teach us more than we think...

Story Telling | Winter 2025 @ Peace
