Ugly Christmas sweater parties, holiday work events, gifts under the tree, meals around the table, family spending time together, hopes of winter-ish weather, etc... These certainly play a part in the most wonderful time of year, but we know that something else is at the heart of the Christmas season. Buried underneath the busyness of the holiday season is the reason we celebrate. The Heart of Chr...

The Thanksgiving season is a time when most of us naturally think about spiritual things even more than usual. We think about what we're thankful for, express our gratitude, and think about volunteering and how we can share our blessings with others. It's a natural time of spiritual openness for us, so it's a good time to talk about what it means to grow as a follower of Jesus. This Sunday, we sta...

For our Fall 2023 All-Church study, we're reading Josh Scott's "Bible Stories for Grown-Ups: Reading Scripture with New Eyes". We'll be looking at how reading familiar stories from the Bible through a wiser, more mature lens can expand our idea of God. So often we’re introduced to these Bible stories in Sunday school, and we get the most simplified, surface level reading of them. But it’s importan...

For millennia, Psalms has been one of the most beloved books of the Bible. These ancient poems and songs have spoken to us in moments of joy and in times of deep suffering. But Psalms is more than a random collection of ancient Israel’s greatest hits. It’s an invitation to see God in a different way, and to step into a faith that includes all of who we are. Like the psalmists, we are free to be ou...

The prophets we encounter in the Old Testament are probably far more relevant to our time that we realize. They lived in a divided, contentious, and uncertain time. They could see beneath the surface and warned their contemporaries of where division and injustice would lead. They spoke out on behalf of the oppressed and urged their society to practice God's justice and righteousness, which meant t...
