The Gospel of Matthew recounts Jesus' ministry of healing, teaching, feeding and sending from the shores of Capernaum in Galilee to the royal city of Jerusalem in Judea. We witness Him call and send disciples, challenge religious leaders and inspire crowds as He shepherds them as harassed and helpless sheep.

We reflect on the two titles Jesus is given in Matthew 8:18 - 34, the self-given "Son of Man" and the demonic-given "Son of God." We look at the Old Testament roots and what the titles mean about our Savior Shepherd.

We go deep into Matthew as the writer of the gospel that bears his name, noting the history behind how the gospel came to be so widely known and a bit more about who Matthew was.

The number 40 plays an outsized role in many of the stories of Scripture: from the number of days it rained on the ark, to the length of time Jesus spent in the wilderness prior to His temptation. The 40-day period of Lent acts in a similar way, where the length of time shapes and forms the faith of those called to trust in God. During this 40-day season of Lent, we will study the Bible passages w...

We reflect on a portion from No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler and conversation she had with a friend about tragic, apocalyptic and pastoral time. 

We look at the way in which the author of Esther uses feasts and banquets to organize the book, reflecting also on the Feast of Communion we celebrate as Christ's disciples.

When life does not go the way we expect, we are tempted toward one of two extremes. On the one extreme, there is a weak god (if there is a god at all), and we are left to the whims of the universe. On the other extreme, the God in charge simply acts...and people are just puppets. The world of Esther undermines these extremes as we meet people who are called to act in the midst of immensely difficu...
