In the Sabbath commandment we learn that God wants to spend time with us. Sabbath is practice for eternity. What is the Sabbath for?

omg...It is a common phrase when something is great, or terrible, or just mildly amusing. Some people say it so often they think nothing of it.

The second commandment shows that God wants more than our obedience; God wants our hearts.

The 10 Commandments are an invitation to covenant. That’s what God and the people were doing at Sinai: confirming a covenant. God has proven God's faithfulness and invites us to be faithful.

Rules somehow feel different when they are religious, don’t they? The words “thou shalt not” just have such weight. Religious rules can induce fear, and guilt, and judgment. Why did God choose to give us rules?

If God allowed Jesus to experience trials and temptations, what does that mean for us?

AI creates new ethical questions at a time when people do not agree on basic ethics. When people do not agree on right and wrong, how can we agree on what’s right and wrong for AI?

What is truth? That’s the question of our age. Modernism says truth is objective, factual, separate from the observer. Postmodernism says truth is subjective, relative, in the eye of the beholder. Israeli philosopher Yuval Harari claims that many truths are intersubjective: we decide together what’s true. Now we have AI to tell us what’s true. Have a question? Google it or use ChatGPT. Is truth kn...

Artificial Intelligence is poised to transform society. What might this mean for our lives, and our faith? Come to consider how our ancient faith is not only relevant but essential in an AI world.

Guest Rev. Martin Boardman reminds us that there is hope, there is renewal, and there are times of refreshing through Jesus Christ.

What do we do when we experience heartbreak? How can we seek healing?

Have you ever had a moment in time that transformed how you see life from then on? Sharing the stories of what we have actually experienced in our faith journey is a very scriptural thing to do! Eye witness accounts are of great importance in our human story; and also, in history of God’s people.

What do we do with the weird parts of the Bible?

Have you ever had a moment in your life when you declared, “This is not how the story was supposed to end!”? We think life is supposed to be comfortable, but we all know that’s not how life really works. There are hurts, trauma, broken relationships, illness, and death. But that's not the end of the story.

Can we live in a way that honors Jesus, points people to Jesus, and glorifies Jesus, instead of us? Is Jesus worth it?

Sometimes it feels like our lives or our history are a train going off the rails. Jesus reminds us that we are in God’s hands! God has a plan, God has a future for us, therefore we have hope.

These were the three main worldviews or perspectives during Jesus' lifetime, and Jesus did not fit any of them. In today's scripture passage, we are going to see Jesus go toe to toe with some great minds of his age and turns out: Jesus makes sense.

Life has all kinds of questions. What is the big question in your life right now? Are you seeking a true answer or an answer that you want to be true? How might God answer the question of your life?

People look at Jesus and ask, "Is he judging us?"

This Lent, we will walk through Jesus’ final week as written in the Gospel of Mark. Let me invite you to place yourself in the Jerusalem crowd and ask: who is that guy? Who is Jesus? What might we learn about him, and what might that mean for us?

We live in a world in transition with tons of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. We have two political movements promising that they will lead us to peace, and the other will lead us to disaster and this year, an election year, the stakes feel higher for both sides. Jesus has a prescient word for us today: “Watch out!

So many people live their lives for themselves, They focus on their own problems, put energy toward their own success and relationships, and advance their own agenda. We were made for something greater than ourselves. We were made to push back the darkness. 

What does that mean, exactly, to follow Jesus? Let’s look at his followers and see what we discover.

What is our greatest need?
