The Way: He Is The Way Matthew 17:1-9

The Way: Keep The Way Matthew 5:21-37

The Way: Light the Way Matthew 5:13-20

There are many paths to follow in life. Many roads to choose from. But there is only one that leads to eternal life and salvation. It’s a path through Christ, back to the Father, and into heaven. It’s a path where the meek, the broken-hearted, the gentle, the persecuted, the peacemaker, and others are welcomed. It’s a path where we are invited to participate, to light the way for others and to kee...

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!

While facing reality can sometimes cause us great pain and sorrow, Jesus shows us how this important step can lead us to necessary, God-seeking action. Sunday – Luke 19:41-48 Monday – Isaiah 42:1-9 Tuesday – Hebrews 9:11-15 Wednesday – 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Holy/Maundy Thursday – John 13:1-17 Good Friday – Matthew 27:45-51 Saturday – John 19:30-42

In a world of “either/or,” lament can bring us to a more honest place of “both/and.” We can both reckon with the full weight of our sorrows and experience hope in our faithful, loving God. Sunday – Lamentations 3:19-24 Monday – Romans 15:13 Tuesday – Psalm 130:5 Wednesday – 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Thursday – Zephaniah 3:17 Friday – Psalm 42:11 Saturday – Romans 5:1-5

When we recognize or experience injustice, crying out together in words and actions can move us closer to God’s vision for humanity and stir us to make change. Sunday – Esther 4:1-5 Monday – Galatians 6:1-2 Tuesday – John 13:34-35 Wednesday – 1 Peter 4:1-8 Thursday – Matthew 18:20 Friday – 1 John 1:7 Saturday – Psalm 133:1

Jesus did not always love his options and in the midst of lament, he still freely chose to surrender to God. Sunday – Matthew 26:36-46 Monday – 2 Timothy 1:7 Tuesday – Galatians 2:17-21 Wednesday – James 4:7-10 Thursday – Jeremiah 10:23-24 Friday – Matthew 6:33 Saturday – Matthew 26:39

Job’s response to his friends ensures us that we can be honest with God in even the most painful situations, trusting God to be God in the process. Here are this week's Scripture readings. Sunday – Job 13:1-13 Monday – Proverbs 12:22 Tuesday – Proverbs 19:1 Wednesday – John 8:32 Thursday – 2 Timothy 2:15 Friday – 1 John 3:18 Saturday –Proverbs 6:16-20

In Lent, lament invites us to face our humanity. Lament is a natural part of our faithful, loving response to a world marked by sin and brokenness. Weekly Scripture readings: Sunday – Psalm 13 Monday – John 11:31-33 Tuesday – Psalm 102 Wednesday – Amos 5:1-8 Thursday – Jeremiah 4:7-8 Friday – Psalm 22 Saturday – Psalm 23

Some of our deepest troubles can come from within us. As we bring them to God, we can grieve and turn from our sins with readiness to receive God’s ever-present grace. Psalm 51:1-17

God’s mercies are new every morning! But sometimes it is easy for us to get stuck in the same old routine.

Outside of the story about Jesus in the temple as a 12-year-old, we have no record of the life of the infant, child, teenage, young man King until he presents himself for baptism at 30 years old. What do we make of this? The answer: there is a proper time, and Godly timing, for Jesus' life - in particular, for his incredible ministry. There's a lot we can learn from this. There is a proper...
