Faith
The search for meaning, purpose, and relationship. Our need for love compels us to seek it out, and when we find it, share it.

We might not focus on the gospel passage this Sunday, but if we do, we should probably check the background—it is spicy!

Pentecost gives us plenty to talk about each year. We must start with what it is we need to focus on—and some of what we don’t.
