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.
-
In Jesus’s visit to Capernaum, we are confronted with our own stuff about the world. But the context offers us a different look at things.
-
This week’s gospel can be read shallow or deep. But if we go deeper, will we like what we find? About Jesus or ourselves?
-
Moving from the call stories to Jesus’s miraculous ministry might leave us with the wrong impression that this is normal.
-
So many Christians want to pretend like being a Christian is normal or that Jesus himself is normal, but his works amaze and frighten.
-
Before we leave the call stories behind, we should really deal with what they mean for us. And for the gospel itself.
-
The thing about the call stories is that we take their character for granted. Because we’re in. But they are way bigger than that.
