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.
-
The word and the concept get us all twisted. We think we’ve got it. Or that the church does. And then we prove we don’t.
-
Before we read this week about Jesus criticizing this current generation, we should figure out what he’s been up to.
-
In the midst of community tragedy, we see ready examples of generous welcome. What is it that we offer each other?
-
There is a distinct challenge in this week’s gospel. But it is based more on where we see ourselves in it. As welcomed or welcomer.
-
As we read about Jesus teaching about welcome, we might think it starts here, with this, and not from our being unwelcome.
-
The concept of welcome is generous and novel today. It used to be normal. That difference is important for us to recognize.
