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 idea of needing to know what to do and where to go is so natural. This is why Jesus says we already know.
-
This week, we get a familiar example of the challenge of literalism. How we struggle to see the answer is in front of us.
-
We like to be welcomed. But welcoming others takes effort. And between these two truths is what Jesus really wants.
-
There is some serious material in the gospel narrative before we get to John 14 this week that informs what we’re reading.
-
Lectionary preachers have a challenge in Easter 4A. A choice between economics and safety. And none of it feels safe.
-
In our reading, Jesus switches metaphors. From one we like to one that is more troubling. But it doesn’t have to be.
