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.

  • As Jesus prepares his followers for his departure, he offers them the Holy Spirit. Which reflects a very different idea of gift-giving.

  • Our expectations of peace—so small and minor—prevent us from seeing just how important peace is to our lives.

  • The thing about love is that we act as if it’s optional. Like we have a choice. Jesus doesn’t actually give us the choice.

  • Not In?

    The dangers of a seemingly anti-semitic passage and the challenge of dealing with what it is actually trying to do.

  • It is so weird that Peter is naked and then clothes himself and then jumps in the water. How can we not talk about it?

  • Raised

    Notice that we don’t say Jesus rose from the dead. The resurrection is not the work of Jesus. It is the work of God in Jesus.
