For Sunday
-
The parable of the sower can feel like perfectionism: Goldilocks meets self-help. It isn’t about making ourselves ideal. It’s about becoming whole.
-
Jesus sounds off on the people who aren’t getting with the program. Is this like our own complaints, or is it something else?
-
In the Day of Pentecost, we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit with great pomp and circumstance, but it relationship remains central.
-
In the Sunday between the Ascension and Pentecost, we continue to focus on the thing that Jesus wants us to hear: it’s about relationship.
-
In the Farewell Discourse, Jesus speaks to his followers about leaving, about what is coming, and about the trust that’s involved.
-
Jesus as shepherd is such a traditional image that its power to evoke is often granted easily. Is our own sense of place too easily granted?
