For Sunday
-
In the baptism of Jesus, we are invited to look beyond the origin story of Jesus and to the work he is called to do in the world.
-
As frightening as last week’s apocalyptic talk is, the familiarity of John the Baptizer lulls us into a comfortable vision of Advent.
-
We begin Advent with apocalyptic imagery, not to scare us straight as much as remind us that God’s promise is change.
-
The teaching at the end of Matthew 25 serves to remind Christians of our focus: not to our own interests, but in helping those around us.
-
This week we’re invited to reimagine the story we think we’re receiving—not as an invitation to do things, but to see what it begets.
