Grace
-
Who do we take Jesus for? Messiah. Lord. Our titles speak to our relationship. But what do we expect for him?
-
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.
-
The boundaries evident in the passage about the woman at the well are evocative. And so is the way Jesus crosses them.
-
The Beatitudes challenge us to see the love in vulnerability, hope in fear, and in the blessing of justice.
-
The gift of mercy is unearned grace. But it is also way more than that. It exists outside the earned/unearned continuum.
-
In a story we assume is about wealth, Jesus reveals our misconceptions about life, grace, and the human project.
