The Bread of Life

One of the things I’ve always loved about Jesus is how He rarely answered a question in the way people expected. Throughout the Gospels, we see people coming to Him wanting a list of do’s and don’ts or a specific answer, and Jesus rarely delivered. And yet, although His answer

The Result of Faith

In both of the passages we read today, we see women who had so much faith in Jesus that they relentlessly sought out healing, one for her child and the other for herself.  I have always loved these stories, but I especially love the story about Jesus in Luke 8.

Giving from Gratitude

Have you ever met someone who is generous with their time, their finances, and their support, but they aren’t afraid to let you know it? Or even worse, maybe they hold their generosity over the recipient’s head, just waiting to call in a favor in return. Someone whose generosity actually

Trustworthy and True

Every few years, I’ll start a Bible reading plan that takes me through the whole grand narrative of Scripture in a year. And I must confess, when I would reach passages where genealogies span over multiple verses, I used to be a bit disappointed in the day’s readings. “Oh it’s

A God Who Redeems

 I don’t know about you, but I’ve been through a variety of seasons in my faith journey. I’ve lived through fruitful seasons, and I’ve also experienced seasons of suffering where I didn’t see how God could redeem it. And yet He did. I’ve sat alone in my bedroom at night,

I Am Adopted

I grew up in an imperfect, but truly lovely family. My mom and dad loved each other, and they also loved me and my brother fiercely. They showed up to all of our sporting events, we ate meals together in the evenings, and we had a lot of fun. Don’t

How the Imago Dei Changes Everything

I don’t know about you, but the last few years have been hard. Between living in a global pandemic, racial tensions, and seeing how divided our society is on almost every issue, I’ve grown tired and weary. Like many of you, I’ve lost friends and family members to an angry

Life and Life Abundantly

Have you ever sought out one thing in life, thinking it would bring you comfort, only to find that you actually were looking for something else?  I do this often.  It can be something as simple as thinking that going for a walk will help me clear my head, only

To the End of the Age

Have you ever felt the rejection of people you thought would welcome you with open arms? Have you ever delivered a message expecting one reaction, only to be met with disdain? Jesus has.  I think sometimes, because Jesus lived a perfect life, we forget that He lived, walked, and experienced

Faith that Overcomes Shame

I love the story of Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52. Bartimaeus was a blind man, a beggar sitting by the road when Jesus and His disciples passed by. Bartimaeus was a man whose life was marked by shame. During that time period, disabilities were reasons to cast out people rather than
