Today, we encounter the paradox that defines our faith: Jesus Christ is glorified king and humiliated servant. We too are full of paradox: like Peter, we fervently desire to follow Christ, but find ourselves afraid, denying God. We wave palms in celebration today as Christ comes into our midst, and we follow with trepidation as his path leads to death on the cross. Amid it all we are invited into this paradoxical promise of life through Christ’s broken body and outpoured love in a meal of bread and wine. We begin this week that stands at the center of the church year, anticipating the completion of God’s astounding work. (sundaysandseasons.com)

On the heels of the equinox and facing Holy Week, our Lent has been interrupted by resurrection. We ask, “Can these bones live?” Alone, we can’t, but filled with the breath of God, we can. Join us as we unbind one another from the old storylines of death and step into abundant life together.

While we fail to see in so many ways, Jesus sees what we truly need. He is the Light of the world who enters our shadows for our sake. Whatever you’re walking through this week, know that Jesus is willing to meet you in the midst of it all.

This week, we encounter the Samaritan woman at the well—a woman longing for dignity and a life beyond her labels. When Jesus speaks to her, he sees her fullness and loves her without exception. Join us as we explore what it means to receive “living water” and how being truly known can turn us into voices of hope for others.

If you only know one verse of scripture, there’s a good chance it’s John 3:16. Sometimes called the “gospel in miniature,” these famous words emerged from a lengthy conversation between Jesus and a teacher named Nicodemus. Despite all his knowledge, Nicodemus couldn’t quite grasp the message. Why? Because the gospel isn’t something we can make sense of by our own understanding. Join us this Sunday to learn what this means on our journey of faith.

On this first Sunday of Lent, we look at Jesus’ forty days in the wilderness. His journey is our journey, too. In doing what we couldn’t, he shows us a new way to live. Life brings trials and temptations, but you don’t have to face them alone. Jesus has ended the “blame game” and brings us the victory. Whether you’re feeling spiritually hungry or looking for a place to belong, come find the Bread of Life that truly satisfies.

On Sunday, we follow Peter, James, and John up the mountain. We see Jesus revealed in glory alongside Moses and Elijah, but we also see him reach out a hand to his terrified friends. Come and be sustained by the vision of a God who is for you. Whether you are on the mountaintop or in the valley, there is a place for you here as we begin the journey of the forty days and beyond.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus doesn’t ask us to become salt and light. Instead, he declares that through him, we already are. We don’t shine to be seen; we shine so that others can see the goodness of God. Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the grace that defines us and learn how to bring grace and mercy to a broken world.
