This week we look at what it means that Jesus is the Good Shepherd.
This week we look at the community in Acts 4 and how it calls us to an impossible task of loving. We try to release ourselves to God in order for God’s work to be accomplished in and through us.
This week we interrogate what we consider spiritual and what we consider not spiritual and why. We try to recognize the spiritual significance of everything in our lives, even the things we understand.
This week we learn about how to give and receive love. We learn how to need people and how to be needed by people and how this need calls us to discipleship. Our mutuality is part of our sanctification.
In this first week of Advent we remember how Christ has come and delivered us and how we continue to wait for Christ to come again. We continue to pray for the coming of the Lord.
This week we see God’s humble love directed towards Moses and the Israelites as the God of the universe is willing to bend his will to Moses’ will. Not that God is forced or coerced, but freely chooses to do this out of love.
This week we return to Genesis and the story of Jacob. This week focuses on Jacob’s encounter with a mysterious man whom he wrestles for a blessing. We learn about Jacob’s renaming to Israel and how that name shapes the identity of the Israelites.
