This week we examine the baptism of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark. We learn how we are called to repent as a body, not just as individuals.
This week we learn about the Kingdom of Heaven and how we need to work to imagine it not as a far away place and time, but have it come into our lives this very moment.
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 learn about the Kingdom of God and how it differs from the kingdoms of this world. We learn about how the Good Shepherd will come and bring justice. We also learn how the Gospel isn’t for just individuals, but it is an invitation to join something larger than any individual.
This week we looks to the psalms to train us to rejoice and give thanks. We learn that celebration and joy takes practice just as much as praise or lament.
This week we look at the story of the Golden Calf. We see how idolatry is always around us and what it looks like in our lives today.
This week we dive into the ten commandments (with the sun setting earlier than usual) and how they are more nuanced and layered than we may initially think. What at first may seem as condemning law is actually loving direction.
This week we transition from Genesis to Exodus through the story of Moses’ birth. We talk about how, as Christians, we shouldn’t have allegiance with any particular political party, but be solely devoted to the Kingdom of God.
