Our confidence in God does not stay static - it rises and falls. And maybe that’s ok. It’s certainly the story of Psalm 46.

it’s not always so bad to let your mind wander in prayer. That’s what today’s passage is all about.

Today we are invited to put into a simple practice around being still. What might God say?

The writers of Psalm 46 lay claim to an family name that’s associated with a curse in the Bible. Perhaps it’s a way for them to reclaim their own humanity in the process.

Today a blessing is pronounced over you. Receive it. Reflect on it. Live into it.

One way to think about idols is to think through the ways we mis-prioritize power, production, and pleasure.

Nations rage and so do we. Scripture names these realities - and that naming becomes a gift for us if we’re open to seeing where the Spirit might lead us away from destruction and into life.

Peter summed up Jesus’s life as “he went around doing good.” Would your neighbors think to describe you that way?

There’s no better time than July 4th to remember who is God and to surrender our insecurities about our nation to God.

Today we read a modern parable to revisit the lavish love of Jesus.

Hear the Father’s heart for you today, whether you are the younger son or the older son.

It’s not just the younger son who is the foolish one in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. The Father is foolish as well.

In the story of the Prodigal Son there were TWO sons who ran away from the father. One just did it while staying at the house.

Perhaps the younger son wasn’t driven away by his father or even by his own selfishness… perhaps there was another culprit.

Today we expand our approach to understanding how Christ’s life set us right with God.

The Bible uses different images to talk about what Christ accomplished on the cross. Today we look at the image of the scapegoat.

Scripture teaches us that God chose us before the beginning of time… that has serious implications for how we see ourselves.

The cross has been understood many ways over the centuries - but James Cone points us to one of the ways it absolutely must be understood today in America.

Today we reflect on the Juneteenth prayer we spent time in yesterday at church, continuing to thank God for freedom and asking God for the grace to participate in the continuing work of justice.

Today we pray through the thoughtful prayer from our Sunday service.
