When the executed one comes back, everyone expects retribution. The shock of resurrection is that he doesn’t.

Psalm 16 began as a farmer’s prayer about good land and steady faith — and became something bigger without leaving the earth behind.

The resurrection doesn’t restore what we lost — it reveals what we were always becoming: living icons through whom the world might glimpse the life of God.

When Jesus says “I am,” he’s not just making a claim — he’s pulling a thread that runs from a burning bush through a valley of dry bones to a man walking out of a tomb.

The desire for a fair universe is real and grief-filled – but Jesus steps outside that framework entirely, and invites us into something better.

Context changes everything. Where, when and how we encounter life changes what we seek and long for from God and faith. Adaptive faith allows for the constancy of God in our ever-changing lives. It also requires us to be fluid – like water!

A church discerns its new name while remembering that identity is not possession, but a journey of love shaped by God’s call to be a blessing.

In a world ruled by suspicion and blame, the gospel announces an abundance that was never earned and cannot run out.

Jesus’ Transfiguration reveals God’s liberating glory, calling us to justice, humility, and fearless love amid oppression.

Jesus calls us to be salt and light by living a public embodied faith that tells the truth, resists indifferent silence, and makes God’s justice and love visible in the world.

The call to live the beatitudes is not about turning them into a guilt-inducing to-do list, but about living a life that is a blessing to others.

In both the Christian church as well as the wider world, there is increasing division. Is there a way we can become genuine peacemakers in both church and world?
