Fluent in Wonder
Today is Pentecost Sunday. How do we encounter the Holy Spirit today? Can and will we be amazed and transformed? And if so, what difference might that make…in us and to the world around us?
In the World
What does it mean to be “in” the world but not “of” it? How do we live deeply, fully, faithfully in this precious world AND remember that we belong to another world as well… the kin-dom that is still becoming? What does one have to do with the other?
Completing Joy
Join us as we examine the invitation to “abide in Christ’s love.” But for what purpose? To what end? JOY!
To Abide or Not To Abide…
Jesus asks us to abide, and Phillip’s encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch gives us an example. What does it mean to abide in Christ and to allow Christ to abide in us? To what extent do we choose such abiding?
I Am/We Are Right Here Right Now
On this Sunday closest to Earth Day, we celebrate God’s creation and remember our connection to one another and all that God has made.
Wandering Heart…Here’s My Heart
In many ways, our scripture passage for this Sunday brings us full circle… back to fishermen by the seashore, doing what they do best: fishing. In this passage from John, the disciples encounter the risen Christ who prepares breakfast for them over an open fire.
Living Life Through a Lens of Gratitude
Certified Lay Minister Dakota Koenig from UMC Vista brings us a message about living in gratitude.
Wandering Heart… And I Hope
Happy Easter! Today we contemplate HOPE… what that meant and how it came for Peter and what it means for us in the context of our lives and world.
Wandering Heart… Songs of Loudest Praise
On Palm Sunday, after everything the disciples had been through, after everything Peter knew (and still didn’t know) about Jesus, what must he have felt as he watched Jesus and heard the hopeful songs of the crowd?
Wandering Heart…Teach Me
We are quickly approaching the events of Holy Week but make one last stop with Peter and Jesus as Peter asks a sincere question of his teacher…how many times do I forgive?
