God's Kingdom from Every Approach
Today's reading from Matthew 11 is straight out of a police procedural. Do you wanna be the good cop or the bad cop? Jesus compares his way of proclaiming God's Word to John's, and gives us a disappointing conclusion. But also, a promise that he is with us and caring for us no matter our…

Looking for Love - John 14.23-29
Jesus is with the disciples, preparing them for life after his death and resurrection. Though Easter feels like an event in the past (a person can only die once?), we are post-resurrection people still confronts by signs and words of death. Beyond the confines of our safe spaces, God is not...
