In Luke 15:1-7, the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that Jesus associates with tax collectors and sinners and even eats with them. In response, Jesus tells them the story about “the lost and the found.” Who do you think is lost in the story? Who do you identify with? At its heart, this passage reveals the radical, searching love of God. How will we respond to this love?
In our spiritual journey, we experience a profound tension between God’s urgent call to repentance and God’s patient work of transformation. While God urgently calls us to turn from our sins, God also patiently transforms us over time into the image of Christ. This Sunday, we’ll explore how to live faithfully in this tension between God’s urgent call to repentance and the ongoing process of transformation.
In Luke 10:38-42, the well-known story of Mary and Martha has often been understood as a lesson on balancing faith and works—being and doing—both of which are inseparable in the life of a disciple. However, this Sunday, we will explore this passage through the lens of equity. What does Jesus’ response to Martha reveal about God’s justice?
The parable in Luke 10:25-37 begins and ends with a profound question: “Who is my neighbor?” This Sunday, we will revisit this timeless story and reconsider who we label as “stranger.” Moreover, we will examine ourselves if we have acted as good neighbors.
A narrative in Luke 9 illustrates that, despite good intentions, the potential disciples do not fully grasp the commitment and urgency of the discipleship Jesus expects. Are any of your actions misaligned with your intentions? Are there any actions toward God’s Kin-dom building that you have avoided? What spiritual practices will you commit to this Lent?
In 2 Samuel 12, Nathan confronts David with a parable, exposing his sin and calling him to accountability. Just as David misused his power and was blinded by his own actions, we face the consequences of injustice driven by self-interest. God calls us to do what is just and right in God’s sight.
Often on Sundays, we ask each other “How are you?!” A common response is “I’m good, how are you?” Can we share our struggles with each other? Can we let go of pride, become a little vulnerable, and allow our church family to help carry the burden? For we know that we were not made to be alone and together, we strengthen each other.
This Sunday, we will reflect on the meaning of “epiphany” as defined by Merriam-Webster: “a sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something.” Marcia Rasmussen will share personal moments where she experienced an epiphany of God’s love and how it renewed her commitment to embody that love in the world today. Together, we will explore how each of us can discover our purpose and path to be vessels of God’s love in a world that deeply needs it.
