  • Jesus Rose from the Dead, Ascended to Heaven and is Seated at the Right Hand of the Father
    Jesus Rose from the Dead, Ascended to Heaven and is Seated at the Right Hand of the Father

    Too often, religion is about a new program - seven steps to a deeper faith or four tips to transform your marriage. But the reason Jesus came to earth was because we can't improve ourselves. We're lost under the power of sin. The good news is that his resurrection offers us something better than self-improvement. We have been given the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. How can we learn to wait and notice where the Spirit is at work in our daily lives?

  • Jesus Descended to Hell
    Jesus Descended to Hell

    Fear keeps us from risking, from being vulnerable. But confessing that Jesus descended to Hell is an announcement that the power of Death is broken, and that the way of risk and vulnerability truly does lead to life. We can follow Jesus even to the grave, trusting in his resurrection power to bring life where we risk.

  • Jesus was Crucified, Died and was Buried
    Jesus was Crucified, Died and was Buried

    Sin is a word we don't like to talk about, but we've all felt the weight of failure when we miss the mark. In Jesus' crucifixion, we find a God who responds to our sin not with condemnation but love. We find freedom from our sin and for our calling.

  • Jesus was Born of a Virgin and Suffered Under Pilate
    Jesus was Born of a Virgin and Suffered Under Pilate

    When we fail, we want to shrug our shoulders and insist we're 'only human'. Human means limited, doomed to let people down. But Jesus' incarnation invites us to consider that we might be meant for more than we could've imagined.

  • Jesus Christ, God’s Only Son
    Jesus Christ, God’s Only Son

    Awe: we've all experienced it. Those moments under the stars when time slows down. The joy of a child's love. Moments when the sacred seems to burst into our everyday lives. These moments are Jesus, God's Son, inviting us to join in God's life. They're good for us, and we should seek them out more often. How can we find that life?

  • God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth
    God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth

    Hopelessness has taken root in our culture. Many of us wonder if life truly has any meaning at all. The Apostle's Creed opens by affirming that God is the creator. This is not a scientific claim, but an insistence that each of us matters, that we all have a purpose.

  • I Believe
    I Believe

    For many, belief is the beginning of a relationship with God. But many others struggle with knowing what Christians actually believe. Many more have doubts and questions that are not easily quieted. Is belief really a barrier to a relationship with God? Or can we learn to follow as we learn to believe? Can believe be an invitation to a deeper trust in the God who wants to help our unbelief?

  • Don’t Hold Your Breath
    Don’t Hold Your Breath

    How long can you go without breathing? A minute? Two? Five? We can't do much unless we breathe... and Pentecost reminds us that the Spirit is God's breath in us. How can we take time to breathe in God's Spirit so that we have the power to do what God calls us to in this world?

  • Star Trek
    Star Trek

    We tend to quit when relationships get hard – that’s because truly intimate, life-changing relationships take a lot of work. How can we embrace the pain of true community for the sake of our own faith, the faith of others in our community, and ultimately, the faith of our world?

  • The Act of Killing
    The Act of Killing

    In the face of unspeakable evils in the world, how can we respond? Peter challenged early Christians to remain faithful to live out the story of Jesus. How does that make a difference? How can the Jesus story lived out in our lives be a path of resistance? And how does the resurrection make that resistance possible?
