Being Told Who You Are (Luke 14: 1, 7-14)
So what would it look like if we lived this out? It’d look like neighborhoods where homeowners invite renters. Schools where kids who get free lunch sit at the head table. Churches where people on th…

What We Protect Matters (Luke 13:10–17)
And we’re the key. We need to make sure this room isn’t welcoming to indifference. We need to advocate that meetings halt until anonymous faces have names. We need to fight for budgets that carry a c…

When the World’s on Fire (Luke 12:49-56)
We live in a world where so many go to bed terrified—parents for their children’s safety, and children for their parents, that they won’t be targeted and rounded up just because of the color of their…

Maybe Charity’s the Problem (Luke 12:32-40)
In the world God desires, apparently, the more we have, the less we get to choose whether or not to give. Viewing giving as an act of justice that the giver is obliged to perform helps correct power …

When Enough Isn't Enough Luke 12:13-21
To be rich toward God is to divest from the myth of self-sufficiency. To stop pretending we'll live forever if we just insulate ourselves well enough. It means investing in what death can't repossess…

Shameless Prayer Luke 11:1-13
But here’s the thing, real prayer to the God who doesn't do shame produces people who stop using shame as a sorting tool. If God rushes in to help with zero calculations, then maybe the question isn'…

Justice Matters (Amos 8:1-12)
But Amos is raining down fire on the whole nation. Everybody. Why? Because the crimes against the powerless Amos lays out aren’t just a few rotten apples. The crimes Amos names are institutionalized;…

Walking Into a World on Fire (Acts 2:1-21)
God didn't show up to make everybody speak the same language. God showed up so we could understand one another across our differences. That's not a return to uniformity. That's a celebration of diver…

Not of Which World? (John 17:6-19)
When we refuse to worship at the altar of consumerism, when we choose justice over profit, when we stand with the oppressed against their oppressors, and speak truth in the face of lies, we’re going …

When God Makes a Home (John 14:23-29)
Of course, it's not always easy. Some days, the world drags you into the courtroom and puts your soul on trial. You get accused—by others, by your own failures, by that nagging voice in your head. Bu…

More Than Being Right (John 13:31–35)
Living this way isn’t easy. It means turning away from all the ways we’ve weaponized faith and marginalized people in God’s name. It means learning to see people as Jesus sees them, not as projects o…

Normal, Everyday Resurrection (Acts 9:36-43)
I find it fascinating, and not a little bit instructive, to think that God can make something out of us that nobody ever thought we could be. Knowing ourselves as we do—that God chooses us to embody …

Sometimes They Do (Acts 9:1-20)
Dramatic conversion stories are never merely stories about dramatic conversions. They’re preludes to the real story. In fact, the real reason we care about this story at all is because of what happen…

Passing Peace (John 20:19-31)
Jesus didn't say, "I've overthrown Rome! Now we'll have peace!" He simply said, "Peace be with you," while showing them his wounds. His peace bears the marks of suffering. It doesn’t deny pain; it tr…

The Dawn That Defied Caesar (Luke 24:1-12)
We’re the kind of Easter people who don't just decorate the sanctuary once a year, but who live with rolled-away stones and open doors and trembling joy. We practice resurrection in how we vote, how …

I Will Not Be Put to Shame (Isaiah 50:4-9a)
Words can heal and bring life: “The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word.” There’s nothing quite so wonderful in the world as when you’r…

Hiding the Poor (John 12:1–8)
Jesus wants his disciples to understand that poor and low-wealth people aren’t some distinct underclass that we can shuffle off to the shadows because they make us uncomfortable. They’re not a proble…

Lousy Parenting (Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32)
This parable is a story about bad parenting, about a father who’s willing to give it all away … even to kids who’ve proven they don’t deserve it. It’s a story about the love of a parent who persists …

The Days Are Surely Coming (Jeremiah 33:14-16)
We peer into the distance for the one who will execute justice and righteousness in the land, who will redeem God’s children from ordinary days, filled with the soul-crushing fear that this world of …

How Will We Know? (Mark 13:1-8)
We trivialize the gospel when we convince ourselves that it’s possible to be a disciple of Jesus without it ever costing us anything. Following Jesus is hard. He asks so much. And he fails to provide…
