Epiphany
Thirsty for the Life that Satisfies
We believe the Spirit will live through us, satisfying our thirst and flowing out of us as a joyful river of living water for all the world to see.
Epiphany
Standing in Awe, Hungry for God
This is why we gather: to make space for something beyond what we ourselves can do or comprehend, to sit in awe, to acknowledge our hunger for God.
Epiphany
Holding Space to Dwell with God
Using St. Teresa of Avila’s metaphor, we all have an interior castle. Someone’s going to move in. Who do we allow to live there? To take residence?
Epiphany
So Much More Can Be Mended
If Peter can be mended after his denials and despair, if the gap between us and God can be mended, surely too will our broken world be. Are you ready?
Epiphany
The Wages of Sin are Indeed Death
Sin is not indifferent nor neutral; it actively kills what is good. And tonight, we see sin killing Jesus, goodness and love personified.
Epiphany
“Mother, Here is Overwhelming Love”
Mary sees her own son, born in a manger to her and Joseph so many years ago, dying, brutally, for us. She sees the love of God, saving the world.
Epiphany
Joining in Humble Service, Mutual Love
I think we need to wash each other’s feet all the time, the entire church, the entire world. This may be the sacrament this world is deeply missing.
Epiphany
Living in the Resurrection and the Life
Death, grief, pain, they are real, we know this. But in Christ, we have life. That is what Jesus is inviting us to: to life, life now and everlasting.
Epiphany
For God So Loves the World
May we so love the world, so that everyone we meet may believe and love and join us in this eternal life, that the world might be saved through love.
Epiphany
Dwelling in the Transcendent and Immanent
We get to worship God, the transcendent, and we get to build God’s kingdom on earth, the immanent, because God came to this world on Christmas.
Epiphany
An Invitation to World-Changing Relationships
We are invited as followers of Christ to change the world, to bring forth the kingdom of God in our daily lives. And we can start doing it today.
Epiphany
God’s Presence Changes Everything Still Today
God’s presence is available and with us today, comforting us, teaching us, reminding us, shaping us, to make this all more like the Kingdom of God.
