May 31, 2026: We’re On A Mission From God
Today, we find ourselves once again in the gospel according to Matthew. Chapter 28 details Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, and in this gospel, the risen Jesus greets Mary Magdalene and tells her to send the disciples to Galilee, where he will meet them. There’s a few verses in between about the reaction of Pilate

May 24, 2026 – One Spirit (Pentecost)
Today is Pentecost Sunday, also known as ‘the birthday of the church.’ But why is it called ‘Pentecost?’ If you think back to Holy Week, you may remember that Jesus’ death and resurrection happened right around Passover, arguably the largest and most significant Jewish festival – both then and now. But Passover is part of

May 17, 2026 – Whatcha Lookin’ At?
Today, we celebrate Ascension Sunday – the day we see Jesus ascend to sit at the right hand of God the Father. So we’ll be diving into Acts. The full title of this book ‘Acts of the Apostles’, which is a surprisingly accurate description. Written by the same person who wrote the gospel according to

May 10, 2026 – Hallelujah
Our Scripture reading for today appropriately comes from the book of Psalms – the hymnal and prayer book of God’s people for thousands of years. Scripture: Psalm 147 Praise the Lord!How good it is to sing praises to our God, for he is gracious, and a song of praise is fitting.The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers

Today, we’re going to take a little detour in the New Testament, all the way over to 1 Peter. It’s one of the shorter letters, so it’s toward the back of our Bibles. Your fun fact for the day is that the letters in the New Testament – everything between Acts and Revelation – aren’t

First Reading: Ezekiel 34:1-16 Ezekiel spoke specifically to the people of Judah, exiled to Babylon after the overthrow of the southern kingdom and destruction of the first temple in 586 BCE.

April 19, 2026 – Walking & Talking
Today, we’re going to hop on over to the gospel according to Luke for one of the classic Easter stories – the walk to Emmaus. This encounter takes place on the day of resurrection. Scripture: Luke 24:13-35 Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles

Easter Sunday 2026 – Jesus, the Wounded Healer
As we enter the story of resurrection, we’re going to pick up in the gospel according to John, chapter 20. We usually read this passage on two separate weeks, as separate stories – but today, I wanted us to hear both stories as one continuous narrative. As we listen, I want you to listen for

March 29, 2026 – Jesus, King
This Sunday marks the high point in the season of Lent—the Sunday when we get to shout with joy and cry out ‘hosanna!’ to the king who can, indeed, save us. That is what ‘hosanna’ means, after all. We meet Jesus on his way to Jerusalem, coming from Jericho with a crowd following behind. Scripture:

March 22, 2026 – Jesus, The Resurrection & The Life
Today we continue in our series on some of the most essential pieces of who Jesus is. Our Teacher, the Son of God, Living Water, the Light of the World —and today, we encounter Jesus just outside of Jerusalem, with his friends. Now, it’s important to know that at the beginning of this story, Jesus
