Certain passages in the Bible are familiar to us because, over the years, they have been stitched into decorative pillows and turned into inspirational posters.

On Easter morning we complete a sentence that was abandoned mid-thought on Good Friday. It’s a day when questions find their answers, and answers find themselves asking new questions. It may be just one day of the year, but it’s a day that sows its seeds of hope into all of our other days. Christ […]

In the season of Lent, we prepare ourselves for the celebration of Easter by following in the footsteps of Jesus. The gospels are filled with powerful and uplifting stories, and yet right from the very start, Jesus’ life was pointed toward the Cross. Let’s start at the beginning of his journey and pay attention to […]

By the time February rolls around, most of us are just about sick of winter. But the short days and cold nights linger, and for many people, this can be the most difficult month of the year. A life of faith requires us to press on through all seasons, so let’s spend some time learning […]

When Jesus talked about God, he spoke with intimacy and familiarity, calling God his Father. This riled the Jewish leaders of his day, and in some ways, it continues to create discomfort, with questions being asked about why we’re attributing gender to God at all.

The unfolding narrative of God’s redemptive work among the Hebrew people introduces us to the many names that were attributed to God over the years. Might these ancient labels have something to say to us as we long for God to act in our own day? Isaiah 45:18-25 http://podcasts.elevationwaterloo.org/The%20Holy%20One%20of%20Israel.mp3

In ancient Middle Eastern culture, to access the power of a god, you had to know their name. When Moses asks God for his name, Moses is asking for a way to access God’s power. But what power does God reveal to Moses when he uses the name, “I Am that I Am”? We will […]

The arrival of December brings with it all things Christmas: the cheery decorations, the cheesy music, and everything in between. But in the church, we try to take things at a slower pace, not rushing through to the main event quite yet. The season of Advent is a time of waiting, and of letting the […]
