500+ Witnesses – The Power of Collective Witness
Paul reminds us that Jesus appeared to over 500 people at once. That’s not just a statistic; it’s a reminder that transformative experience is often shared. Witness, testimony, and collective action are vital in shaping reality. One perspective alone is limited, but when communities see, testify, and act together, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. In our…

I am the Way John 14 Jesus said to his disciples, “Don’t be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me. 2 There are many rooms in my Father’s house. I wouldn’t tell you this, unless it was true. I am going there to prepare a place for each of you. 3 After I have done this, I…
Kids Korner: Feeling wobbly (May 3rd)
Read John 14:1-14 with your family. Have you ever had a day where your heart feels wobbly like you’re worried and you don’t know why? Jesus’ friends felt like that too. Everything w – as changing, and they were scared. So Jesus said something simple: “Don’t let your hearts be troubled… trust me.” Jesus didn’t promise…
Thomas – Questions as the Pathway to Faith
Thomas is often remembered as “doubting Thomas,” but that label misses the real gift he offers: questions are a natural and healthy part of faith. He didn’t reject belief outright; he sought encounter and clarity. Our world often prizes certainty and quick answers, but Thomas reminds us that seeking, questioning, and even wrestling with doubt…

Jesus Is the Good Shepherd John 10 Jesus said: I tell you for certain only thieves and robbers climb over the fence instead of going in through the gate to the sheep pen. 2-3 But the gatekeeper opens the gate for the shepherd, and he goes in through it.

Kids Korner: What’s a shepherd? (April 26th)
Read John 10:1-10 with your family. What is a shepherd? A shepherd is someone who takes care of sheep. That might not sound like a big deal to us – we don’t usually see sheep walking down our streets – but in Jesus’ time, it was a very important job. Shepherds stayed close to their…
Disciples in the Upper Room – Fear, Community, and Breath
The disciples huddled behind locked doors, full of fear and uncertainty. And yet, in the middle of their isolation, Jesus appeared, offering peace and breath. Fear can isolate us, but it can also be a threshold for community and connection. In those moments when we feel stuck behind “locked doors” of our own making, we…

Recognizing Jesus Luke 24 13 That same day two of Jesus’ disciples were going to the village of Emmaus, which was about eleven kilometers from Jerusalem. 14 As they were talking and thinking about what had happened, 15 Jesus came near and started walking along beside them. 16 But they did not know who he was. 17 Jesus asked them, “What were you talking…
Kids Korner: Walking with us (April 19th)
Read Luke 24:13-35 with your family. Two people were walking home together. They were sad and confused about what had happened. As they walked, Jesus came and joined them – but they didn’t recognize Him at first. He simply walked with them and listened. Sometimes we feel like that too. We might feel upset, confused,…
Road to Emmaus – When the Journey Feels Backwards
The two disciples walking to Emmaus thought the story was over. Their hopes dashed, their hearts heavy—they didn’t recognize that the very presence of hope was walking beside them. Sometimes in life, our journeys feel backward. We expect resolution, clarity, or progress, but all we see are long roads of confusion or frustration. And yet,…
