Go and Make - Trinity Sunday, May 31, 2026

Jesus’ command to go and make disciples is a call to go out into the places we go and love people as God loves them and teach them to love others as God loves them. The call isn’t relegated to the “professional christians” but to all who profess faith in Christ Jesus. We are able to more effectively do this through the power of the holy spirit who goes before us and also with us.

Pentecost Sunday - May 24, 2026

Pentecost is sort of the birthday of the modern church. It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the Holy Spirit that indwells believers, guiding us along our faith journey. But while we all have the same holy spirit, we have not all had the same experiences. What does it mean for those of us in the western church to be guided by the holy spirit?

Or does it compel us to use our culture’s power as an avenue to spread the gospel? Or is it something in-between? How do we best lean into the Holy Spirit so that we better display the fruits it is growing in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control?

House of Living Stone

The author of 1 Peter uses the metaphor of stones used to construct a house to explain to believers their relationship with Christ. Christ is the all-important cornerstone, but believers are an important part of the structure as well. They are living stones who have received God’s mercy and love. Their relationship is part of a royal priesthood of believers wherein they have access to God directly because of God’s great love for them.

From the Heart - April 19, 2026 | 1 Peter 1:17-25
