High & Holy: Pentecost | Acts 2:1-21 | Rev. Barrett Owen | 5.24.2026

When Spaces Become Places: Garden | Rev 22:1-15 | Rev. Barrett Owen | 6.7.2026

June 7 | Revelation 22:1-5 | When Spaces Become Places: Garden The Bible begins and ends in a garden. This symmetry matters, for it reminds us that where we are . . . our location . . . says something about our relationship with the Holy Spirit. Nature is one good way that the Holy Spirit uses to speak to us. If we have ears to hear and eyes to see, then we will experience the grace of God in places like gardens.

When Spaces Become Place: Temple | Exodus 35:4-21 | Rev. Barrett Owen | 6.14.2026

June 14 | Exodus 35:4-21 | When Spaces Become Places: Temple One of the most holy spaces in all the Bible is the Temple/Tabernacle. In ancient Judaism, there was even a place called “Holy of Holies.” The space where God dwells matters, and this is true in Exodus 35. As a matter of fact, the Israelite’s commitment to such a space still speaks to us today.

High & Holy: Trinity | 2 Cor 13:11-13; Matt 28:18-20 | Rev. Barrett Owen | 5.31.2026

May 31 | 2 Corinthians 13:11–13; Matthew 28:18–20 | High and Holy: Trinity The Trinity tells us something stunning: at the center of reality is not solitude, but love. Before creation, there was communion. Before mission, there was relationship. God is not lonely power, but self-giving love bound together in relationship.

High & Holy: Pentecost | Acts 2:1-21 | Rev. Barrett Owen | 5.24.2026

May 24 | Acts 2:1-21 | High and Holy: Pentecost If Ascension lifts Christ high, Pentecost brings heaven near. In Acts 2, the disciples are gathered when wind rushes through the house and flames rest upon them. Fire without destruction. Wind without chaos. God’s presence is no longer distant and removed, the Holy Spirit has come near.

High & Holy: Ascension | Acts 1:1-11 | Rev. Barrett Owen | 5.17.2026

May 17 | Acts 1:1-11 | High and Holy: Ascension The Ascension often feels like an epilogue — as though Jesus simply exits stage right. But in truth, it is a coronation. In Acts of the Apostles 1, Jesus speaks of the kingdom, blesses his disciples, and is lifted. A cloud receives him — not a weather event, but a biblical symbol of divine presence. This is enthronement language. Christ does not disappear; he reigns.
