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.

Life After Death Includes The Spirit | John 14:15-21 | Rev. Barrett Owen | 5.10.2026

May 10 | John 14:15-21 | Life After Death includes the Spirit Jesus promises another Advocate—the Spirit of truth. In the Gospel of John 14:15–21, resurrection life is described as an indwelling presence: “I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.” Life after death includes the Spirit who abides, teaches, and empowers. The risen Christ is not distant; through the Spirit, he is nearer than ever, guiding us into courageous love.

Life After Death Predicted | John 14:1-14 | Rev. Josh Godwin | 5.3.2026

May 3 | John 14:1-14 | Life After Death Predicted Before the cross, Jesus promises, “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” In Gospel of John 14:1–14, he speaks of dwelling places, abiding presence, and works greater still. Resurrection was not an accident but the fulfillment of a promise. Life after death begins with trust in the One who prepares a way through fear into hope.
