Giving Up on Getting Even

Onesimus had run away. Paul was determined to send him back to Philemon. Grace restored Onesimus to his place in the household and restored him to his place in the family as well. Join us as we explore Philemon 1:1-21. How do we pursue the will and heart of God in the midst of conflict?

Decisions That Demand Discernment

The Jesus we see in this passage seems out of character with the Jesus who loves and heals and cares for the poor. This Jesus announces division instead of peace. Sometimes, the issue that divides us is not the real issue. Join us as we explore Luke 12:49-56. Time to wake up!

Martha’s Choice

This story is not a critique of kitchen duty. This is what Martha loses sight of. She is pulled in many directions. Martha’s distraction and worry leave no room for the important aspect of hospitality; attention to the guest. Join us as we explore Luke 10:38-42. What is the one thing needed in this moment?

Extravagant Mercy from an Unexpected Source

We hear the word “Good” and “Samaritan” together so much we might think that they are one-in-the-same. Yet, Jesus uses a Samaritan to show what loving neighbor really involves. Join us as we discuss Luke 10:25-37. Finish the story!

A Heart At Peace

Jesus did not send the seventy out to prescribe behaviors but to be lived every moment of every day of our lives. Join us as we discuss Luke 10:1-11, 16-20. We aim to be fully equipped with a heart at peace!
