Luke 21:25-36

"Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

We are entering a season full of anticipation for what God is doing all around us. We can lift our heads and be filled with hope because God’s transforming grace is so close.

Rev. Scott Marshall-Kimball

John 18:33-37

"Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.' "

The sometimes frustrating yet beautiful truth that Christ is our King and not our Genie.

Mark 13:1-8

"Then Jesus asked him, 'Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.' "

Where do you see the houses of widows being eaten up by greed? Predatory lending and unjust housing development is depriving life from the most vulnerable among us.

Mark 12:38-44

"They devour widows' houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."

Where do you see the houses of widows being eaten up by greed? Predatory lending and unjust housing development is depriving life from the most vulnerable among us.

Rev. Adam Kelchner
John 11:32-44

"When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved."

Jesus wept for a friend who died. Who do you grieve? Let’s remember them and emulate the ways they loved God and neighbor.
