March 9, 2025: Bitter Tears - Maggie Knight

Mar 09 2025 34 mins  
Coming face to face with what we are capable of is often more than we can bear. This is the story of Peter. Hours before he declared his allegiance to Jesus even to the point of death. It’s possible this is what Peter wanted to believe was true about him. But then, when faced with scrutiny and questions and speculation, what was true came spilling out of Peter. Denial, not just o

March 2, 2025: This is (Not) a Rebellion - Jonathan Merritt

Mar 02 2025 37 mins  
Jesus’ revolution was like nothing the world had ever seen. It was a revolution of love. At his arrest, some seemed to believe this was going to turn violent. And in one moment it did, when a disciple struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. But Jesus’ response was different. He pointed to the fact that he was always with them, teaching and in the place of wo

February 23, 2025: Praying and Sleeping - Michael Hidalgo

Feb 23 2025 36 mins  
Luke gives us a startling picture of how agonizing Jesus’ decision was to obey. He was in the place of the “olive press” – a place where olives were pressed and crushed. Jesus is compared to an olive being pressed and crushed with the oil being squeezed out of it. Often, we abandon the humanity of Jesus and his agony in submitting to his God’s will. This was not an easy

February 16, 2025: Two Swords and a Few Other Things - Cassie Adams

Feb 16 2025 32 mins  
Many agree that Jesus espouses a nonviolent ethic; instructing us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Which is why his instruction here has the power to be confusing. However, Jesus does not stop there. He quotes the prophet Isaiah saying, “And he was numbered with the transgressors …” Which is to say that there is a connection in his mind between using t

February 9, 2025: Serving Rules - Michael Hidalgo

Feb 09 2025 40 mins  
Just after Jesus serves the disciples, they embroil themselves in a debate about who is the greatest among them – obviously missing the point. Jesus’ response is to instruct them that the Kingdom way is about serving not being served. And it is in the serving that greatness is found. While it may be easy to roll our eyes at the disciples, who are eternally dull, we may do well

February 2, 2025: Bread & Wine - Hannah Thom

Feb 04 2025 33 mins  
The meal that is recorded here is a meal that the Church has celebrated for 2,000 years. Some have called it “The Lord’s Supper,” others “Holy Communion,” and most traditionally “Eucharist.” But what does it all mean? Many recognize that it is represents the Body and the Blood of Jesus which was broken and poured out for us, but what should the people of God know? The

January 26, 2025: You Agreed to do What? - Michael Hidalgo

Jan 26 2025 34 mins  
Judas is known for one thing: betrayal. He’s an awful character in the Gospels; one who was Satan incarnate. While we assume we know his motives for betraying Jesus, perhaps we can take a step back from our assumptions. Did Judas really want Jesus dead? Or did he just miss Jesus’ message, which led him to do the unthinkable?= Some recognize that Judas may well have been connect

January 19, 2025: It’s Not the Show You Think It Is - Michael Hidalgo

Jan 19 2025 35 mins  
There is something about religion that tempts us to appear good, right, attractive, and “holy” in our own way. This is often the result of submitting ourselves to outward performance and putting on a show for others. This is what Jesus points out about the “religious” in his day. As soon as the words leave his lips, an illustration happens right in front of them. Two offeri
